These shoes are exactly what you would expect.  I got them for my 6 year old son and they run true to size.  Like most character sneakers they don't feel as sturdy as the running shoes I get for myself,  but he says they are really comfortable.  He's worn them for a week or so at this point and no blisters. I can't speak to how they will hold up, but he outgrows shoes pretty quickly at this point.
