Very cute and my 5 year old who is a size 11 loves them (I wear a size 11-12). Unfortunately, after a week in our pool, she went through both. Since these are swim shoes that are useless after 5 uses in the pool, they can be as cute as you want, but in my book they end up with a star. I'm hoping the manufacturer will consider bending the sole slightly over the toes for protection. She. I would buy it again in a heartbeat if that were the case.
