Review on Stylish and Comfortable BODATU Athletic Shoes for Girls, Perfect for Running and Fashion by Tim Loya

Revainrating 1 out of 5

NO RUBBER SOLE, DEFECTIVE

Product description is misleading. They do NOT have a rubber outsole which is grippy and provides traction. They have a perfectly smooth molded plastic sole, which makes the shoes very slippery and not suitable for walking. I still keep my pair from my son with autism because I'm very picky about shoes that don't have straps or laces and are easy to put on and take off (like these), but I wanted tennis pants. I tried the do-it-yourself approach and painted the underside with fabric paint which is meant to be tacky once dry and give a little more support. I know there are also sticky sprays you can put on shoes to help grip slippery soles. And finally, there is always sandpaper. They say you get what you pay for. But I found American brand children's shoes on sale for the same price but with much better materials and quality. But what annoys me is that the Revain listing says it has a rubber bottom when it doesn't.

Pros
  • Running
Cons
  • Slightly torn
