text: I bought these boots for my 4 year old granddaughter, and she absolutely loved them.  She still wears them as her favorite footwear.  The problem: within 3 months of purchase, the stitching started coming apart.  She couldn't bear to part with them, so we didn't return them. She just wears the with one side seam split open.  We tried gluing them, but the man-made material will not hold the glue for very long.  I'm currently looking for another pair of boots for her, but I will never buy another pair of Roper boots.
