Love stride rite shoes and the pink sparkles make my daughter very happy, but the tops of the bows got scuffed very quickly. Still overall happy with them but not as durable as the pair she had last year where the sparkle was in the fabric, not glued on glitter.This pair is cute but hurts while wearing it. Had to return. The soft motion line is much better quality.I expected a flexible sole but these weren't very flexible. They were returned.
