My son has these shoes and he loves them so I bought this pair for his best friends 6th birthday. My son saw these in a Croc store and wanted them. I thought they were too pricey and that it was just an impulse buy. But he kept asking so I got them for his birthday. Crocs are not cheap shoes but they hold up well and don't give up before he grows out of them. These are his second pair of crocs and I am so glad that I gave in and got them for him. Worth every penny!
