My son has wide feet like me and these shoes are a great fit for him. The color scheme is sharp and striking. They have a non tie shoestring that he can just cinch up to tighten. He usually just slips them off and on. I will buy these in the next size up so that he will have them again when he grows out of them. They are very flexible and comfortable for him for all day at school and during recess and PE. He's very particular about his shoes but these were a winner! Yay!
