I have a VERY active 9 year old boy. We live in the mountains and spend a lot of time outdoors. They were hiking shoes, water boots, golf shoes, camping shoes, casual shoes - all kinds of shoes. I bought his first pair on September 2nd, 2020. Since then he wears them EVERYWHERE, almost EVERY DAY. The only reason I'm replacing them is because his foot grew 2 sizes. We bought every well-known shoe brand. We've spent HUNDREDS of dollars on name brand sneakers and THESE are my son's favorite shoes…

I bought this for my 4 year old who is almost 5 now and is growing like weeds. He tends to wear shoes like crazy and is very picky about shoes and has wider feet. The neck of the shoe or whatever you put your foot in is stretchy unlike other shoes where it's stiff and you have to tuck your toe in the back to pull it up. This made it easier to put on baby shoes2. The material of the shoe is nice in general, it's nice but not really mesh-like or stiff, allowing my little man's feet to slip out if
