This shoe is the best ever! We are on our second pair! Our daughter loves them (because of the sparkle), she leaves them on, gets excited to wear them, and they go with everything! We initially bought them from a retailer in our mall paying $45 for them Amazon $25 plus shipping still cheaper! You can't go wrong with these shoes!Last summer my daughter was playing at the park and the shoes got scuffed which I thought for sure the scuffs were there to stay. My husband had mild shoe cleaner and the scuffs came right off and the sparkle stayed. We have had no problems with the mesh ripping but I'm confident if we did that Puma would make it right.Give them a try!My granddaughter had these Puma's, but with the laces. We took her to view cherry blossoms in the park and one of the restroom buildings had recently had construction/updates done. We did not know we walked her through TAR! So I re-ordered these with the velcro straps. They are so comfy and well constructed for the little growing feet. The way they sparkle in the sun is just precious. Not a tacky looking glitter, they look like they are sprinkled with diamond dust! A real winner that matches most little girl outfits and keeps their little feet comfy on long day trips! Thanks Puma, and Amazon for the sale price!Purchased as girl sneakers. Looking for a product that was girly and functional. They go well with leggings and casual dresses. The side has a tear after a few weeks of wear but it goes unoticed due to material type. My duaghter is rough on her shoes. My only complaint is I don't think you can wash them because of the material. I will be looking into it.These serve their purpose of every day play shoes for my 4 year old. She can get them on by herself and she likes how they look. They are more sparkly/glittery than I realized from the photos. And the vinyl or whatever they are made of does get beat up pretty easily. But they are comfortable, stylish, cute and youthful, and my daughter doesn't complain about them. I just don't think they're the best quality overall compared to other brands I've bought my kids.I ordered these shoes in the black & hot pink for my 2 girls who are 5 & 2. I was looking for something comfortable, but cute & neutral. These are perfect! They are very cute!! I wish they had them in my size! The sparkle in the shoe is really fun & adds that extra girly touch which my girls love! My 5 year old where hers to school a lot & says they are very comfortable:) I think any little girl would love them!My 4yr old has size 11 feet according to Puma. She absolutely LOVES her Puma shoes whenever we go up a size and get a new pair. I find that the sizing tends to run small... so Puma says she's an 11, but in other boxy-toed shoes she's a solid size 10 still. Otherwise, they seem to hold up under the pressure of an extremely active kid with access to woods, creeks, pastures, etc. :) We'll be Puma supporters for a long time to come!Puma's run on the small side, I knew that, so I ordered a 1/2 size up. This is a great shoe. Perfect for my 4yr old so she still feels she's dressed up but in a pratical sneaker for school.These are absolutely the cutest sneakers! I only gave it a 3 star rating because they are not suitable for school and playing. Within the first week of wearing them, my daughter had holes in the glittery netting material. We have no idea how. They are cute shoes, but I think they are more for looks than actual wear.
