Our 4 year old is a shoe destroyer. It takes him a matter of 3 weeks tops to destroy a shoe. Even name-brand shoes are no match for the awesome destructiveness he can dish out to a pair of shoes. He destroyed a pair of nike running shoes in two weeks. Nike basketball shoes in one week.

Then we got these shoes. They are worth ever penny plus more. They seem to be impervious to his shoe-destroying powers. I thought if they held up pretty good I might buy another pair or two to replace when they were eventually demolished. So far these shoes look as if they will be the first pair that our kid has ever outgrown. That's the kind of shoe you want as a parent if your kid is a little monster.

It's been May 2, 09 to July 12, 09 (about 12 weeks) and they are still on his feet and looking just as good today as they did when we got them. They are not the "coolest" shoe in the world, but my 4-year old could care less. I could care less. They are durable and they save me money.
