I bought these shoes for my son (he is an active outdoor 9 year old). I bought them in December 2017 and by beginning of March 2018 these shoes were broken and worn out. I bought these because a friend recommended for its durability. They are very nice and comfortable shoes but definitely don't last. I have bought walmart, nike and adidas shoes and they have last 2, 3 and 4 months, now we are trying Merrell brand. he likes to hike and explore outdoors and I wished I can find shoes that last him at least 6 months.
