I got these booties for my 13 year old (and for myself too :-) ). When they 1st arrived, I did not necessarily love them at 1st sight. I always feel like shoes that are not real leather kind of comes off cheap looking. However, when I tried them on and when my daughter tried them on, they really look super cute and not cheap at all. The buckle can be adjusted to help those with smaller ankles like my daughter. Also, my daughter wore them to school the next day for dress down day and bragged about how comfortable they were. Nice for the price!
