Very happy with these sneakers for our 3 1/2 year-old. He loves that he can put them on himself with the elastic laces and Velcro closure. Price was reasonable, too. The suede hides a lot of the wear/tear on them, and the color isn't too dark. Great for back-to-school.

These sneakers are so cute. I bought them for my 6 year old grandson who just started playing tennis. He loved them. True to size and looked adorable.

These shoes are great! The elastic laces are snug enough to keep my son's feet from sliding out and I never have to worry about having to tie them! Oh, and they are very cool.

I just got this shoe for my little guy who is turning 2 in a few weeks. This is the best and cutest pair of shoes I have ever gotten him. He measures as a 6 wide. I got him another pair of lace up Adidas' about 6 months ago and they have held up really well so I wanted to get him another pair. The Gazelle 2 is not available in a wide width so I got a 6.5 and it worked great for him. The elastic laces with the Velcro are just genius. I have previous tried Vans and they are just too difficult to get on my little dude's feet since there is no tongue to lift up. These give you the convenience of a slip on but with better functionality as the laces lift away and Velcro. And you get the super cute look of these shoes. My little dude was walking sturdy and looking cute! If you have a rough and tumble little dude like I do, I highly recommend these shoes and Adidas in general!

Was looking for a shoe for our daughter that would be not too girlie and would look good with darker jeans. These fit the bill nicely. Velcro opening makes it easier to get them on or off.

These are adorable. I do agree with the others that the velcro could be a little more secure though. They pop open when my son is walking on occasion.

These shoes are adorable, but the velcro isn't as sturdy as we'd like. My little boy is active, active, active, and the velcro comes apart often and there have been many slips and falls.

These are so adorable and I got tons of compliments, but they just didn't hold up to my rough-and-tumble three-year-old. The velcro would come undone and within a couple weeks they looked very worn in the front.

Great looking shoe and really like the design. Unfortunately, for our active 3 year old, the velcro stood no chance of staying put. He ran out of those shoes continually. Great Zappos CS to help out.

Do not buy these shoes. They are adorable, but the velcro does not stay put. They came undone all the time. I returned the shoes with no problem, though. Thanks Zappos!

I wasn't quite sure about ordering sunglasses off the web but I'm glad I did. These glasses are great! They fit my face perfectly and are extremely comfortable. I also like the bronze lenses. They provide a perfect amount of shade for your eyes from the sun. I would recommend them highly!

These sunglasses are great! I am very picky when it comes to sunglasses, not just about the style but about the fit and feel. I took a gamble on these only because Zappos has such an easy return policy (in case I didn't like them). They arrived, however, and I was very happy. The build quality is nice; they are light and comfortable, and are just the right size I wanted. I like that the lenses are big, but not overly huge. They still look very sleek and sporty. They even come with a pouch and hard case, and microfiber. Nice extras. I liked these so much I immediately ordered another pair in black, and I may be back for a third pair (when I have more expendable dollars).
