My daughter has worn these almost every day since I bought them for her. She loves them. I have another set of hiking boots for her but these were supposed to be her backup. They've basically become her primary and she loves them. The only problem I have with them is that the laces are super thin. They come untied easily so she has to double knot her laces. The shoes however hold up extremely well. We'll probably buy her another set larger as she grows.
