My little guy loves these shoes even more than he does the Batman rain boots I got him for Halloween. Now he actually has some bat gear he can wear every day! They're really well made and appear to be very durable. I bought a whole size bigger (so they would last longer) and the fit is still snug enough that they don't fall off his feet. The glow-in-the-dark part seems to be a bonus for my guy and not the main "cool" factor. I will definitely purchase another pair when he outgrows these.
