I have purchased this brand since my son started walking and he is 6 years old now!!  I have always given it high reviews and never had any issues until I purchased this pair.  The shoes are very comfortable and great for growing feet, but it started wearing out after a short time.  The threads and front seal started coming off and the shoes started shifting inwards, causing a lot of pain for my son.  He is really active, so I have just purchased another pair of different shoes from same brand and hoping that it will last longer!!  Otherwise, I have to move to another brand!!!
