I ordered these shoes for my two sons and I have to say that now (after 5 weeks) the sole is quite broken. The lower part of the sole may peel off. There are individual squares that are stuck under the white sole and unfortunately these all go with and lost. This is apparently not an isolated case, as it is with my two sons. Otherwise, the shoes are comfortable and easy and you pull my sons also to love what by the elastic band and the velcro and is quick and easy.
