My daughter always wears Vans shoes and since she had purple and blue shoes it was time to buy RED! Vans are what kids wear to school today and have been inexpensive ever since. I don't mind buying new ones when the old pair is worn out. Wear and tear: The shoes are quite hard-wearing, but since they are made of fabric (tarpaulin) and not leather, they stretch quite easily. The color also fades fairly quickly, but that could be due to the hot Hawaiian sun. The tread doesn't wear out as quickly, however. The color is white and quickly turns brown. Desire came in black. Also, it may be worth buying a pair of insoles as the ones that come with the kit also wear out and tear quickly.
