They look nice but we went from Pediped to THIS style NB. When your used to mostly or all leather support rather than mesh and synthetic its kinda tough. For our son the arch are of the shoes exterior sole is too narrow. He needs a wider support in that are due to his pronation at this age. Also don't dig the elastic laces. When the shoe stretches or laces relax, I won't be able to adjust them other than one strap. That strap isn't enough support for the entire foot. If your used to this style then as I said, they look nice.
