I purchased these shoes for my 7 year old who is admittedly very hard on his footwear. These shoes began to fall apart about a week after he started wearing them but it appeared to be due to cheap construction and not wear and tear. The outer rubber rim on the soles of the shoes started to detach and the rubber stamped logo from the sole of one of the shoes also came off. Luckily Zappos has great customer service and I was offered a new shoe as a replacement.

The Viviana thong is sooo cute! I only wish I could afford a pair in black. They are, also, very comfortable. I am wearing them to a wedding as you can dress them up or dress them down. They do run a half size small. I ordered an 8l/2 as size 8 was sold out and I am glad I did, as they are perfect!
