My 8 year old wears these daily and loves the way the feel. He says they are very comfortable and he loves the way they look (I let him pick them out form choices on amazon and other sites). They have lasted a long time without any major breakdowns, however the shiny silver looked grungy and old within the first week of buying them. He does wear them constantly and has never complained about the comfort or fit - but the finish is not necessarily made to look new under normal kid wear and tear.
