I'm a busy single mom so I did something daring: I shopped for shoes for my son online -- with him. It was so convenient and I had a great experience! We've had the shoes for a month and we love it.

I knew I wanted Sketchers. My son is very active and only Sketchers lasts through his running and "karate moves" and other wear and tear exercises. In his words, Sketchers "gives him superpower" to run as fast as lightning. It is indeed, a great and supportive sneaker for active young boys. My son chose this particular sneaker because of the cool light up feature. It is also practical; it is all dark colors so it always looks clean. It's easy to pull on with the velcro strap so a seven year old should have no trouble getting in and out of it. In all -- excellent boy's shoe.
