Great little sandal. We went shopping for sturdy little girls sandals for my 8 yr old granddaughter to at least five local stores last week. Every sandal we found were flimsy and we knew they wouldn't hold up, so we thought we would try these. They are very sturdy. Loved the Velcro straps, making it easy to change from bare feet to socks and adjust as needed. We don't want her little feet to slosh around in her shoes and cause a fall. She loved the color combinations, especially the pink with silver sparkles. She ran and climbed on things all afternoon and they held up great! We will definitely buy more before summer is over so she will have a few pair for school before it gets cold again.
