These shoes are gorgeous for a toddler whereby a little sparkle is all that an outfit needs - it makes any of the jewel toned colors in clothes &#34;just pop&#34;, making an otherwise boring ensemble lovely. Anyway, these shoes are very well constructed and durable. Some constructive criticism would be to rethink the adhesive used for the &#34;jewels&#34;. I personally think that about four of them were just not installed with adequate adhesive, simply because they fell off the first day of wear and not one of the other jewels have budged since. We opted not to return the shoes over this because of how happy and enthused about our toddlers new look wearing them that we just superglued the jewels back and so far, so good.
