This is my 5-yr-old's favorite sneaker brand. When he doesn't need boots or sandals, he always has a pair like this as the only shoes he wears every day. They're sturdy while flexible and keep looking good and holding up for a long time. They fit true-to-size and consistently across all the times I've ordered them in the last few years, so I sometimes buy a size bigger of his favorite style to stash in the closet. Only once has he worn out a pair before growing out of them, and that took more than 6 months of daily wear at school and on playgrounds.Between this newest rainbow pair and the shiny silver leather high-top style that were his previous few pairs, my kid always gets compliments on his shoes and runs around comfortably every day.
