text: IN strictly visual appeal,  these are a 5 , but I gave them a 3 because my little boy can't see to keep them on for more than a couple hours and complained that they hurt everytime he put them on,. Witht that said, that means these are a waste of money. They do feel really hard inside and he has shown me where they hurt but theres nothing I can do to  resolve it so they are new shoes that he won't be able to wear. Good luck if you biy them.
