My 7 year old likes these shoes. They are his "go to" shoes when we are rushing out the door. They are easy to get on and he says they're very comfortable. I did have to return them for a 1/2 size smaller than he usually wears. I also weather proofed them so they would look nice all season.
We've been purchasing these shoes for our girls (in a variety of colors) for the last few years. They are durable, comfortable, and long lasting. I also must add that shopping at Nordstrom.com is so easy. They have a great selection. I have also purchased 3 pairs of Merrell Women's boots (from Nordstrom). Very very attractive, comfortable, and again well made. Worth every penny!
