I bought them for my son. He is 13 years old, wears them every day, and the shoes literally take a beating. I haven't heard him complain in the 2 months he's been wearing them, and after a light cleaning, they look like new.

Changing the rating... Minus 2 stars because in the 2 and a half months, we had to buy another pair of shoes. The loops that the laces go through ripped on both shoes, turning them into slippers. The body of the shoe didn't suffer any damage, but if you can't tie them, they're useless.
