I have a pair of the Busenitz and I love them. Got a pair for my 5 year old boy and here is my take on them after two months. The leather by the toes generally just look super worn. The tongue of the shoe will not stay put and is always on the side of his foot. The sole won't quite stay in place either - but my sons kind of jams his foot in the shoe so I won't blame the shoe for that.
