The netting on these sandals is not the greatest. On the second day of my 4 yr old wearing them, several holes appeared, large enough for little toes to pop out of. Not safe. He LOVES these shoes otherwise, great style and the light up eyes are &#34;awesome&#34;. Thank you to Amazon for letting me send that first pair back in exchange for round two!<br /><br />Round two- one sandal definitely has a hole in the netting of the toe area. The other one looks great. I have reinforced the hole with needle thread. Overall not the quality of expect from Stride Rite, especially after 2 to 7 days of use.
