I bought these shoes for my 3 year old son to use for baseball. He only wore them 9 times, for his Tball games. There isn't a lot of action in Tball, so it wasn't like it even got heavy usage. I noticed yesterday that there is a HUGE tear in the seam. What the heck?!! He has Chuck Taylors that have lasted with heavy abuse for a year and are still in good condition. I'm not sure if this is a specific product defect but I am definitely not happy with these shoes. I would have expected more from Adidas.
