Look great, easy to put on, but not as pliable as regular running shoes. I have these for my 3 year old. He wears a size 9, but I heard these run small, so I got a 10 and they fit great. I don't send him to school with these though because I don't feel they are pliable enough for the rough and tough school/playground activities they do at school. He wears these when he goes on outings with us. For school, I got him the Saucony BLAZE running shoes which are the best running shoes he has had thus far
