I’ve found these are my favorite type of shoes of all the shoes my kiddos have worn.
I hate those kind!!!
They don't dry well when wet, the holes allow the pea gravel/mulch to get inside them, and since they pull tighter with the strap, some kids have a hard time getting them on and off.
Bc- I'm with you on shoes. I would rather put the initial work in up front. Easy on means the kids can manage them (or should be able to) I LOVE sneakers. Unfortunately not a single kid in the last 3 years has been able to manage tying their own, and this is because parents don't bring sneakers with laces. Always velcro straps, or those new ones with no straps, just laced stretchy material.
