We got these for our 9 year-old son and they are perfect. The plastic soles are just thick enough to provide support, but not so thick that they are like tennis shoes. The Velcro strap keeps them in place and makes them easy for him to put on independently. The upper mesh is double-layered, but still super breathable. They dry really fast. I would definitely purchase these again.
