My son likes these a lot, even at 7 he is aware of style! They are comfortable and he can wear them running around playing basketball, biking, at PE, etc. I'm not super happy with the quality, though. After only a month of use, they look pretty beat up, the suede is turning gray, and the shoelaces broke within the first couple of weeks. He does wear them hard, though, but what 7 year old doesn't? If this shoe would be one of a few different pairs in rotation and it was going to be mostly indoor use, I'd recommend, but if your kid is going to be running around outside with them, I'd recommend a different shoe. We'd been faithful Keen buyers for years, and I'm going to go back to that for the fall despite the price.My son and I both love these shoes. I am happy I found them at such a great price. They match with anything as that's why I bought them. They are a good fit too. Will buy another pair for the summer.My daughter loves it. Only thing because of the material they're made of they scuff quicker. But the price makes it worth the small inconvenience.The greatest two paris of shoes of all-time:Adidas Superstar II and CampusNow my two boys and I rock them together to the store in the grocery getter. That's right, I drive a mini-van. What of it?Black color faded after only wearing a few times :/Love these shoes! My son is very tough on shoes going through a pair every month, but these hold up longer than any other brand so far. Amazon has such great deals thankfully so I can actually afford buying them.As expected... Very good quality shoe. Just wish I ordered a size up.Nice shoes!!!
