Shoe buckles/velcro disc ussion continued...

[Guest guest]

There's still buckles on these shoes. It's buckles, then laces, then

velcro straps across the top. Or do you mean other buckles besides

the inside ones that tighten & hold the foot in?

No your right. I just wrote it wrong. We had the option to get velcro

in replacement of the laces. So it would then be the buckle then the

velcro. We just chose the laces figuring it would be harder for her

to try and undo. I wasn't offered a style like that. Maybe they are

just an older style like someone had mentioned earlier.
