芙蓉花

My daughter used to fight me every morning over shoes, but these slip on in seconds without any tugging. The rubber sole actually bends when she runs, so she's not tripping over stiff bottoms like her old pair. Two months in and the canvas still looks new.

The canvas is so light my son forgets he's wearing them, and the rubber sole actually bends when he runs instead of feeling stiff. He can pull them on by himself in about five seconds, which is a small miracle on school mornings.

My daughter refuses to take these off, even at bath time, which tells you everything about how comfortable the canvas upper must be. The flexible rubber sole lets her run and climb without me worrying about stiff footing. Best purchase I've made for her wardrobe this month.
