The Vans Kids Checkerboard Strker UltimateWaffle Velcro Shoes are slip-ons with a soft, flexible fit for ease-of-entry and room to grow. They also have tongue-and-heel pulls and a gore strap with a hook-and-loop closure for accessibility. Breathable and stretch materials, and a collapsible heel allow for extra comfort. The UltimateWaffle sole adds cushioning, traction and durability, and the translucent outsole and checkerboard pattern completes the look.
