We have been rebuying this shoe for our three kids each summer for several years (they grow out of the previous year’s pair). It’s the perfect summer shoe. They can play in the creek, ride bikes with protected toes, play on the playground etc. they are comfortable enough to survive multiple days at an amusement park in and make riding water rides better (no soggy tennis shoes). They even work for going back to school in the warm months. They have held up to every day use and gotten us through the season. They wash well in the washing machine occasionally as needed.
