These are decent quality shoes. They are nice looking and pretty sturdy. They are much lighter than they look, which for me was a good thing as my son dislikes heavy bulky shoes. Hes only worn them a couple times so far and he says he likes them and they are comfortable, except that he cant wiggle his toes that much. I guess they might be a little narrow because they fit well lengthwise. Anyway, he may just need to break them it. He wants to keep them so the toe wiggling must not be a deal breaker for him.
