This is such a cool looking pair of shoes!  The springs in the heel made my son like them, even above a pair of character shoes.  The color combo is stylish, fun but not too overwhelmingly bright.  My 5-year-old just moved up to size 1 in shoes and is now in "kid" shoes instead of the toddler sizes, so it is getting tougher to find Velcro shoes (he can't tie laces yet, and it's too tough to get out the door if I have to stop and tie everyone's shoes!).  These were a great solution.
