Is there a difference between laces and slip-on shoes?
When Choosing The Best Children’s Shoes, it’s very important to choose a pair that has an adjustable fastening mechanism. Choosing shoes with laces, velcro or a buckle rather than a slip-on can help in many ways.
- It’s important that the shoe is secured to the foot so the toes do not claw to grip the shoe
- As your child’s feet grow it’s also important that you are able to adjust the shoes.
