So far they have held up and my son has a HEAVY tolerance for shoes. I would definitely buy them again. However, I got it mixed up with the size. My 11 year old son wears a 5.5 so I bought 6. They call it 6 years. 6 years is too much for me and I wear 6.5 in women's fashion. So I bought the 5y.5y fits me perfectly! But they are full size too big for my son. My son loves them so much he still wears them and grows up in them so its ok. I think the size corresponds to men's shoes.

I really wanted to like these shoes but for some reason they smell awful. I don't have a problem with smelly feet and I have shoes that I've worn for years that barely smell and smell horrible after the first day and my feet stink too. I have to constantly powder them at night to absorb the stench because now, in a pandemic, it's impossible to buy a normal pair of shoes. They're comfortable, but they just smell terrible. I also often notice that the soles creak when walking.
