I'd picked these Skechers out for my 10 year old because he'd told his mom he wanted "shoes more like dad's"...lol. I found these at a great price here on Amazon and ordered them. He chose the brown color scheme, (it matches his maroon & khaki/black school uniform). I liked that they didn't break the bank like some of his other shoes & sneakers. They fit him well with little 'breaking-in'. All in all, a good-looking casual kids' shoe for school with the value factor raising these to 5 stars.
