trying to find shoes with velcro fasteners

[Guest guest]

Hi

I went to Target this morning to buy dd new shoes (size 13.5). I wanted

velcro fasteners since she can't tie laces. I was told that they are now

stopping velcro over size 12 and moving entirely to laces!!

Is there anywhere I can get shoes for her without going back to laces?

I did eventually find one pair which fastens with a zip in her size, and

one pair which fastens with velcro in size 1 (obviously old stock, and

she'll grow into them quickly).

Many thanks for any advice

I second the Payless thing, esp going to the general manager of the

store. The ones here seem to be pretty open to getting in what ever

we need if they are able to do it. If it's an issue with other

families with kids who have autism, maybe even a few of them to call

to help encourage the thought that there will be a market to

continue them. I haven't heard anything about the laces issue. Have

you checked with Stride Rite?
