My 3 year-old avid Spiderman fan wears these shoes daily.  The shoes are now almost 3 months old and still look new.  He wears 10 XW, and they fit his large sausage-like feet just perfectly.  There are other spiderman sneakers out there, but not in the XW sizes, and I doubt they hold up as well as these Stride rItes.  I'm glad I spent the extra money.
