Tried 2 pairs with this shoe, we thought the 13.5 was too short in laces which is why they would untie multiple times a day that by the end of the day when i picked up my daughter her laces were untied and she left them because she was tired of tying them.  Ordered the 1 and the same thing.  RIDICULOUS!  I refuse to buy shoes and then spend  more money on new laces.  Also, they collect dirt very easily, my daughter came home the 2nd day and she looked like pig pen.  She has had white shoes before and never looked like this.
