I bought these shoes along with other pairs from Pediped, my daughter first had them for about 7 months period. I kept them clean and had my son wear them on playground later, didn't matter for me if they looked a little girlish but I didn't want him to miss the fun of wearing them ..

My granddaughter had the primary color sandals last summer, and she was comfortable and received compliments every time she wore them. So when I saw the lavender ones, by the way her favorite color, I knew she needed them. The quality and durability are outstanding!
