We bought the Spiderman looking shoes. My 8 year old is tough on shoes, to be sure. But after having only about 4 months, the sole started coming off, from the front working its way back.

For the price, these shoes are not really worth it, in my opinion. He wears 4 1/2, and we bought size 35 in these shoes.they fit very well. My son enjoySee full review
