I really like the look of this shoe, which I purchased for my son's upcoming First Communion. He's only tried it on once and they seem to fit well. My son's only complaint seems to be related to the heel height, but that's neither here nor there. He's just not used to dress shoes and the difference between the heel heights. The strap is great because you don't actually see the velcro and it looks very sleek. It's a well-styled shoe for a young boy.
