Bought these for my son to fill the need for a dressier pair of shoes. 9 year olds love their
sneakers, so dress shoes are always a fight. He loves these shoes. He wears these instead of his
sneakers now, by choice. This may come as a shock to those with boys, but the first thing he did was check out the sole. They passed the "cool look and have great all terrain grip" test. They look great and make me happy.
