Bought these to be my son's winter sneakers.  Wanted something heavier than a mesh running shoe.  They have done a good job, showing little wear after a few months of everyday wear on a five-year-old boy.  He says they are "cool" and are comfortable enough that he wears them all day without complaint.  He has always had wide feet, so we were glad to find a comfy shoe that we didn't have to order in extra wide.  I love that they go with pretty much any outfit.  When he outgrows these, we will be buying another pair in the next size up!
