I ordered my daughter a pair of shoes off amazon a few months back ((Skechers)) and she came home the other day with holes in both the shoes. I had to order a pair quickly so that she would have some for school. Didn't want to spend a fortune because we are approaching sandals/flip flop weather soon and once it's warm she hates to wear tennis shoes((I live in the south)) so I needed something affordable for her to wear for the next few months. I came across these shoes and after reading through the reviews I was worried about what size to order. She wears a 2.5youth so I ordered a 2.5w little kid and was hoping they were sized correctly. They fit her perfect and loves them! Very true to size. They appear to be very well made so I don't think I'll have the same 'holes' issue that I had with the other brand of shoes. These appear to be made much thicker. The color is a very very vibrant pink , any girl who likes bright shoes will surely love these! I am going to try to find these in adult sizes as well, I like them that much!
