I love this shoe with the zipper! My son is almost 12 and has been wearing MAFO since he was four months old. I struggled with different brands, some made specifically for orthotics which were more expensive and some regular brands which I evaluated and removed the insoles. But they're more affordable than other specialty shoes and easier to put on and take off than regular brands. I took the advice of many other reviewers and got the size I wanted to buy (so I had to size up the MAFO one more size, then went up the size again because the reviews said they were too small and the other all sizes are bigger.). They're a bit big considering how I bought them, but if they're smaller they won't fit in the MAFO. I didn't have to remove the insole and the zip fits so well over the MAFO sneakers. Plus they look chic! They look like figure skates and my oldest son thought they were super cool (and he's 15, that's saying something)! As long as I can find them in his size at a reasonable price I will continue to buy them for him!
