These shoes are super cute for my 5-year-old daughter. I bought them for the upcoming school year. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they have pretty much no padding inside. I'm hoping that they will be comfortable enough to wear all day with socks. No way could she wear them without.  Updated --  I deducted 2 stars from my original review.  My daughter has worn these shoes several times to school now.  The first time, they caused a blister on her little toe through her socks.  The second time, I noticed a blister at her heel.  She loves the shoes and won't let me throw them away, so I just make sure that she wears her thicker athletic socks with them to minimize the damage.  I wanted to love these, because they are so cute, but I just can't anymore.  I am very disappointed.
