These shoes are simple to slip on! They have laces to make it look like a typical sneaker and a Velcro strap to secure the shoe on the foot. My son wears gripper socks and we have no issue getting these off and on his feet. The bottom is a little slick and doesn’t have the best grip on some surfaces, but we use these for outside play mostly. The bottom and sole are easy to wipe off and clean. If you’re looking for an easy slip-on toddler sneaker, this is a great option!
