Love! My son has worn these shoes since August and they are just now starting to get worn out and a bit small. Love this brand...only brand I will buy from now on. Probably our 5th pair and they last forever, grow with the foot.

All 3 of my boys have these shoes. They call them Spiderman shoes because of the colors. We love Tsukohoshi shoes! They are incredibly washable (my boys love mud), they wear well even though my kids are really rough on them, and the pair my older son wears is always in good enough condition to get handed down to his twin brothers. They are sturdy enough to be worth the rather high price tag. And best of all, they are vegetarian, which is important for us!

This is my son's 5th pair of Tsukihoshi. We love them! This one resembles Spider Man (or Captain America as his teacher pointed out) and is his current favorite. I find these shoes very durable, light, easy to take on and off, and they fit well. I love that he is comfortable running in them and they aren't too stiff. Machine washing makes them look just like new - great for any kids who inherit his old shoes. I've bought Stride Rite, Umi, Gap, Croc, Reebok - but I keep coming back to this brand. It always ends up our favorite. Wish more came in orange!

I got these for my three year old boy and he LOVES them. He would not wear any other sneakers any more. I like the fact that they are so light and well made. He has high arch, so I need to make sure he is comfortable, and he is. Easy to clean, too.

These were our second pair of this brand and we were very disappointed. They basically fell apart, I've never used so much shoe goo in my life. The rubber sole wasn't bonding to the synthetic polished leather and kept coming off and the red rubber on the sole kept coming apart. Would not recommend these shoes.

We have had great luck with Tsukihoshis, and this pair was no exception. My five-year-old son likes them and has no problem putting them on himself, and they have held up very well over the past few months, including a number of washings. He is just now growing out of them, and they still look great.

I bought these for my 6 year old who has wide feet based on the reviews. They didn't look wide, and they certainly didn't fit wide. The toe box on these is narrower than what you'd find on a shoe like Keens. Too bad too because my kid thought they were super cool.

These have got to be the most comfortable shoes I've ever own. I'm on my feet all day and they are amazing. I'm going to get them in every color.

At first I wasn't sure since the heel slipped a bit on my narrow foot, but I really like them now and they seem true to size and as pictured -- very pretty!

Super cute shoes. Unfortunately the sides bulged out when I took a step. May be due to overall size. Thanks Zappos for the option to return and shop some more. You guys are the best.

I love these shoes! They're dressy enough to wear with pant suits or long skirts and tights but you can walk all day without pain. The pointed toe is flattering, but the toe box is roomy enough to be comfortable. I am ordering other colors!

I ordered these shoes in the narrow width. I have an extremely narrow foot, and after wearing these out one time, the shoes stretched and are now too wide. I have had to use 2 pairs of insoles in the ball of the area and they are still wide. Too late for me to return them as I have now worn them outside. I wouldn't order these again since I have such a narrow foot. Still appreciate Zappos & love the no shipping & their return policy.

Cute loafer with a pointed toe that is not too pointy. Super cute. Only complaint would be the leather is not thick so the sides tend to bulge out when you walk. Not horrible, just not high quality.

These shoes are cute and the color was great but Naturalizer does not know what a "narrow" shoe is. Way too wide. I will return these and not order Naturalizers anymore.

I have worn Naturalizers for 30 years. This last year I have not been able to get a comfortable fit. Someone has changed the sizing that they use. Returning my shoes. I'm very sad..I was always able to rely on this brand for a good fit.
