My son is very particular about his shoes and clothing. Everything has to be comfortable or he will refuse to wear it. He needed a nice shoe to wear with dress pants. I saw these and they looked perfect. The suede is vey soft and the tongue has cushioning for extra comfort. He tried them on and said they were perfect. I ordered size down. He wears a size 5 in his Nike sneakers and I ordered these in a size 4. They fit perfectly. They are easy to get on and off and look great!!You get what you pay for!! I can either dish out $20 for a pair of shoes or $65. And it makes a difference. My son LOVES the comfort of these shoes. They are soft and sturdy. And they look super sleek too!!cute and comfy . definitely not the best quality as far as material goes . but good for a five year old to wear a few times to special occasionsOkay so these are super cute and I love them ! The only thing is they run really small so make sure to order a size upI'm an adult wearer of these shoes. They are very soft and do not require break-in, quite comfortable. My only advice is to buy insoles, as their is no arch support.They are really comfy. I like how they have no arch in the shoe. They are a bit heavy. I wore them all day at a festival and I liked them. The laces did come untied a bit often. My mom thinks they are really handsome.Lindsay, age 12I love these shoes for my 13 year old son. The are soft and comfortable. They are dressy enough to wear with a suit and casual enough to wear with jeans and a nice, button down shirt.My son was very happy with them!I bought these for my son a month ago. He hasn't worn them in the mud but he has in the rain and they haven't changed at all. However, I will spray them with protective spray before winter. They are well made and very comfortable (so he says!) I like the orange soles. A good buy.Need to buy a bigger size for wider foot.Such a shame as these looked like great little boots but they were disappointing as not cut high enough for my sons foot to fit into the boot.
