Dakota - Flex® | Purple

The mesh lining keeps my son's feet from getting sweaty even after running around outside all afternoon, and the flexible rubber sole bends easily when he's climbing. He can put them on himself, which he couldn't do with his old stiff shoes.

My daughter wears these every day for preschool and they've held up way better than I expected. The flexible rubber sole lets her run and climb without tripping, which was my main worry with Mary Janes. Two months in and they still look almost new.

The mesh lining is a lifesaver for sweaty little feet, and the sole bends so easily that she can finally run without tripping. I've already ordered a second pair in the next size up.
