I really liked these shoes as they were the first in a long time that my 14 year old son found comfortable and loved the active lifestyle. He has flat feet and needs good support and has grown nearly 4 inches this year. Unfortunately, these nearly $100 shoes fell apart in just 2 months. There are cracks near the toes and the sole is separating from the main part of the shoe. I don't expect his shoes to last forever but 6 months - a year would be nice. Come on Mizuno, you can do better!
