I loved these shoes when they showed up on our doorstep. My son loved that they light up. However, it wasn't a week before the red on the cat started to wear off and the material all around the shoes started showing terrible wear. All my son was doing was going to school and back home with them. I didn't let him wear them to play outside since they were so expensive. Extremely disappointed in the quality. They just don't hold up. After a month or two, I tossed them because I was too embarrassed to let my son wear them they looked so bad. He's worn plenty of other tennis shoes without having a problem, so I know it's not just him treating them poorly.
