They’ve an identical vibe, however even higher, they’ve insole cushioning so you’ll be able to stroll ceaselessly; and, though they seem like they’ve a buckle, it’s really velcro!!! As a result of what’s extra annoying than needing to cease, bend down, and buckle your sneakers each single time at a seashore or pool with children? They’re the shoe model of a professional tip.
