These shoes are cute and the materials are perfect for kids running outside during the summer. However, my daughter can only wear them a short while before she complains that her toes hurt. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the tops of the shoes are quite low, so they rub on the tops of her toes. Even though the length of these shoes is good (any longer and they'd be too big and difficult to walk in), the height of the toe space is inadequate. There is also a seam that runs along the edge of the enforced toe area and along the top of the toes (not the front) which also makes the problem worse.
