I love these shoes! They are adorable and bright colored and sparkly. My daughter loves them, too. They are almost more of a tennis shoe version of dc the style, they seem a little different than her other pairs of dcs that are more skate-like these are easier to slip on and off than her other slip-ons. But they still are not the kind of laces you do up so they still are a little difficult to put on (but then you don't have to worry about re-tying the laces over and over, either).
