these cost just under $18 when i bought them. I purchased these boots for a cabin/camping 10 day vacation in rocky forest terrain. I just needed something easy to put on that covered my rambunctious boys feet and ankles To last the trip but wow! These are alot tougher and nicer that i ever expected! They have a nice lining and are sewed and glued really well. My kid totally abused them and it took several days of kicking big rocks, running through mud and getting them soaked in lakes and rivers before they started to show the wear. So yes, they are scuffed now, only 3wks later, but I'm totally pleased with the quality and durability. They are my son's favorite shoes now cuz they are so easy for him to get on and off. I wish they came in black. I'd buy another pair cuz they look rather dressy when they are new and kept nicer. Worth it.These seem to be a good boot for the money (I paid around $11.00). They are better quality than I expected. My son hasn't worn them yet but I am sure he will love them. They are a dark brown color. I suspect they will show scuffs and marks easily but I think they will serve their purpose especially for the price.The boots fit pretty good and seem good quality although they scuffed up a lot with 2 days of wear and the price was a little high and it's gone up since I purchased them 4 weeks agoThey run a little large, but my son has been wearing them to a barn 4 days a week, around 20 hours a week and there is not even a scuff on them. He runs around in them all day and says they are comfortable and then wears them to for his riding lessons. We are going on week 3 of wearing them, so far so good.We ordered size 11 in small boy sizes. A sticker on the bottom of the boot & the box said 11 but the tag inside the boot said 12. Needless to say, they are a size too big but will work for the wedding & we can put them up for this fall.The boots are very comfortable and my son really likes them. The finish did scuff off in a couple places on the toe after the first wear, so not the greatest faux leather quality, but not bad for the price.Very nice and worth the extra money. Good for fat footed kiddos.My son loves these boots.
