"I bought these for my 8yo daughter. She thought that the boots were super cute, warm and comfy. They seemed to fit true to size. She wore them once (to play out in the snow for about 2 hours). When she came in the material (thin vinyl?) had already peeled off the tip of the toe and seam just above it. She was not doing anything that would have caused this to happen (i.e. dragging her toe on concrete), but was just running in about 2 in of light snow. The manager at our local DSW store was awesome and let us return these. I've purchased Totes boots in the past and will probably do so again. This model, however, seems to have a problem with the quality of the shiny material used on the toe."
