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

Yes. They are slip-ons with elastic laces, so there is nothing to tie. Kids slide them on and off on their own.

No. The upper has a water-repellent treatment that sheds light splashes, but the shoe is not waterproof. Standing water and puddles will get through.

Can the insole be removed?

Yes. The foam insole is removable, so you can take it out to clean or dry the shoe, or replace it.

It is quicker to put on and lighter, but a laced sneaker gives more adjustability and support for rough play.

One pair of shoes with the removable foam insoles in place. No extra laces are needed since the elastic laces are fixed.

Most owners find the fit true to size, though some with narrow feet say they feel a little loose. The stretch upper accommodates wider feet.
