Although my son seems to love these shoes - they are not as pictured which I noticed BEFORE I ordered.  When I later showed my very particular 8-year old that the shoes were not lace-up he was pretty upset.  He had picked these shoes out when we were searching amazon for new shoes.

Other than that, we love the shoes.  Colors are the same and everything.  The shoe is actually very well made it seems.  I recently purchased DC Shoes as he tends to wear them out quickly, they did not stand the test!  These sketchers seem more solid!  Hopefully they last longer than two and a half months.
