I have kids.  Four kids.  They go through shoes.  I am always on the lookout for a decent brand shoe that will last, for a reasonable price.  This is a great shoe.  So far, it's holding up a lot better than more expensive brands that I have tried.  The picture as shown must be a toddler shoe.  I bought this big enough for my 7-year old and the shoes look more "grown up" than pictured.
