My son will not wear anything else. These are his "Browns" and he cries at the idea of putting on anything else. Literally! He loves them and wears them every day. They still look great! They've been soaked and thrown in the washer/dryer and keep on rocking. Best shoes ever! Worth every penny spent! Wish our stride rite store hadn't closed because I like to try on shoes,  but I have no choice but to order more browns. He loves them
