These are nice looking shoes - But, they do not stay tight on the child’s foot with the straps. Each step my son’s foot would come out of the shoe and they DID fit.

Cute little shoe - I purchased this shoe for my 8 year old son. They are really cute to me but cool to him, because of the skull and the skater vibe to them. They really fit him well, and again they look adorable on him!

Kids love this shoe! My son absolutely loves these shoes. We haven’t seen them in stores around here and a number of people have stopped to admire them and ask where we purchased them. They are too cute!

Really nice looking sneakers. My sons wear sneakers every day. They hate shoes, so these are nice enough for daily use. They love the skulls and think they are so cool when they wear them. I also bought athletic sneakers for gym days. Not sure these are up to athletic activities.

These rain boots are similar to the discontinued Coach boots I've been trying to find for a few years now. I take a 7-7.5 and the size 7's fit great with plenty of room. I have slim calves and I just wish that these were more narrow (with less material) in the calf area. They look stylish and I can't wait to wear them in the rainy weather! They will look great with rolled jeans, shorts and skirts. Very stylish rain boots!

Great shoe, great service - This shoe is just as expected. Fits better than other Skechers we've purchased in the past and looks good also.

Cool shoes! I bought these shoes for my 6 year old and he was so excited when he saw them because they have the "z" strap closure. They seem to run a bit wide and he had trouble closing them tight enough at first but he's doing fine now that I showed him how to push the tongue down so the strap would fasten tighter. They are the only shoes he wants to wear so in my opinion they are well worth the money!

This shoe rocks - I love this shoe. My 2 year old is able to put them on and take them off by himself. I love that the straps don't come out of the shoe. I would definitely recommend this shoe, and will get them in the next size up when my son needs them.

These shoes have a nice amount of room in the toe box, and great arch support. They are relatively lightweight, also. They have reflective parts which are nice. They seem to run a bit large. I usually wear an 8, and a 7 1/2 was plenty big. The quality is excellent. I plan to wear them on a walking tour in Europe, this Fall.

Would buy another at another time. I bought several running shoes to try out through Zappos and am sending this one back. However, it was an excellent shoe. Very cushioned and nice lacing system. I just chose a Mizuno running shoe as that was more attuned to what I was looking for. However, I might repurchase this shoe later for a more comfort oriented running shoe rather than performance later (however, I cannot accurately judge full performance as I didn't run in them).

These sneakers have an easy fit and get more comfortable as I wear them. I use them for aerobic workouts in the gym and for walking around town. I can wiggle my toes and don't find them heavy to wear like some sneakers made expressly for exercise. The treads hold on trail hikes as well. High recommendation!

I bought these shoes to train for a hike in the Grand Canyon. They were comfortable right out of the box. My first warm up hike was 7 miles and I had no problem at all. They are light, but sturdy.

One terrific shoe. I'm on my second pair. Light and comfy, and love that quick-release tie. My all time favorite shoe other than my old Converse high tops.

I normally love Salomon shoes and since I work for a Delivery company, I'm up and down in my truck all day and needed a sturdy shoe to keep up with me. I chose this one for the cushion, rugged sole and quick lace system. However, the left shoe seems to already have lost its arch support! They also seem to fit wider then the other Salomon trail runners I have (XA Pro and GTX version), which makes me lace them as tight as I can. This may have exacerbated the arch issue. Unfortunately, since I've worn them, I'm not sure I'll be able to return them- kinda a waste of $100 sum for normally a reputable shoe company. If you're on the move all day and are stuck on Salomon, I'd pick an alternate style.

I like Salomon because of their fit. The arch support always hits in the right place and there's plenty of room in the toe box. I know the shoes are comfortable because I don't even think about my feet while wearing them. This model seems slightly big and the tongue comes up higher than my other pair. Otherwise, they're great.

This is a great shoe. Good structure while still being flexible enough to run in. In my case, it rubbed at my ankle a bit so required some breaking in and socks that cover my ankle.

Perfect for work, walking, casual and running. Fits true to size. Easy on/off with the elastic/pull tag laces. One of the most comfortable running shoes I have had straight out of the box in years. Fits my narrow heel well.

I can't sing the praises of these shoes enough! I've tried a zillion different shoes/brands and these are by far my favorite. I street run, trail run, gym run and strength train and I never thought a shoe that doesn't even feel like it's touching your foot could be so supportive. No sore joints or muscles. My Salomon's actually motivate me to work out!
