Visually beautiful ballerina, soft sole and comfortable. However, I would not recommend it to any mom. The second time my 3.5-year-old daughter wore them, the color came off (a very thin layer like leather) and they look bad. They should make them more durable considering that they are aimed at very young ages. Luckily, I bought them on sale (not that I don't cry for the money I spent on them) because at their regular price, they are not worth it.
