I bought the least expensive tennis shoes I could find on the Walmart website. A few weeks later, the Velcro would not stay put. So in I started looking for other shoes. I wanted inexpensive ones, but I was nervous that these would be the same super low quality. I have been pleasantly surprised to find that we've had these about 3 months and there is zero to complain about. The light color pink on the top got understandably dirty, but all kids shoes will get dirty. Highly recommended. I would buy these again, and I'm about as frugal as they come.
