These shoes do have a couple of issues but are still very functional. First, the loop at the end of the drawstring on the right shoe has been cut. Still works great...just don't take it all the way to the bottom. Second, both of the pull loops on the back have been cut. Lastly, the neoprene padding on the right shoe has been cut. Lesson here; don't get your son a new knife when you go camping. Anyhow, the shoes are still very functional and clean. Item is cross posted. Hiking Shoes, Go Camping, Hiking Boots, Sandals, Boots
