text: I was disappointed with this purchase.  The shoes look great, but they are far narrower than any of my son's other pairs.  He has never complained about shoe width before.  With these, it seems as if the shoe tapers too much from the arch to the end, creating a space that makes his toes feel as if they're being pushed together.  Really hoping they will stretch with more use.  I would only order this brand for a child with a narrow foot.
