***Here we are 90 days later and I have to edit this review to share our disappointment. The soles of both shoes have worn holes at the front of the foot area. This light weight material on the sole does not hold up well. The shoes still look great but not the soles. Will not buy these again. He is not overly hard on his shoes. My 11 year old has a pair and his are wearing quickly too.*** My 12 year old needs a man's size 11.5 shoe. Since he's still a kid the foot isn't quite as filled out as a man's would be so most shoes, while they fit in length the girth seems to be big and bulky for him. These are absolutely perfect for his long thin foot. Because they are a flexible mesh material, I would imagine that they would work well for just about any foot though. My son loves the lightweight and stylish look of this shoe and I thought the price was good compared to local stores. I love the ease and selection of ordering with Amazon Prime!
