I'm not the OP, but I found that at 18 months, DS could undo his shoes
quite easily and he would take off his shoes as soon as I put them on.
It became quite the morning routine. Put left shoe on, put right shoe
one (while DS is taking off the left shoe), put left shoe on (while DS
is taking off the right shoe), repeat until I get DD to hold DS's hands.

Never velcro again.

That is part of the problem. The other part is I feel velco doesn't
really give the support or fit that a lace does. It fastens at two
places across the foot - leaving the rest of the foot more free to
move, where as laces are snug across the entire top of the foot..

DS isn't in daycare so it's not an issue or anything, just a preference
for me.

Thanks to all who submitted suggestions. I will do some major looking
this week to see if we can find a shoes that is flexible and fits well.

Going barefoot is not recommended in anything colder than 5 degrees
above freezing. Where it is here 6 months out of the year.

Just curious as to why you don't like velcro. It serves the same
purpose as a tie in giving the shoe a more *personalized* fit, but
doesn't come untied (which in turn leads to tripping or shoes coming
off), and is easier than ties to open wide for easier foot insertion.
Its a savior for us with One's wide feet


I know that aesthetically, I just don't like shoes with velcro. I know
that if I had a kid with really wide feet, I'd probably change my tune,
but I just don't like the look of them. It's just one of those weird
things.

We've done very well with slip on sneakers by Nike for ds.h
