My six year old son loves his new shoes. They look really good and the quality is excellent. My only complaint is that this particular brand seems to run just a little smaller than the other brands I buy sneakers from (e.g. Sketchers.) My son wears a 12 1/2, and they usually have a lot of room in the toes. I bought these at size 13 and they fit  just a little bit tighter than a 121/2! So I would recommend buying a half size above  the usual size, if you are buying shoes for your son to 'grow into to.'
