I bought these for my 3 year old son to wear as dress shoes.
I chose these based on reviews as well as the looks.
Well they have stood up very well to some very vigorous handling by my son who sometimes wants to wear them at home.

They still look good.  No scuffing.
They seem very comfortable as he doesn't ask for them to be removed after running around in them for hours.

I would definitely buy the brown if I could afford it...actually will buy for when his feet grow a bit if they're still around.

Love it and he loves it too.
