This is our 3rd pair for my almost 9 year old who is a size 2.5. She is very picky about shoes and has sensory and sensitivity issues with all clothing items. Those were the winners! I gave them 3 stars for durability simply because the last pair came off the sole earlier than expected in a sock. They weren't very old yet, but her first pair was a workhorse and lasted until she outgrew them. She's rough with her shoes, so I treat the damaged one as a one-off and order more. We think it's great for the price and comfort.
