My granddaughter was so EXCITED to see that the design was NOT plain! She loves the vibrant colors on soles (even though most can see it when the shoes are in the water :D )We love that the soles are HIGH quality, so she can walk down from parking areas to the water and these shoes do not shred like cheaper versions.Plus the bungee laces is easily adjustable; keeps them ON her feet.I purchased these for my 9 year old niece and she loved them. Perfect fit size 1 (7) and comfortable and sturdy on the bottom.My son LOVED them. We bought them for him to use in our pool which he does wear them in the pool mostly, but we did have him wear them all day at Aquatica and they were comfortable all day for him. Wen ahead and bought another pair for his brother.The shoes were used for camping and going in the lake. Lake had a lot of rocks but they didn't seem to bother my child at all with the water shoes. She was happy with the color. Item shipped from night to next day. Shoes fitGreat grip to climb slidesUsed this on a rafting trip for my 9 year old. Comfortable, durable, and love the look!They fit very well and the materials felt well made. My son enjoyed wearing them.Lightweight and Perfect Fit. Bought two pair to match swim outfits.
