Petalia Girls Classic Mary Jane Shoes for School Uniform - Comfortable Leather Mary Janes for Toddler, Little & Big Girls - Perfect for School, Church & Special Occasions

I was looking for two pairs of navy blue Mary Jane style shoes for my twins for school. I base my purchases heavily on product reviews (this item had no reviews when I purchased), but because the color/style I was searching for was proving difficult to find, I decided to take a chance on this item. I ordered only one pair initially, since I am not familiar with the brand and unsure of the quality and fit. Upon arrival, the shoes matched the photos shown online. They did seem slightly larger than other shoes of the same size, but not so much that they would be unwearable. I was very pleased with the purchase based on the look, although I wish the blue wasn't so dark in person, and somewhat pleased with the fit.I was disappointed, however, that hardly over a week after I ordered these, I went to purchase the second pair and the price had jumped from $19.99 to $27.99. The listing stated there were only two left in stock with no information on future availability, and the rep. I chatted with informed me that the pricing was the best/lowest price they could offer. So, if I wanted to guarantee that my kids each had a pair, I had to buy at the much higher price. I briefly considered returning the first pair, but ultimately decided to keep the shoes since I'd had trouble finding what I wanted and am trying to be prepped well ahead of time for everything they'll need for a new school.I cannot yet comment on the durability of these shoes. I will try to update on their long-term quality and if they were worth the price.
