My daughter really loves these shoes. The coloring is muted so they aren't too shocking, but the accents are bright making them visually appealing. The memory foam feels nice, but my daughter said she doesn't really notice a difference in the feel compared to her non-memory foam shoes. They are all material, no leather accents, so I don't know how they will hold up. However, after a full week of school use they look like they will easily last a few months until she outgrows them. Excellent shoe for the price!
