I bought the skechers pistonz shoes for our five year old grandson.  He likes the black, navy, and orange color combination.  He wanted these particular shoes because they have the springs in the heel area.  He can put the shoes on, easily, by himself because of the velcro closure.  He also likes the way the shoes feel on his feet; they are comfortable to wear.  The only thing I noticed at first, is he had a small balance issue because the springs make the shoes slightly taller than shoes without springs, but he quickly adjusted to this and I don't notice a balance issue now.  Would definitely recommend.
