My 7 year old saw these sneakers on TV and absolutely had to have them. The reviews were all over the place and I didn't feel comfortable spending $60 on sneakers that may or may not be worth it, so I added them to my Wish List and checked back daily hoping for a price drop. Sure enough they went down to $30 and I snatched them up! He was so excited to wear them, and show them off to his teacher and friends. The fit was perfect, and according to my son "super comfy". We didn't experience any of the problems the lower-starred reviews mentioned. He's been wearing them for months and, although they're becoming a little worn from constant use, they're holding up very well. These are his go-to shoes for everything, and they really are pretty cool looking. Definitely a great purchase!
