VELCRO Football Boots

[TheRealMrsF]

Can u get velcro fastening YOUTHS football boots - size 5..... my son is Autistic and cannot tie laces

ooh there was a thread about this a while back... came up with a solution but can't remember what...

It was MrsF's thread before, I think - didn't you find anything suitable then, MrsF?

Ummmm...that was me too!!! The suggestion was to use 'toggles' like on ruck sacks.....just still hopefull i can get 'special' velcro ones...he's not keen on laces FULL STOP!!!!!

oh yes... just loooked it up and found it was you! hmmm, not sure really, sorry!

My 6yr old nephew supposedly got some at Clarks but they were probably a 13 or 1. I have seen Adidas indoor velcro soccer shoes.

yes clarks do them, but not up to a 5 unfortunately

you can get elastic laces that only need to be tied once

so...would he simply tie them tight then tuck the laces in???

Just got ds2 some velcro boots in John Lewis sale, half price at £11. He's only a size 8 and 1/2, might do up to a bigger size. They are made by cica and the code on the box is 349636F. name is "TWIN STRIKE 1", colour is "black/red/silver leather". They came in a dark grey box with a black lid with a red cica curly sign and "CICA" written in white. They were on a sale rack. I got them in John Lewis, Glasgow. They don't have studs but would be suitable for playing on concrete or grass.
