Got these for my 6 year old daughter. She loves them and I do too, they are super cute! She has wide feet so these barely fit, one pinky toe was a bit red but she didn't complain. We haven't worn them out yet, but she wore them playing around the house for several hours straight. She ran in them and had no problems. I wish they were real leather just so they'd breathe and stretch a bit, but they seem well-made and had none of that "synthetic" smell. We live in Texas so snow/ice etc. isn't something we deal with, just some chilly temps. We chose them purely for fashion and they sure deliver! She had no problems putting them on/off, side zipper is great. Not sure how they'll last, how comfy they will be on her wide feet for long periods, but just adorable boots. We've bought blingy
Ragg Kids shoes before, some of the fancy glittery tennis shoe/mary jane styles and they have always held up great. And when you buy on Zappos (I have since she was 2!) you don't ever have to worry about service...and you can buy
shoes you aren't sure about and then return them if they don't fit or you don't like them, with no hassles.
