We've been buying this style of shoe for almost two years now. With other styles, my son would put his tongue in that area, but with this style that wasn't possible. My son is not good with shoes so the frequency of their purchase doesn't bother me. Also, the size increase didn't bother me until these showed up. The insole offered almost no cushioning. The back of the heel was stiff, almost like women's shoes. Also NO padding at the top of the back of the shoe under the ankle. I'm afraid it could cause blisters. I chose this style for a reason and as the size went up the quality went down. While my son (7 years old and on the autism spectrum) is enjoying his new shoes I am a little disappointed.
