Justice Little Girl & Big Girl High Top Sneakers

my daughter has been wearing this style shoe and brand for about 3 years now. I originally bought her a pink pair for kindergarten and she immediately fell in love. she flat out doesn't like wearing any other style shoe, I have bought her a few and she has worn those less then 10 times. She says these are so much more comfortable and make her look taller. These are cuter and she says they are great for running and P.E. I will say that upon opening the box I was surprised at how shiny these are. I had no idea they were glittery. thank God my daughter likes glitter so that's a heads up if your little one doesn't like glittery things. Also these are zip up on the sides with stretchy bands for shoe laces. we had to cut the bands off in order to tighten the front of the shoe. I wish we could have kept the stretchy bands but she said her foot would fall out while running and she didn't like how lose it felt. simple adjustment really but I wish it came with shoe laces for back up. I'm keeping the bands for when her foot gets bigger and I can replace the laces. they are long lasting even her smaller sized ones are still in good condition and she would wear them if they still fit. I think that considering how good of a shoe this is and how durable and comfortable and nice looking these shoes are the price is just outrageously wonderful. they are so worth every penny, and I appreciate how affordable these are!
