I bought these for my 5 year old daughter and they are unusable after less than 3 weeks of minimal wear. The rubber near the toe came apart & the fabric ripped. She wears them to swim lessons 4 days/week for 45 minutes each lesson. It's a vinyl lined pool and she's in the water the whole time so it's not like she's climbing on rocks or a playground. It's very disappointing and I'm going to contact Amazon about a replacement. I would highly recommend NOT buying these.
