Hi L.,
I feel for you,I have a 9 1/2 Daughter that is a total Tomboy. I have had problems with her shoes too. I have found a store that is in the Malls called "JOURNEYS", they are a great store for what your looking for in KIDS SHOES.
I buy all of my childrens shoes there. My Daughter has Shoes called DVS, DC'S, OSINIS & ADIO these are the best tough had wearing shoes for infants to adults. Our whole family has several pairs each & they stay to their word. The store "JOURNEYS" even garentees their merchandise. These shoes are as or little more expensive then Nike, Addidas or Sketchers but the quaility tells itself and Yes, You will get your monies worth.
My Daughter & Son play sport all year long as a new Sport asrises, Were off to the JOURNEY SHOE STORE. Our children Play Soccer in & out door with these shoes & when their needing a cleaning Well I throw them into my washier & air dry them they hold up great. They are like new, clean & not washier damage to the shoes at all. I truely exercise these shoes to you cause we all have them in our family & they stay to their word as a great shoe product.
Good Luck
M..B.
