My son says they are comfortable, and they have held up for a couple months. Just what I was looking for - a cheap, decently durable, kid sneakerMy child loves running anywhere and everywhere. These shoes fit him great with a little room to grow. We replaced the shoelaces with stretchy ones. I've put this pair in a laundry bag and run it through the washing machine (no agitator and air dry) once so far and they continue to hold up fine.The quality of these shoes is good and they fit true to size. They are comfortable for my son and seem reasonably durable. However, the current price of almost $40 seems a bit too high. That price point is similar to what you can find good options from Nike, Adidas, New Balance, and Asics for. No offense to Avia, which is a decent mid-tier brand, but if I'm choosing between products priced similarly, I would typically pick the option from the bigger more reputable brand. The Avia option would be more attractive to me if there were some savings. If these were priced in the $25-$30 range, I would give them 5 stars.The laces on these are super long. So long that my 8 year had already walked all over the ends of the laces (tied and double knotted) and the plastic end that stops them from fraying came off. I had to knot the end of the lace to stop it from unraveling. Other than that they have been good shoes, fit true to size and my son likes the colors.These shoes fit true to size. My son says they are comfortable. They seem durable and like they will last.These kids sneakers are quality made! They have a soft and thick sole that is comfortable for little feet. There is a strap on the heel of the shoe to assist with pulling on. The shoe laces are long enough to do double knots.These are great sneakers. I really wanted sneakers with a velcro closure for my 4 year old since they are easy enough for him to put on and off by himself. With these lace up sneakers, I simply tied them up and double knotted them to make them slip-ons. They work great. They are well crafted which is evident the way my little one runs around on the playground or on trails. They provide a lot of stability, great traction, and he has never complained of foot pain. Would order again.i got these for my son for school. he was in need of a new pair of shoes and these looked really nice. i ended up buying him 1 size bigger than he normally wears, and that still wasn't enough. they were still way too small for him, to the point that his toes were pushed all the way to the end of the shoes. there is no way he can wear these comfortably.
