This shoe is very cute!My daughter didn't seem to have any problems while wearing them at all but the sizing is a bit small. I ordered a 6 so she could grow into them but they fit her pretty snug which was surprising. She's about a 5.The material on the outside almost seems like a pleather feel to it but it still can get dirty as well.The shoe laces are also nice but they are either a bit too short or a bit too thick meaning I can't double tie them or tie them so they stay tied since they keep untying.Overall, I would buy this product again and would recommend it to others.
