My nephew was really looking forward to these shoes but when we got them they ended up being laced not strapped.Not only was this terribly inconvenient for the four year old and very disappointing but the school doesn’t even except laces in the dress code.Our friend was supposed to deliver it overseas to my nephew but by the time we found out it was too late!We aren’t even able to return it.The kids really liked the style and bright green color! Definitely cute little shoes for the price...
