These shoes are made to decrease toe walking, with built-in squeakers in the soles that can be turned on/off. These shoes have been well loved, and do have some defects. The velcro that is lifted up in the picture is not particularly sticky anymore, but could be easily fixed with replacement velcro. Additionally, the original teal inserts were removed to place inserts in the shoes, and are nowhere to be found. Any reusable insert could be placed inside, or they can be used as is. Other blemishes are as pictured. Priced accordingly.
