I ordered these shoes as a second pair of shoes that he could have in order to run in at wrestling practice.  They do a fair amount of running before the actual wrestling, and he can only wear his &#34;mat&#34; shoes on the mat.  I also didn't want him wearing out his school shoes (which cost a good bit more than these).  These seem to be an adequate second pair for him.  They don't seem to be as well-made as some of the higher end running shoes, but for the price they seem adequate.  We love the bright/bold colors.
