These shoes are nice! My son really likes them! We have to purchase Sperry’s or HeyDudes for school uniforms. Unfortunately, he ends up going through 3, sometimes 4 pairs of HeyDudes/year. They look nice, are comfortable, and not horribly priced, but they don’t ever seem to last through the wear and tear of a now 8th grader! I gave this pair 4 stars due to the fact that they’re still kind of pricey, even with a discount!
