    Default velcro swim shoes?

    Hello, I am looking for velcro swim shoes. Maybe something like this:
    http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/...mSource=Search

    Looking for other options. I don't want the ones with elastic and a toggle, because they are too hard for the kids to get their feet in.

    Would prefer sneaker like bottom that is safe for playing on playground equipment and not slippery.

    And not too pricey.

    I need something to fit toddler 9, and girls 1 (really 13 1/2, but not expecting to find half sizes).

    Try Target, but look in the "Speedo aisle" (where life jackets, goggles, etc. are), not in the shoe department.

    I tried there. They have the ones with the toggle you pull to tighten, but don't really open up. We have had those for a couple of years (new ones each year), but they are almost impossible to get the foot in. They also had some that are more sandal like, but they don't seem to fit well, and I would prefer closed toe instead of open toe.

    We got some great ones last year near the end of the season, LL Bean had some marked down. I picked up a pair, and dd1, they didn't have sizes for dd2. They are not carrying those this year. They were Mary Jane style.

    I got these at buy buy baby
    http://www.buybuybaby.com/product.asp?SKU=122511&
    (no velcro - they go over the feet and stay on).
    They also have these:

    Never mind - just realized these won't work for you! Sorry

    We like the ones from Old Navy:

    They usually have other colors earlier in the year.

    Those are the exact ones I have for DS in size 7. He is 2.5yrs and good motor skills, is able to thread the strap through, tighten in and is good to go. Wears them to the park, the beach and the pool.
