Austin my 7YO loves his school shoes, he has told me how comfortable they are and showed my family his new shoes as he was so proud of them. He is very rough on the playground due to playing soccer & chasings with his school shoes on but they are still in perfect condition. I have bought other brands in the past which cost $50-$70 per pair and my son goes through 2-3 pairs per year and they don’t last but after purchasing the quality of Comme Les Grands school shoes I would not buy anything else, at least I know they will last. My daughter is starting school next year and I will definitely invest in a pair and recommend them to all my friends.
