I often buy boys sneakers for myself since they are often cheaper than buying womens adult sneakers, and decided to give these a try.I bought these sneakers in red - the color is bright and the shoes overall seem to be a good quality. They are slightly snug, but not enough for me to want to go up another 1/2 size - I'm hoping that since they are a suede that they will stretch a bit with time. If I was buying them for a kid I probably would go up a 1/2 size. These are narrow and I would not recommend for someone with wide feet. For the most part they are comfortable, but don't expect a lot of arch support in a boys sneaker. The sole is a nice pattern - no slipping.
