I bought these for my daughter with special needs. I have a difficult time finding shoes at a shoe store that she can wear for two reasons - 1) it is challenging to put shoes on her because of the way her feet are and 2) it is easier for me to check to make sure her toes  are not curled but positioned flat before pulling the top flap over her shoe. Propet is a great brand for her. Now I just need to find a white pair of this particular brand. I have not found one yet.
