The shoes is very well made but the leather is too hard and the sneaker is very narrow at the front for my 6 year old son. I tried stretching it before he wore it but every time I put it on he would complain that it was uncomfortable. I wanted something sturdy for my son since I bought a pair of K-swiss before and they lasted for years...  but he cannot wear these. I'm going to have to sell them and get him something else.
