I was really happy to see that these shoes were available at Famous Footwear. They looked easy to put on, had the adjustable heel band, and lots of colorful sequins. Sadly, the shoes just ran too big for my daughter and the adjustable band was not elastic but a smooth cord that slid out of the adjuster making the fit of the shoe worse. I brought them back and got her another pair of sneakers. A pair that ties not a slip on pair.
