The sandals are cute and the size 9 fit my son's feet as expected.  However, the rubbee side of the sole of one of the shoes started peeling off after a single day. The other one has held up fine after about a month and the bottom of the sole has held up so far on the other one. Perhaps just one defective shoe. Still, my son does a lot of running around outside and I'm not confident how long these will last. With the exception of the sole though, the rest of the sandals look great. They are cute and easy for my son to put on and take off.
