These boots are really good quality, and my son LOVES them.  They look great too.  The bad news (for us anyway) is that they seem to run a bit large and are very heavy (due to thick, sturdy rubber soles on the bottom).  They are a bit awkward for him to walk in, but he tries anyway.  He mostly succeeds in getting where he wants to go in them on level surfaces, but everytime he lifts up his feet to go up steps or to climb up onto a seat, they fall off his feet.  I am still rating these a 4 out of 5, because they are great boots...  I am just hoping they are more practical for my son when he grows into them!
