My child used these shoes for about 3 months. Since they had other shoes and we weren't going out much, I'm not concerned about wear and tear on the soles, but there is some wear and tear from home cleaning due to the material. Also, the Velcro parts are a bit fuzzy. They were light and easy to put on! They might fit a child who wears 13.5cm shoes, as NIKE kids' shoes are a bit big. Shipping via Yu-packet Plus will cost about 550 yen for shipping and the box, so I'm sorry, but I can't offer a discount...
