At first I loved these shoes as evidence by my first post below but they are wearing out very fast. My son wears these shoes everyday and we have had them for a month. They already have a big chunk of suede (about the size of a dime)that has worn off the side.

"I bought these son for my 6 year old son. We are still practicing tying shoes. He is having a hard time learning how. Until he has masters the skill of shoe tying I wanted some shoes that he can easy manage on his own when he is at school. These are wonderful. He says they are comfortable and I think they look great!
