One of the unforseen consequences of baby shoes affixed with those ubiquitous Velcro fasteners is that they're gone in 30 seconds once they're on a baby's feet. Even babies with less-than-well-developed motor skills can pry off the damn things in no time at all, really.

As a result of those poorly designed shoes, as well as lowtop baby shoes in general, my baby boy went barefoot in summer and wore feet pajamas in cooler months.

Not until he was 10 months old did it occur to me that the solution to his insufferability when it came to shoes was buying these excellent classic Converse All-Star Chuck Taylor Hi-Tops. Not only are they the cutest and coolest shoes out there (esp. in basic black), but if you double-knot the laces, your kid will never pry these off. Mine didn't.

He wore these (size 7, toddler) for a solid six months, and wore them out, but they never fell apart. They held up through playground duty, walks around the track, daily errands, being puked on more than a few times, and hence, thrown in the washing machine just as many. As Bob Seger would say, "like a rock."

When it came time to bronze our boy's first pair of baby shoes, these were the ones chosen to be immortalized in copper, forever freezing in time every wrinkle, fold, and worn-down rubber. They look even cooler all bronzed!

My boy's been wearing his size 8's now for about eight months, and although they're just about ready to pinch his big toes, they're holding up just as well as the first pair, despite more wear and tear. We break out the size 9's tomorrow.

Hooray!

These shoes are way hip and since they're hightops, my kid can't kick them off in the carseat! I haven't heard any complaints about comfort from him either. They have held up through two sons and are a little faded from frequent washing, but look all the cooler for it.

I'm very impressed with the quality and accuracy with which my new black leather Converse All Stars arrived here from the states! Thank you very much, people at Amazon.com and Electrickid! I've been dying to get a pair of these ever since I asked local South African rock legend, Francois van Coke, what kind of shoes he's wearing. Unfortunately, you can't find them in S.A. in my size. Luckily I found them on Amazon.com via Electrickid AND willing to ship them to South Africa! Well done guys! :-)

I purchased these for my daughter. She loves them, and I love the very reasonable price that I paid for them.

These shoes are adorable. My son is almost a year and has no trouble walking in these. I would say my son is average size and I personally feel these shoes fit him true to size. I got him a size 4 knowing they would be a little big, but they stay on perfect! These shoes are easy to get on, they don't fall off and the velcro is great, it keeps them on really good. Also recieved from the seller very quickly.
By far my favorite shoe for my son!

Usually I buy Vans slip-ons for my 3 yr old but this time I decided to try these. Great shoe, easy for him to put on himself, seems to wear well. It did seem to run big/long. Had I known, I'd have boughten a 1/2 size smaller. Otherwise a great purchase. :)

How cute are these! Product are very true to the fit. If your child has fat or wider feet, these are the shoes for you. I believe that shoe manufactures forget that not all children's feet are small and slender. Converse shoes are more adaptable to the various foot styles.

What can I say, who doesn't know Converse?. Perfect for my 3 year old, who has a chubby foot. The velcro makes it a breeze to put on.

very comfortable, classy looking, considering buying the black leather pair too! I wear these with jeans and a t-shirt but even use them with dressier options. Last night I wore this with a gray suit for an evening out with a date and she said I looked great. Easier to clean then canvas shoes, because its leather.

I bought this shoes for my daughter and they're great. They fit really well and stay snug on her feet. Also, being high-tops they are hard for her to take off, which is awesome. They also seem very durable. I'll be sure to buy bigger ones when she grows out of these ones.
