I got nice new shoes with no holes in them, feel like it was a good purchase that will last me a couple years as that is how long it takes me to ruin shoes. But yeah I had to get size 5 in kids because I have small feet...luckily the store zumiez usually has at least a couple pairs I can chooose from when I need shoes...so anyways I bought shoes and I am glad not to walk around with some with holes in them.
