My first grade daughter is very happy wearing these
shoes to school! She prefers dressy
shoes, clothes... The
sole is cushioned nicely, flexible, and has a bit of grip. The fabric sash/bow has some sort of coating that makes it really durable, hasn't snagged, repels water, wipes clean. She can work the buckle easily and the patent leather is holding up really well!. Only problem is she found a loose string where the little jewels were sewn onto the bow and she pulled them all off at school, so they are gone on one shoe. She still loves them, and can scale any part of the playground in them, no problem. She will get every penny out of these
shoes this year. They will be thoroughly scuffed by the time she outgrows them, but my main concern is comfort and foot protection, and her willingness to wear the shoe, and I would buy another
Pampili shoe without hesitation.
