Are these good everyday shoes for kids?

Yes. They are light, cushioned and easy to pull on, which suits school days and casual play. They are not built for heavy sports or wet weather.

Do kids need to tie them?

No. The elastic bungee laces hold the shoe on without tying, so kids can slip them on and off themselves.

Yes. The memory foam footbed is removable and can go in the washing machine. Let it air dry before putting it back.

It is lighter and faster to put on, but a laced sneaker gives a more adjustable fit and more support for running and sports.

The pair of shoes with elastic bungee laces and the removable memory foam footbed already fitted.

They generally run true to size, but the slip-on shape fits a little roomy, so narrow feet may feel loose.
