My daughter LOVES her "sparkle shoes", and has worn them most of the spring and now into mid-late summer. Ours are, lovingly, filthy; she wears them so often I cannot wash them. Literally, every day for every activity, these are her choice of shoes. She normally loves something new, but not when it comes to shoes. I've tried to offer newer (cleaner) shoes, but she's not interested. She doesn't care that they have popsicle, mud, and grass stains, that they're practically brown now with no more hint of the initial sparkle, or that there's a small hole forming on the top. They are clearly very comfortable, and considering how much they are being worn, I don't consider the little hole a defect, they've been put through the ringer. The rubber around the edges and the soles are in perfect shape, just a little hole in the material in one spot near her toes. We will definitely be ordering more of this style, but I think I may get another color, otherwise she'll live in those, too. — for Flex® Barbara Tan Sparkle Stripe

We adore this shoe, after searching everywhere for suitable pair, I am so glad we stumbled across this shoe. My daughter has what I describe as tall rather than wide feet and we find that this may jane style suites her perfectly, and pleases her schools very strict dress code. My daughter who is notoriously rough on shoes, wears these most days and they have held up beautifully.  — for Flex® Barbara Tan Sparkle Stripe
