I bought these shoes for my son who is 9 years old because most other players wear them and Nike is a good brand. After 9-10 socks for 2 months they look awful and my son is not particularly picky about sneakers - look at the ankle pads/holes that have holes. We have a pair of New Balance sneakers that he wears every day (bought around the same time) and they don't look like it! Bad production. And the fit is too small - he's a size 3 in all other shoes but a size 4 in these boots. I'll probably buy them again because they're not expensive, but I consider them disposable in 1-2 months.
