This shoe is the best ever! We are on our second pair! Our daughter loves them (because of the sparkle), she leaves them on, gets excited to wear them, and they go with everything! We initially bought them from a retailer in our mall paying $45 for them Amazon $25 plus shipping still cheaper! You can't go wrong with these shoes!Last summer my daughter was playing at the park and the shoes got scuffed which I thought for sure the scuffs were there to stay. My husband had mild shoe cleaner and the scuffs came right off and the sparkle stayed. We have had no problems with the mesh ripping but I'm confident if we did that Puma would make it right.Give them a try!
