I bought these for my 5 yr. old Autistic non-verbal grandson who is very particular about the look and or feel of his shoes and clothes due to sensory issues and he also has wide feet. These shoes are the only style that he likes and they fit him perfectly because the style is wider than the other styles of athletic shoes. I wasted $75 on the last pair I purchased because he wouldn't even put them on, he literally threw a screaming fit. These shoes are a winner!
Ordered for my daughter 2nd grader, her older brother had them last year in 3rd grade, and they held up until he finally grew out of them. Most importantly, they both agree they are very comfortable and easy to put on. Would buy again
