Love these shoes!! My 3-year-old is a classic energetic little boy with a slightly wide foot. These have been perfect for him. He even commented on how much he liked them when we first bought them. He wears them nearly every day. They're great quality and easy for him to put on with the velcro strap. I'm considering buying them in the next size up, they've been that great.

I bought 2 pairs of these for my boys and the Velcro on both sets stopped working right around 2 months. They can’t wear them because they fall right off their feet. I will say dsw customer service was great but I would not recommend these shoes.

These are a “wide” shoe, which may be true, but as a whole I feel like they run small. Or maybe they just need to get broken in. But I sized up for my toddler and replaced his old New Balance shoes (different style) with these ones and they feel small. I’ve purchased these before for one of my now older kids and the Velcro strap didn’t hold up so I’m hoping for better results this time!

Velcro doesn’t last long, shoe is comfortable and durable but velcro didn’t last long unfortunately.

Velcro lasted barely 2 months! Not worth the money

These toddler sneakers are a fantastic choice for little feet. They’re incredibly comfortable and flexible, allowing natural movement while still offering the support toddlers need as they run, climb, and explore. The traction is excellent—perfect for busy playground days where slips and falls are always a concern. They stay secure during active play and seem well-made for everyday wear. My only minor drawback is the Velcro strap; I wish there were a loop on the tongue for the strap to thread through, which would provide a more snug and supportive fit. Overall, still a five-star pick!

DO NOT BUY! Bought these less than a month ago, Velcro stopped working after about 2 weeks. What a rip off, waste of $50!

These shoes are great however the Velcro goes almost instantly. They were falling off my son‘s feet less than 20 days.

These shoes have a Velcro defect! The straps stop working after a short period and the shoes are unwearable. Since it’s over 90 days, the store will not give me store credit or a refund. Absolutely ridiculous when the shoe clearly has a defect! Customer service online was no help and neither was the local store. They clearly don’t stand behind their products.

Comfortable shoes my toddler loved them! Unfortunately they only lasted 3 months before the Velcro stopped working. I’ve tried multiple ways to fix it but it’s just not good quality of Velcro now he won’t wear them because the straps don’t stay for even a few steps

Loved them at first. After three weeks of moderate use, the Velcro was completely useless. The shoes kept slipping off my son's feet because the straps wouldn't stay down. Thankfully, I was able to return them. Very disappointed in this purchase.

They looked and felt comfortable for my son but they only lasted 2 months before the velcro stopped sticking. Not worth the price for being poor quality.

Perfect for my very active 18 month old. He keeps them on and hasn’t complained about them at all.
