My son, the destroyer of shoes, likes these.
My son absolutely destroys shoes. Despite my best efforts to scare him with awful or bad shoes, the end results is often the same. Thankfully, these are actually holding up a bit better than most others have. In short, Im very happy with these and I wouldn't have any issues going back to this brand in the future.What I like:Fit very well. My son says these are comfortable and hes had no issues.Look pretty good. I'd never heard of this brand before and prior to deciding on whether or not I was going to get these for my son I did a bit of research and one thing that jumped out at me was that they have physical locations in California.Function. I like the strings and velcro combination. Might just be a sign of the times but my son is 10 and cant tie his shoes. I dont blame him. So, having the velcro makes it easy for him to handle.Soles. Im typically apprehensive about the durability and quality of the soles of brands that Im not familiar with. Thankfully these have held up pretty well. They are a bit soft but that's due to the nature of the shoe being designed for running. Despite the softness, they seem to be holding up well.Overall I'm pretty happy with these. For the price these are fantastic shoes. I personally don't like the styling and limited color options however, you cant really go wrong with black and gold and these don't do anything to offend.

Perfect Everyday Sneakers for My Toddler
I really love this brand and these black TARANIS sneakers are another great pair for my toddler. He is rough on shoes and constantly on the move, and these have held up surprisingly well. They are very lightweight and breathable, which helps a lot because his feet get sweaty easily. These are one of the few shoes that do not end the day smelling terrible.The fit is comfortable and secure so he can run, climb, and jump without the shoes slipping. They still feel flexible enough for natural movement. The black color has been a huge plus for us because it goes with everything and hides dirt after a full day at the park. The mesh material keeps his feet cool, and the rubber sole has good grip so I do not worry when he takes off on a slick surface.They are also easy to put on and take off, which makes getting out the door much faster with a toddler who is not usually cooperative during shoe time. Overall, this is another reliable pair from TARANIS. They are durable, comfortable, and perfect for an active toddler.

Great shoes, will last many seasons.
These sneakers are really nice and unisex for your toddler. They’re super easy to wear take on and off and out great for multiple seasons. I like that the logo is subtle and it seems that there’s a lot of support. I also like that this product comes in a shoebox for storage. And the best part is you don’t see it if Some scuffs or dirt get on this particular shoe. It seems that the sneaker is comfortable and the sizing is not bad. And on point. I definitely highly recommend shoes from this brand as they seem to be sturdy and definitely made well.

Perfect for the picky shoe buyer
Ordered for my 10 year old who has started going running in the morning with my husband. Buying shoes for her has always been a hassle and usually ends in tears. I did not have high hopes for these, but boy was I wrong! She loves the shoes and wears them without complaint. According to her they are comfortable, and they seem to be well made and high quality. Color me very impressed!
