My son has slightly wider than normal feet.  He wears between a 5.5 and 6 and the 6 fit him perfectly with a little toe room to grow.  These shoes look great and make him feel like he can run fast and jump high.  They have lots of good tread on the bottom and a significant sole for jumping.  I can't see these wearing out anytime soon.  The laces start a bit high on the foot which makes tying take a bit longer than his other shoes.  Because his feet are a little wider in nature, he has to loosen the laces first to get his foot in and then retighten them in order to tie them tightly.  They've held up well to scuffs and hard bike riding.  A great purchase!
