My child used these for 10 months. They were used extensively for outdoor play, so there are noticeable dirt and scratches. There are no tears. The following is an excerpt from an online shop: These waterproof kids' shoes are from RICOSTA, a German brand, perfect for rainy days. Equipped with a SYMPATEX membrane, they offer excellent waterproof and breathable properties. They prevent stuffiness and keep feet dry. The lightweight and soft sole gently fits children's feet, allowing them to run around energetically. The last is designed from an orthopedic perspective to support the natural growth of the foot. RICOSTA is a German brand that has been specializing in children's shoes for over 70 years. They are trusted by parents worldwide for their high-quality materials and manufacturing. These shoes are recommended for school, outdoor activities, and everyday wear. - Color: Gray - Style: Sneakers - Features: Velcro straps Thank you for looking.
