I have always loved Skechers for my kids, but 2 weeks into my daughter wearing them and one of the eyes (hole for the lace) ripped.  Fine, I just skipped that set of hole, another 2 weeks in and 3 eyes, all on the same side ripped.  My daughter I 2, she wasn't wearing them through boulders, but to daycare or around the house or on errands.  Needless to say I am out my money and the shoes are in the garbage and I have to buy another pair of shoes.  Poor construction!
