My son loves these shoes. They fit good and are comfortable. The problem is that the first pair we got, the lining under the laces separated after one time wearing them. I sent them back and we got another pair, which promptly did the same thing. I decided to repair the holes myself because he really likes them. Then, the stitching around the toes where the sole is connected to the top started to come undone. Then, the eyelets that hold the laces started to rip one by one to the point that he now has to tape across the laces just so they stay on. He is 16 and has been wrestling for 11 years & ive never had a pair of wrestling shoes that didn't last through two seasons. I will now have to replace them which sucks when they cost so much!!! I would NOT recommend buying these shoes no matter how much your kids likes the look of them. You will be replacing them in no time.
