DVS is now introducing "Slip-Lace" technology on all of its toddlers' shoes for Spring 2008. "Slip-Lace" technology allows easy access for the foot with its velcro eyestay pulltab. The added elastic strap gives the foot a secure fit and prevents slippage. The laces are sewn into the actual eyestay which eliminates any loose ends or the need to tie the shoes. Get the look your groms want and the function you need all in one package!
