Kids' Sparkle Block Trainers (5 Small - 12 Small)

Looked great, but the elastic laces are really tight and you can't loosen them, so they come up so small! They are also really stuff and rigid!

There are a few negative reviews on here, but actually I'm just about to order the second pair for our daughter. Ok, they're quite narrow, but so are her feet. The elastic laces are quite firm, but once you get the knack (pull the tongue forward and slide the foot in) they go on like a dream. Our daughter has additional needs, and these trainers are good for her because they are solid, unlike some other trainers out there which are a bit like socks on the foot, and they offer her a stable base whilst allowing for her insoles. They've been great for us, and they're still intact with no rips, wear or loose stitching - they're getting too small now so we're getting more. In fact, we might even get them in bigger sizes for the future. Plus, and don't underestimate the importance of this point - they're GLITTERY, which means one little lady is very happy. M&S, if you keep making them, we'll keep buying them.

I bought these w few weeks ago, the design is really pretty and there Is a good sole on them but the elastic was so tight I couldn’t get my daughters feet in them. I bought them as indoor shoes for nursery so I just cut the elastic off and use the strap to hold them in her feet

I bought two pairs for my 6 and 4 year old daughters. I did not find them too narrow unlike above reviews However within 2 weeks each of the 4 shoes looked as though they were about 2 years old! The pink rubber sole at the front detached from the shoe, the pink rubber at the toes became shredded- so disappointed. I purchased them online and picked them up at a click and collect only store so i can only return and hope money is refunded in faith to then purchase something else. ;o(

Such a shame as M&S shoes have always been great in the past. After struggling a few times and hoping the laces would stretch, we eventually had to resort to cutting them so my daughter could wear them. Pretty disappointed.

These shoes are beautiful, but my daughter has very narrow feet and even she couldn’t squeeze them on. I had to help her and it was painful. The laces do not adjust

The shoes are beautiful but sadly the laces don’t stretch enough to let a child’s foot in. I really persisted, and managed to get one foot in, but it was hard work and not practical to do everyday. It’s a shame as once her foot was in they fitted perfectly but because the laces don’t stretch wide enough/barely at all, we will be returning them.

My 4 year old daughter LOVES these trainers! They are a bit stiff at first to get on as they have no laces to loosen but after a few wears they are easier to put on, not sure how long they will stay white for but great value for money and a very happy little girl!! We have even brought the blue pair

Unfortunately these trainers were much too narrow - even when ordering a larger size to accommodate as I had read previous reviews. Such a disappointment and now these need to be returned.

There were other poor reviews on the site for these trainers. However my daughter liked the style so I purchased them online in an 11 and 12. I can only ask....how on earth did these make make it into production!! The elasticated laces are so tight it made it almost impossible to get a foot into the trainer. The trainers will need to be returned and i would not recommend this item.
