I like this brand. It is a good pair for my active 8-year-old boy. I wouldn't say it is a GREAT pair because I know it is not as durable as Geox Kid. My son is always on the go and very active. I was hesitating about this pair, but the colour was very vivid and the price was awesome at about $33. So, I got this pair. My son's current size is 4. I got the size 4 after reading the review that this brand runs big. Well, first of all, the sizing chart is way off. My son's Size 4 was 240cm according to the label inside the shoes. It was supposed to be 22.2cm, or 8 3/4 inch. 240cm (or 9-1/2 inch) is about Size 6!  So, you get the idea how big this pair runs! I've got the yellow/ blue pair, and it is a bright and nice color. I am debating whether I should keep this pair for my son, or return it.
