Athletic Works Toddler Girls Knit Cage Sneakers, Sizes 7-12

These are adorable! I'm so happy they finally came out with a shoe of this style for girls. My daughter loves the design, and ease of slipping them on. She is almost 4 and she is able to put them on herself which helps build her independence and confidence in knowing she can do something on her own. She finds them to be very comfortable. They are easy to wash as well. I have also noticed the last couple of months they haven't fallen apart so they seem to hold up.

These shoes have surpassed my expectations. They have held up so far to about 5 months of wear. My daughter uses them as every day school shoes, as well as soccer shoes. She is only 3, so it's mostly kicking the ball around. The soles have held up very well. Her school playground is made of turf though, so she's not constantly running on pavement. The colors are great, because they give her just enough pink to feel special, but still go with almost every outfit she has. The slip-on factor is perfect. She learned how to slip on her shoes within a week of wearing them. I can't say enough good things about these shoes. They don't retain a ton of heat, so her feet weren't constantly sweating in them all summer. She didn't get any blisters when wearing them. She has worn them with socks though; never without. The elastic around the ankles hasn't stretched out so the shoes still remain secured to her feet. She never steps out of them when running. I highly recommend these sneakers. They hold up well to lots of 3 year old wear and tear!
