Front porches, family cars, playgrounds, swimming pools: from such familiar haunts of childhood, these stories look out on the world through young eyes and hearts. Wise beyond their years--or soon to be--Ruthie, Omar, J.J., and the other kids in these stories veer in and out of touching distance to hard lessons about trust, love, and mortality. However engaged or aloof, grownups are always nearby. Far-from-perfect emissaries to the realm of adulthood, they pose questions for children even as they offer answers.

Most comfortable shoes, right out of the box!
Size: 8.5, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
Oh my! So, my ordering of shoes online has been hit or miss - 1/2 size too big or too small; too wide or not wide enough. Enter these Marc Joseph shoes… such a game changer. They fit like a glove, exceptionally comfortable, and easy to slip in and out of. I like them so much that I am shopping for another pair. So far, the size, quality, fit, feel, look, and comfort make this pair my dedicated first pick. Btw, I have been wearing them for six hours and they are still very comfortable! I highly recommend these shoes.

Worth the money
Size: 11, Color: Tan Faux Leather
Ok these shoes are not Farragamo shoes. They are a little more footballish in texture, but they are very decent quality and they fit actual size. Wore them to drive 6 hours and they were comfortable and didn’t make my feet sweat. Later I wore them out walking bc around town and although the don’t have rigid soles, they were quite supportive and easy to walk In. I just wanted basic shoes that didn’t have plastic looking leather. I would purchase these again but note they are not Farragamo.
