My son loves these shoes and says he doesn't want any other kind! Comments on how comfortable they are and light as air. I have noticed some scuffing and stitching now coming out but my son is VERY active and that doesn't surprise me. He goes through shoes pretty fast. I would not consider them the highest quality but to keep them light, the material used is not going to hold up too well for boys. They are spendy but I would still recommend them.
