My five-year-old was so excited to get them for her shoes to wear as a flower girl in my brothers wedding.  Unfortunately, they didn't hold up well at all.  The gems starting falling off of the buckle the first time she tried them on.  I decided it was no big deal (and it was the week of the wedding, so I needed to make it work).  Then after wearing the shoes for only a few hours, the heel of the shoe fell off during the wedding ceremony!!!  I only needed the shoes to last for one day, and they didn't even do that.
