text: Let me start with the plus side of this shoe. In the style department my 2 year old twins look retro and very cool in the shoe. The colors are bright and bold. They wear a toddler size 7 and it is not true to fit, I would say it is about a 6 1/2 or toddlers 6. If I had to do it over I would order one size up from true size. Now for the HUGE DOWN SIDES...the velcro on the tops of the shoes is on both sides....this causes issues with walking for the kids because the velcro can't hold the foot in the shoe as they take a natural step. It doesn't completely come undone ever time however I would say in the past two days they have worn them I have had to fix it more than 4 times each day per child....and that is with an easy walk. If they are running or jumping the velcro will not hold the foot in the shoe. The style is great but the velcro on both sides is a bad design and should just be on one side of the top in my opinion. But the Blue and Yellow styling is bold and killer.
