The mark of a good kid's shoe is that it lasts longer than it fits - and this did. Not only did our three-year-old wear this as part of his uniform most days, he wore them on hikes and while riding his bike in the afternoons (he preferred them to his normal play-shoes). Even though he's now outgrown them, the leather still looks very good and we sold the used pair on eBay for almost half of the original purchase price. Excellent shoe, good investment, matches most school uniforms, buy it.
