My li'l guy's gone through six pairs of shoes in the past 4 months so I was looking for something that would last. The amount of rubber along the sole is fantastic - at least twice the amount on other shoes. I'm hoping that'll prevent the toe and heel holes he keeps getting. The design and construction of the shoe's impressive!! I also bought the Iron Man X-Celeracer.

UPDATE: We're on month #4 and he still doesn't have any scrapes or holes in these shoes. These are absolutely wonderful and I'll definitely be purchasing more. These've lasted 6x longer than his other shoes. I'm a happy camper. :)
