I promise to teach Ethan how to tie his shoes ... as soon as he grows out these slip-on ones.

betty said...: they sure look comfortable! I remember it took a bit for both of my kids to 'get it' on tying shoes; lots of practice for sure :)

Cookie said...: Again, I'm like you. I've been putting off teaching my son how to tie his shoes too. Maybe later...; November 6, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Honey Mommy said...: This exactly why my son has shoes with velcro... but then again he is only three!; November 9, 2009 at 1:15 PM
Cant delete this! said...: There's always velcro. It's better than double knots and no untying.; November 10, 2009 at 1:07 PM
MaryAnn Ashley said...: Sounds like a good plan to me.; November 10, 2009 at 4:07 PM
Janice said...: DB love, love, loved his pair like this! Unfortunately he also loved walking on the heels, so they didn't last very long...; November 22, 2009 at 9:06 PM
Unknown said...: My husband still wears slip on shoes. He can tie shoes but he prefers the styles of the slip-on. So it's not really a necessary life skill anymore. He can learn to tie and make knots...but it doesn't have to be on his shoes. :); November 24, 2009 at 6:30 PM
