Sorry, I cant help as DS's are 24 and with velcro, but just wanted to bump this up for you.

Hi Jenny,
Aother solution for this. We had the same problem for years with my son taking off his Piedro boots, he would manage to kick off even the ones with laces. Piedros can have an additional strap added, which basically goes in one side, under the tongue and out the other and buckles there. Worked like a dream for us. The folks that make the piedros did it. We had had no idea it was an option till our physio said! Hope this helps.
