Purchased for my daughter's entrance ceremony in April 2025. Since she only wore them for the entrance ceremony and commuting to and from school, they are in near-new condition. However, they have been worn once, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this. ⭐︎ The shoes themselves are flexible, have soft cushioning, and the soles have good grip, so my daughter seemed to find them easy to walk in. The belt does not come off, but it has elastic, making it easy to put on and take off. They are size 19cm, but they have insoles, so you can also use them as 18.5cm.
