Bought these a couple of weeks ago for my (almost) 3 y.o. son. He wears them to daycare daily and they still look brand new. In three days, he dogged out a pair of tennis shoes so bad they looked like a puppy's chew toy, but the Newports look FANTASTIC! I am super impressed with them. I did notice yesterday that his feet were a little stinky (90 degree weather), but that's what sweaty feet do. Unless something substantial happens with the quality of these shoes in the future, he will get a pair of these EVERY summer.
