I bought these
Campers when my son's pair of
Jumping Jacks wore out. These are very cute and can be worn with
jeans or khaki's. They are very supple with one of the most comfortable, flexible footbeds I have seen in a
boy's shoe. The elastic shoelaces with lace-locks are an added plus since he'll be able to get his shoes on without any help (I for one, will be happy to see the
Velcro shoes go away). One caveat... they run LARGE. There was a huge difference in fit between the 12 (EU 30) and the 11.5 (EU 29). I originally purchased the size 12 to give him a bit of room to grow, but they were very large and fairly wide. But when I ordered an 11.5, they fit "too well" (less than a pinch between his big toe and the edge of the shoe) and he would have no room for growth. When
running around the house, he said the larger pair felt better on his feet. I opted for the size 12 and he's in a thicker
socks for now.
