I have twin boys in first grade. They are hard on shoes. Structurally, this is a solid shoe. It has held up well under 6 months of use. I had the same problem as the reviewer above with the stretch laces which frayed quickly. But the shoes also come with regular laces which work fine. (I eventually replaced the North Face laces with triathalon lace which continue to hold up just fine). The sole has held together well.

It is far better than a lot of the junk sold as kids shoes.

Good Cross Country Shoe

I bought these for my 8 year old who is running Cross Country. He had another top brand last year and they didn't hold up to well. These North Face shoes are definitley holding up much better under all the running. I wish they had a little more lug to the sole. Not as much tread as I was hoping for for cross country running, but nearly there.

I would buy again.

I am buying these again

I bought these about a year ago for my 4 and 7 year old. They wear them daily for anything from school to basketball to hiking to playing in the stream. I've washed them amny times and they still look great. I'm buying another pair for my oldest because he has out grown the first pair. Well worth the money.

Good shoe, good value.

My son loves the shoe, he just wished that he did not have to tie the laces. The smaller sizes come in no-lace. He has been wearing them to school, and as a court shoe, and they are holding up well. They are a very good value for a good-quality shoe.

Good for everyday

My son absolutly loves these shoes. He likes the North Face brand, I like I didn't pay the North Face price. They look great for any occasion. The breath easily with each step so his feet don't sweet too much.

Comfy Fit!

excellent service and product provided by onlineshoes. These shoes meet my daughters demanding criteria for visual eye candy and performance oriented shoes. She is 6. Funny how quickly they grow up and cost so much money.

Great look!

I bought these for my son--he loves the look of them and they fit him just right. They're very easy for him to get on and off.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Save your money! I purchased these shoes for my 5 year old to wear to kindergarten and they lasted less 2 weeks before both lacing systems began to fray and come apart. About a week after that the rubber on the tips of both toes started to come unglued. A few weeks after that, I noticed the soles had began to wear at a rate I have never seen his shoes wear. I would consider that he was doing something to the shoes, but a pair of TNF trail running shoes that my 16 year old had over the summer only lasted 2 months before they had many of the same issues. I of course blamed that on the teenager...oooops, I was wrong, it was just a poorly constructed shoe just as these are. NO MORE TNF SHOES IN THIS FAMILY. Next time I will special order the XAs from Salomon.

Should have checked the reviews!

Bought these for my 8 year old and they are falling apart in less than two months of normal use. The tread is pealing away, the top is shredding, and the tread is nearly worn away. Don't waste your money, [...]

Just ok
