I can't say enough great things about these shoes. My four year old is really hard on shoes, so we were having to buy new ones before he even grew out of them. We're on our second pair of these Saucony Jazz shoes, with his first pair actually lasting until he grew out of them. They're durable, and we get so many compliments on the colors (his first pair was the bright blue, his second are the bright green). I'll definitely continue to buy these.
