We’ve gone through a lot of shoes for my kids. The pair we bought before these were name brand and should have lasted till next summer (size wise they were adjustable) the soles flattened and the seams let go lasted two months for name brand!I was skeptical buying these but I will purchase them again for my kid. He has gotten a good deal of wear out of them and they look exactly like they did when we purchased them. The stitching is holding and the bottom of the shoe still has its tread. Nothing is falling off and the shoe still has its shape.
