We bought these shoes on April 10 of this year, and it's now August 2. So it's been about 3.5 months during a hot North Carolina summer (which means very little sneaker wearing). My daughter wore these to school about 10-15 times, and then during summer break about 5 times. So a total of 15-20 times, and I'm being conservative. She's about as far from a tomboy as possible (I have to make her go outside, and she almost always wears crocs when she does) and the &#34;grass&#34; where she played at school is that high-end artificial grass, so it doesn't get muddy or gross out there. In conditions like these, I'd expect these shoes to look decent after 15-20 wears. I'm not expecting them to look perfect, of course. But they look awful! All chewed up with the color and the sparkles rubbed off in several places. I don't think I can even give these to Goodwill. I've attached a photo so you can judge for yourselves. Keep in mind, this is 15-20 uses TOPS in very mild conditions.
