In general, we love these shoes for our boys ages 6 and 5. They fit nicely with or without a sock and have great flexibility and traction. As would be expected, they are not warm enough for wearing in the winter. There are two downsides. First, the silver part of the shoe is not actually material, it is paint. It doesn't last as long as one would expect it to for dropping $60 on a pair of shoes. I wish they would either eliminate the silver part entirely or make it better quality by actually being material. The first pair my eldest son owned had one shoe with the silver paint all worn off within the first month of wearing them, and the other shoe had it partially missing. So the shoes didn't look as nice as they should have for $60. Second, these shoes do NOT easily dry off. The advertising I recall says that they dry quickly...they don't. Not even in direct sunlight. It usually takes a good day for them to dry off if we put them outside after playing in the water. I think these shoes would be a better bargain if the above were improved upon OR if the price was lowered to say $45 a pair.
All that said, they are great outdoor play shoes for the spring, summer, and fall. My son has learned to climb trees like a monkey in these shoes because they offer adequate protection and traction while also giving his foot the flexibility it needs to climb.

I bought these for my clumsy boy. He was hating school last year because he was always falling and couldn't run as fast as the other kids. This summer he mentioned that he can run faster barefoot so I grudgingly decided to give these a try. They're so expensive! So far, they have made a world of difference for his self esteem and will hopefully cut down on the awful hip bruises he was coming home with. I LOVE THESE SHOES! THEY ARE SO WORTH THE MONEY!

It's a very flexible shoe, exactly what I was looking for but it's not made for wide and chunky feet!
