text: These shoes were a bit of a disappointment. I bought them for my niece and wanted something a little more durable than a 'slipper'. That is why I was willing to spend a bit more for a dress up shoe. However,the quality of the shoe was definitely not worth $25. They sparkles are falling off rapidly and the seams look cracked and dirty. One positive is that they seem comfortable and easy for my niece to walk in.
