Got tired of spending money on Payless dress shoes for my son that after the second wearing had the color scraped off the toes and could not really fix (because they aren't leather).  True, he only wears them on Sundays, but if they don't look nice, they don't look  nice.  These shoes were reasonably priced for a little boy's leather dress shoe.  He can slip them on, they look like Dad's, and don't have to mess with the laces either.  They look great and he likes them too!  He has a bit of a wide foot and these fit well.
