I am sorry to report this about a Mountain Warehouse item (I haven't had a problem with their stuff before) but these are really poor quality shoes.
They look nice and they appear to be of good quality and my son and I were very pleased with them when they arrived. However, the rubber sole wore down much too quickly, wrecking the shoe in under six weeks of regular wear. See my photo below. This is a photo of the worst shoe, but the other is also going the same way. My son doesn't usually wreck shoes - he grows out of them and then passes them down to his younger brother in reasonable condition. But this pair will be going straight in the bin. I definitely would not buy again or recommend this item to anyone.

How To Choose Walking Shoes
Selecting the right footwear often comes down to personal preference, but generally you should consider:
- Terrain: How harsh or challenging is the environment? Is the ground uneven?
- Comfort & Fit: Level of mobility vs. support?
- Climate & Likely Weather: Wet, dry, or changeable?
Walking Shoes are a lightweight option compared to many walking boots. They are great for flatter / less challenging terrain. More versatile and flexible than boots, they are a good option when being more nimble is helpful or when you don't want to carry a change of footwear.
Walking Boots are often preferred for more challenging terrain or poor weather, as they can offer superior ankle support which can reduce the risk of twists, strains or sprains.
Bearing these factors in mind will help you to make the best choice for your adventure.

Only one week and a half to go before summer break but I have to buy new ones.
Poor, poor quality. Didn't last more than 3 months
By Florence on 15 July 2017
I bought these for my son for school as they seem to be light and breathable and reasonably priced. They got delivered fine. No problem with the seller. However the quality of the shoes is very poor. We're now mid July and admittedly my son wore the shoes every at school but it's only been three months and I had to bin them. The rubber at the front disappeared like snow in the sun and now one of the shoes is so breathable that I can see the toes through.By Florence on 15 July 2017
