So I bought this shoes for my son (4 yrs - size 12) based on (a) customer reviews and (b) I am a sketchers fan.  I had previously bought a different type for my son and he loved it, but it got too small and they didn't have the other size up so I decided on this pair.

First, the stiches in the front of the shoes came out.  Second, the tongue of the shoes is really horrible when you try to put them in to close the Velcro.  He also said it was uncomfortable.  Overall, this shoes has been a huge disappointment and my son wore it twice and that's it.  I can't even get him to put his feet anywhere near them.  I have since found the right size from the previous one and have ordered same.  Hopefully, it will be ok and he will be happy again.
