My son loves sketchers and refuses to wear anything else!  Luckily I have an outlet store close by so I can stock up and get discounts.  These shoes were great and my son loved them but the velcro broke after about three months.  It's pretty rare that my son can actually wear shoes longer than three months anyway, because of how quickly his feet grow, so I only took one star off for the short life span of the shoes. I really like sketchers for all of my kids because they are just so easy for kids to put on :)
