We are on our third pair of these shoes for my now 5 year old son.  Though initially I purchased them elsewhere, the price is a bit better here.  The "T-Rex eye" lights do not last long, at most a month, although my son doesn't mind because of the way they look with the nice stitching around the eye area and the footprint.  He loves the red menacing eyes and the fairly realistic footprint as he walks of a T-Rex.  He used to roar when he first got them but now just likes them.  There are other Dinosole styles but this is by far the best looking design.  The others look painted on. I found they run fairly true to size but my son does have a slender build so what others say may be true.  He loves them and says they are comfortable, wearing them daily and I almost can't get him out of these shoes.  I have never seen any marks on his feet as in rubbing, or marks so they must be comfy. I can feel cushion but it's not overly thick. The top part of the shoe (big toe) area does wear off a little and a bare spot shows (in the suede area) but a black marker covered that well enough for the remainder of time until the next pair.  I was able to donate these shoes (after cleaning them) since they were in good condition.  I would have given them a 5 star rating except for ALL 3 pair we have purchased the lights do not last at all, mostly less than a month. This is a problem that should be fixed or built better.  Other light up shoes last much longer from what I've seen. I would recommend these to a dinosaur lover, however, to those who want the lights, make sure your child understands the lights are temporary at best.
