My son loves these shoes and the lights on the eyes really are bright.  He stomps them for everyone to see (he just turned 4).  BUT I wish I tried them on him at the store, as I think these shoes run small.  He has a wide foot and I ordered an 11W (he wears about a 10 - 10.5), but they are too tight.  I will have to get him a new pair in a month or so, and that's not worth it for $48.
