So many reviews said they looked identical to the Apple ones and they were so right. Upon return, I tried them on & found them to be uncomfortable due to the way the tongue is designed. The soles are Metallic and the straps are clear, which made it hard to walk and be comfortable in this shoe. All this maneuvering around the hook has also resulted in lots of scuffing on my wall. Based on the reviews I checked before buying, I didnt see this as a common recurring issue. I thought they would be hard for my 20 mo. The shoes have a higher heel than the front of the shoe, which pushes your foot forward or something—it’s odd. Storing my sticker collection. For build quality they get 1 star. The step down locks are far superior than most Ive used.
