My daughter will only wear these Scketcher sneakers; however, i bought them last week and after only a few wearings, the velcro strap is already showing wear and tear!  Serioulsy, it hasn't even been a week.  Every pair she's owned (now 5 pairs) has sustained the same damage as do all the other little girls Sketchers sneakers in her daycare.  Cute shoes; but, they need to work on the durability of these shoes to support a 3 yearold!
