I don't consider these sneakers adequate for running, they are simply styled like running shoes. I bought these online for my 6 year old to go to school for a few reasons;
1. I am familiar with the Crocs brand and the fit was perfect.
2. They are lightweight and super comfortable because of the materials used in the sneaker, however because the upper sneaker is constructed from fabric and suede-like material they do tend to become slightly faded after a few uses. I don't expect them to last as long as the popular Crocs sandals (Clogs) which are practically indestructible.
3. They were all black and have velcro straps instead of laces which make them easier to get on.
Good product. Couldn't rate it a 5 star because of the not so great durability.
