UPDATE: 12/15/21 I have been meaning to update these for you guys, because they both definitely didn't last long before chipping. I noticed small chips pretty quickly since I was aware of the reviews and was paying attention in both pairs within days of wear, but the rainbow looked really bad by a month or so in. My daughter continued to wear them, andthey continued to lose more & more color. I feel like the rainbow one's chipped faster, or maybe it was just more noticeable because they didn't already have white in their design, so it stood out more having those breaks in the color. The red, white, and blue looked better longer, eventhough they were technically chipping as well, but they're still wearable a year later with regular wear through the summer, and on & off outside of that, and you can still tell what the design of the shoe is meant to be. The rainbow is "technically" wearable as well, but you can't really tell what's going on with the design or what it used to be. &My daughter prefered the red, white, and blue, so they've been worn more. I would rate them a 4 star, and the rainbow a 2 star. The fact I got them on sale is the only saving grace for the rainbow ones. I wouldn't pay more than $15-$20 for them, and that's only for the novelty of the tie dye colors and how popular it is right now, and if you really really want them despite knowing they won't last. If I hadn't been warned and paid full price, I would be really upset. Also, my daughter is now in a size 2 in Nike and can still wear both sizes. She says the size 2 is starting to be too small, but that could be because she's used to wearing a 3 in them, as well.ORIGINAL REVIEW: These are a little darker tie dye than what some of the shades of color look in the picture description, which is frustrating. The design is the same, but the blue, green, &yellow is much darker in person than it shows online. I had hoped the darker shaded ones in the reviews were from an old listing, but they're not. You can get these dark "multi" ones or the really light "pastel" ones that only have a few colors. Luckily my daughter likes them anyways.I bought the Rainbow tie dye in a size 2 for my 9yr old daughter, and my mom bought her a size 3 in the red, white, & blue tie dye. She loves tie dye so we took the chance on them even after seeing the pictures of how the paint chips off. Luckily, we got them for a good value right before Christmas or I don't know that I would have picked the tie dye. I can already tell that the rainbow one's will chip because they have just slightly after a few wears, and probably the other pair, too. My daughter has only wore the rainbow so far, and I will update once the weather is nice and she gets more use out of them. I don't understand why they don't make the tie dye like their other colored design Crocs that don't fade. It's a shame, because they really are cute and make an outfit pop!My daughter is in between a 1 &1.5 in Nike tennis shoes, has always had tiny feet, but can wear the 2 &3 in these. She has room to grow in both sizes tho, and still has no issues keeping them on, which was my only concern. These are true to size, but I sized up and they fit just fine. I didn't want to chance getting a 1 and them not fitting by Spring/Summer.These are authentic from everything I can tell comparing them to retail Crocs. I'm giving these 4stars right now, only because my daughter LOVES them, they're comfortable, &they really are cute. They deserve 3 stars due to the incorrect color description, and probably 2 stars if they chip quickly. I will update if needed. I'm hoping they'll last through the Summer without looking janky, and will come back to update to let you know how they fair. My daughter plays hard when it's nice out, so we'll see. I hope my experience & pictures help give you an idea of what to expect in person or help you in some way.
