My six year old is particular about how his clothes should fit and feel and will not wear an article of clothing if it does not pass his strict standard.  We were pleasantly surprised that he immediately accepted these after putting them on.  They look great.  Compared to his past shoes these did not look as sturdy.  In fact the toe looks like it would last a short time.  They have passed the longevity test as the soles have worn through before the fabric did.  We have ordered the next pair and hope to receive them in the mail soon.
