Brooking Kids Classic Court Sneaker - Smokey Blue Textile and Suede

My son usually fights me on shoes but he slid right into these without a word. The suede and textile upper has held up great after a month of playground abuse, and the breathable lining keeps his feet from getting sweaty.

The elastic laces are a lifesaver since my daughter still can't tie her own shoes properly. She wore them for a full day at the zoo and never once complained about her feet hurting, which never happens with new shoes. The suede on the toe has held up fine so far too.

My son refuses to take these off, even at bedtime. The elastic laces make getting them on a breeze, and the suede and textile combo has held up through a week of playground battles without a scuff in sight.
