My son ABSOLUTELY loves these shoes. He actually wears them to school which concerns me because he has such big size 16 feet. But, my husband reminded me that he's so comfortable in them because with size 16 shoe you usually can only find basketball shoes that fit perfectly. His feet can really breathe in these and he says the sole is so light and comfy that he wants another pair before he wears this pair out. My teen says they are great and my husbands wants a pair too now after trying them on.
