The mid-top slip-on sneaker, specially designed for children aged 4 to 9, is easy to put on and take off. It features a classic yet stylish design, excellent comfort, and high safety standards.

Drawing inspiration from the tie-dye patterns beloved by American girls, this product incorporates shades of pink, blue, and yellow against a mainstream white background, integrating the classic swirl element. This results in a unique, fashionable tie-dye style with a vibrant feel.

Paying careful attention to detail in the design, the designer introduced classic decorative shoelaces and an elastic tongue, allowing children with various foot shapes to easily put on or take off the sneaker on their own without pinching their feet. The broad toe cap, high upper, and highly elastic thickened insole ensure a comfortable wearing experience.

In terms of material selection, the outer is crafted from canvas for a classic sneaker look, while the pure cotton inner lining and insole enhance comfort and effectively protect children's delicate skin. The rubber outsole and welt provide excellent wear resistance and non-slip properties. All materials used meet industry standards, making the product a safe and reliable companion for children.
