Are these good for kids who can't tie laces yet?

Yes. They use bungee laces and a slip-on entry, so no tying is needed. Kids can pull them on themselves.

Do they run true to size?

Most buyers find them true to size. Some report a narrow fit, so wide feet may need to size up.

Can they be worn for sports?

They work for recess and light play. The thin cushioning and simple outsole are not built for organized sports.

Are they machine washable?

The mesh upper can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them and avoid the dryer, which can warp the outsole.

What is the closure system?

A bungee lace system with a slip-on opening. It is fixed rather than adjustable like standard laces.

No. The breathable mesh upper lets water through, so they are best for dry conditions.

Our take on the Athletic Works Little & Big Boy Cage Athletic 2.0 Sneaker

The Athletic Works Cage Athletic 2.0 is a kids' slip-on athletic sneaker with bungee laces, a breathable mesh upper and a lightweight outsole with TPR pods for durability. It is built for easy on and off, so younger kids can put it on themselves. It suits everyday play, school and recess better than a lace-up shoe, though it gives up some adjustability. Against typical kids' athletic shoes, it leans on convenience and a light feel rather than cushioning or support for serious sport.
