Weird question, but my 10 year old drags his feet and badly overpronates due to his hypotonia. As a result he wears through shoes very, very quickly. Has anyone found any shoes they can recommend?

Buy cheap and buy often. As a kid I normally did not wear shoes outside of school unless my parents took me somewhere. I remember stubbing my toes all the time. I survived OK, and as a teenager I had awesome calluses that could withstand stickers. (cactus still hurt)

Hard soles with the least aggressive grip patterns so they can slide instead of trying to grab the ground can last a little longer. They don't last long for me either. I often just put up with the holes for a month or two.
