Greetings fellow amazonians I bought these for my friend mongo he has autism and because of that has to ride on a rascal. When I picked these up I was hoping to see him run and play with the help of these shoes, too bad they do not do what they say because when he puts them on he tries to take a step and he falls on his face. Since they are heavier then the flip flops he normally wears I think these shoes actually make it harder for him to walk let alone run. Please amazon make sure that you test out this equipment before you sell it and please do not confuse customers by offering shoes that do not help autistic children run it's just plain wrong
