I was very disappointed with this purchase (not from Amazon, so no option to return). We bought these shoes in November and by January, the strap had split so that the velcro stays stuck to the shoe and the strap flaps around and offers no help for getting the shoe off. My son is pretty active, but he's not destructive by any means. He tends to grow out of things before he wears through things. The seams on the front of the shoes are already starting to split and unravel. The lights work just fine and they fit him. If he weren't so frustrated with the velcro strap splitting, he would still be wearing them, but they went in the trash less than 3 months after buying them.
