Bit pricey but managed to get them on sale and I don’t regret a penny. Elastic fit laces are useful but probably still not as easy to put on a wriggly toddler as a easy-open Velcro strap ones from a competitor. Look the part, great quality on shoes as always, highly recommend for your kids if they come back into stock. Sole is cushioned but flat so wee one very stable on feet when running around compared to other trainers
