I buy these shoes on sale and for $25-30 they’re worth it. I like the wide toe box and don’t worry about them punching my kids feet. The quality is not great, however and they’re definitely not worth $50+. They last 6 months tops before they’re totally destroyed and there is 0 chance they’ll make it as hand-me-downs. This time, it was the Velcro strip that completely fell off, that made the shoes unusable, but they already had lots wear and problems before then.
