The Velcro ones. They seem to have a heavier/harder/thicker rubber sole. THOSE we have def had for a year or so at a time. My husband just got sick of them because I rebought them so many times in same colors! But we still always have one pair on hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833512 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 08:13:33 +0000 Madison43 2833512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: second these. We love this shoe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833504 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 07:21:42 +0000 SweetiePie 2833504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here it is. I do find that Nikes run small (at least smaller than converse). </p> <p><a href="https://m.zappos.com/p/nike-kids-revolution-4-infant-toddler-light-carbon-obsidian-thunder-blue-white/product/8946845/color/741264" rel="nofollow">https://m.zappos.com/p/nike-kids-revolution-4-infant-toddler-light-carbon-obsidian-thunder-blue-white/product/8946845/color/741264</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833502 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 07:20:10 +0000 SweetiePie 2833502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do Nikes and one in particular we really like. I’ll find link they were recently on sale at Zappos.<br /> We got him a pair in December last year and they lasted up until a couple weeks ago. Honestly might have lasted longer but my husband took him to a playground and he splashed in puddles and he forgot to take them out of the plastic bag after for a few days 🙄</p> <p>So they lasted about 7months but that was with everyday wear including about a mile or two of walking every day (or scootering). We live in the city so we walk a TON. Plus outdoor playground almost every day. </p> <p>Bonus they are very easy to put on (for adults AND kids). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833494 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 06:43:49 +0000 808love 2833494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love Saucony and Dd grew out before they wore down. I found Aasics to be very durable but don’t buy online without reading reviews can there are so many versions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833445 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 18:56:41 +0000 SweetCaroline 2833445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our Keen sneakers. DD has had them for almost a year (I bought 0.5-1 size bigger) and when she grows out, they are in good enough shape I will save them as a play pair of shoes for #2. We will buy Keen for our next pair also.</p> <p>I have even washed them 5-6 times. The only wear they are showing is the tread is wearing like a pair of tires would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833385 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:43:31 +0000 psw27 2833385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tend to do Nike's for my son who is almost 4 but not the ones with mesh toes - those ones fall apart. He has to have the little plastic lip or a bit of plastic coating that extends up. For some reason he must scrape his toes a lot (maybe scooter riding) and the mesh ones get holes after days! So we learned that lesson quickly. He also beats up his natives pretty good and those have hung in so far!</p> <p>These are the ones that are working for us right now:</p> <p><a href="https://www.zappos.com/p/nike-kids-flex-experience-run-7-little-kid-wolf-grey-white-cool-grey/product/8974026/color/250933" rel="nofollow">https://www.zappos.com/p/nike-kids-flex-experience-run-7-little-kid-wolf-grey-white-cool-grey/product/8974026/color/250933</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833370 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:09:28 +0000 lioneyes 2833370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do adidas sambas, nike free runs, and in winter, the gap high tops with velcro. They all seem to last until he outgrows them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833364 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 11:59:01 +0000 kiddosc 2833364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had really good luck with the stride rite breccen sneaker.

We have the saucony Jazz- not jazz light- I wonder if they are more durable because the sides seem sturdier? They are also a bit wider though, since the light ones were too narrow for my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833353 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 11:39:24 +0000 Silva 2833353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Plae shoes took a real beating at preschool and held up well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833352 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 11:38:40 +0000 Sams Mom 2833352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have researched this a lot over the last few months because my son is really hard on shoes even though he outgrows them fairly quick. I have narrowed it down to New Balance or Asics, Asics is having their semi-annual sale right now too if you go that route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833349 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 11:37:02 +0000 snowjewelz 2833349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had several pairs of New Balance as well since DD was a walker. I stick to sneaker brands that offer velcro and have been very happy with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833347 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 11:35:24 +0000 alphagam84 2833347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really like the Nike toddler shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833340 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 11:22:38 +0000 peachykeen 2833340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 has had good luck with New Balances. I just buy whatever option/color is on sale, so no clue on different types - they've all lasted past the time she outgrew them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/durable-sneakers-for-preschooler#post-2833317 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 10:09:36 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2833317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have a favorite, durable sneaker for their preschooler? We love the Saucony Jazz Lite, but they only lasted us about 6 months before falling apart, and that was even with us alternating 2 different pairs!<br /> DS is not particularly rough on his clothing, but I would love to find a more durable sneaker for this year. He wears Keen sandals the other 1/2 of the year, and they hold up great. (He will be 4 soon, and is likely a size 10) </p>
