First I'll say that, like anything else I've ever purchased by Melissa & Doug, this item is very well-made. Very chunky, very sturdy, nice weight, smooth to touch. However, the shoe was not exactly what I was expecting. I assumed, since the product description mentioned "teaches your child", that there would be some sort of accompanying pamphlet, containing tips/tricks for the child. There is just the shoe and that's it. So I would consider this to be just a "practice shoe", nothing more. Had I known this before, I would not have purchased this item, since my son can use any old shoe in our house to practice on.

My daughter was struggling to learn how to tie her shoes in kindergarden this year. And we had tried using other methods to teach her but the shoe lace on this shoe is great. It's thick enough for her small hands to manage and within the first day of trying, she learned how to tie a shoe. A friend recommened this shoe to me and I recommend it to everybody I know.
I wish it had come with either the "bunny Ears" or the "around the tree" directions but it didn't come with either. I had to get online and find them since its been 20 some odd years since I learned how to tie my shoes and couldn't remember how they went. We tried both with my daughter but she grasped the "around the tree" best.

This lace up sneaker is awesome. After I convinced my 4 year old he could not wear it, it has been a great learning tool. It is really good sized and easy to teach and practice on. Another quality Melissa and Doug product!
