These are the 2nd pair I bought my 6 yr old daughter. She LOVES these.Her reasons, pretty, naturally, and the Memory Foam inner soles. She loves how soft it feels. They actually do give quite a bit of support and bounce. The fabric in front where the shoelaces are supposed to be is stretchy so it helps her grab onto and yank on herself.The only con I could say about our first pair (she grew out of them) was after 1 maybe 2 months of wear I noticed the pattern on the toe of the shoe was fading to a white. But these are kids' shoes and they do play in them. No matter how many times I say "don't you dare scrape your nice shoes!" I've even put them through the wash. Came out brand new again. I'll definitely keep buying as long as she wants them.
