My 12 year old son seems to grow 1/2 size every 4-5 months and has a wide foot (we call it brick toes). It's hard to find shoes that are wide enough for your feet, adidas and Nike don't work. This is his sixth pair of this particular shoe and there are so many because he's outgrowing them quickly. I am satisfied with the comfort, the size and the price. He wears them as his main shoe and they hold up well to all the sports he does daily, breaks and exercise.
