This is the 3rd time I bought from Plae, and I love the comfort that my son is getting. He is very hyper and loves to climb and jump around but with cheap kid shoes such as walmart, target, and old navy, the designs are nice but has no support. With this shoes, Im actually saving money even though its a little more expensive, but they last longer. I always buy bigger shoes for my son grows every day. The shoes have a good bottom grip, easy strap ones, but when they get wet they stink later though easy and simple to wash. I bought a pair for my nephew and my bother and his wife loves them!
