I purchased my 6 year old daughter a pair "Twinkle Toe" Sketchers shoes two months ago. There were for "school" only, not play shoes. They are destroyed and falling apart. She has never, ever, worn out a pair of shoes. All the glitter and shiny stuff is gone, the pictures have rubbed off. The rhine stones are falling off. The top of the shoe has completely detached from the tongue of the shoe and the soles are coming unglued from the toe. These shoes have been spot cleaned by hand but not washed. I am so disappointed with these costly little shoes. She is now wearing her "Old" Nike's which look brand new next to this 2 month old shoe, which I bought in September at Kohl's for $44.99. My husband told me not to let her wear them anymore in October because they looked so ragged.
The durability of the shoes are non existant. They are so cute but I can't buy them for my (3) kids because I can't replace them every two months when they tear up. I have contacted Sketchers about this and I am waiting for a reply.
