"Bought these for my daughter and she LOVES them. They are very comfortable and lightweight but the sole is durable yet flexible. They do run a little small. We sized up and they were just right. Still, I highly recommend."

"Bought these for my daughter and she LOVES them. They are very comfortable and lightweight but the sole is durable yet flexible. They do run a little small. We sized up and they were just right. Still, I highly recommend."
"Very comfortable, my daughter says these are her favorite shoes. Needed a color that wasn’t pink or purple so she could wear them with other colors. These were perfect. !"
"I’ve owned many pairs of APL over the years, and my daughter even wore the tiny ones when she was little. Now that she’s older, she chose her own pair—and she absolutely loves them. She’s 10 years old and really likes how easy they are to slip on and off. They’re incredibly comfortable, and she even wears them to tennis practice. She says it feels like she’s walking on a cloud. Living in LA, shoes get dirty fast, but these are super easy to clean—you can just throw them in the washing machine and they come out looking great. Comfortable, practical, and kid-approved."
"My daughter is very particular about shoes and has sensory issues. These are the only shoes she likes! They wash well too."
"We love these for school - we have a uniform / dress code that requires solid color shoes, and these fit the bill. They are comfortable, durable, and washable. We have them in multiple colors and are waiting to navy to come back in stock!"
"They are so amazing and cute style. The kids loved them and they’re so comfortable for them!"
"The shoes are good fit for my daughter."
"Easy to wear for kids and comfortable"
"Well made and very stylish! Love them!"
"My 8-year-old practically lives in his APL Youth Techloom Wave sneakers—he won’t even take them off at home. He says they’re super light with plenty of bounce, and they’ve already survived basketball, badminton, ping-pong, and running all over. The comfort is top-notch, but the real genius is the design: they *look* like lace-ups, but are actually slip-ons. Basically, he gets the style of a “big kid shoe” with the convenience every parent secretly prays for."
