I was so excited to try out these new shoes that were recommended to me by my PT as my son is currently in an ankle brace and this is wide enough to fit his brace. He tried them on and they didn’t squeak I thought it was due to the brace so I didn’t think much about them until I was taking off his shoes that evening and I noticed the white switch was missing. I reached out to customer service and received no reply, which is a shame. I ordered two pairs (one black and one gray) and my son loves when the others squeaked and gives him confidence as he is trying to walk.
My toddler really likes the print. The toe box is a little less wide than the same brand shoes. Makes it more difficult to put on. The description is also accurate that sizing is different. The sandals are shorter in size compared to regular sizing in the shoes.
I've been buying Ikiki shoes for a couple of years now for my son who wears SMOs. They were the best shoe we've found to fit over his braces. He also has low muscle tone and they were the most lightweight option. He also loves the squeaking and it encourages him to walk. Now my younger son, who does not wear SMOs is getting his hand me downs and we love them for everyday wear for him. They are easy to slip on his feet and because of the larger opening we never feel like they are restricting his movement.
