I bought these shoes about 7 months ago for my 5th grader and she loved them!!!!  They are VERY light and very easy to tumble in.  Would also make a great shoe for a flyer.  I just purchased this second pair of shoes for my 3rd grader and she loves them too.  I am so glad they come in kid and adult sizes!!!  They are much better than most of those higher priced cheer shoes.
