This is a very cute sneaker -- practical for play, but more stylish and sleeker than some. It's pink and a little shimmery (key for my 5-year old), but not garish. It ran a little small and is also on the narrow side. Zappos customer service is excellent -- the best I've experienced on-line. I had to exchange this shoe for a larger size. Zappos processed the return immediately -- sent me the new shoe before I'd sent back the original one. In contrast, another on-line site recently sent me the wrong item, but would neither refund my payment nor ship what I had actually ordered until they'd received my return.
