My two girls have wore these for the past two years. They are made with high quality cause they have lasted this long and my girls wore these every single day almost. I would have to make them wear other shoes. These didnt hurt their feet and i bought them a half size larger so they could grow into them and that was a good thing cause they would still be wearing them if they were not too small now. They ran and played in these boots and when not able to fit them anymore you would not believe the tears (seriously they cried over some pink boots!). I will be getting them another pair each.
