I got these for my little and I absolutely love them. Its hard to pick out shoes for him because he has a wide foot and most high tops or stretchy laces don't work well for us. Its a lot more work to put them on. These are great because the are Velcro and they open wide. I love that it also has the pull tab in the back as this makes it even easier to slip on. So far my son enjoys wearing these until he learns how Velcro works !
