These boots are amazing. My son loves them we bought them just before a trip to cold Boston. He can easily pull them on and off by himself. And he said they are so comfy he wore them all over the city. And when we got home begged to wear them to school on a rainy day. This child only ever likes sneakers. And it saves me time from laces up difficult boots on my child. The handles are perfect. Wish i had these when he was even younger.
