Super cute and my 5 year old with size 11 shoes loves them (mine is 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 hope the manufacturer considers bending the outsole slightly over the toes for protection. She. I would buy it again in a heartbeat if that were the case.
