Velcro trainers (for DD) in adult sizes - not Veja!

Hi, my 10 yr old needs new trainers and has asked to go back to Velcro despite having laces last year. She says they come undone and take her too long to do up. She’s an adult size 3 though and most kids ranges end at 2.5
Apart from Veja and some Stan Smiths I haven’t seen any rip tape adult sized trainers - has anyone else??

Has she tried the no-tie shoe laces? There are various ones around. It would give her more choice of trainers then.

Another vote for no-tie shoe laces, there are lots of different styles depending on what she wants. Gives her the freedom to choose whatever trainer she wants and then a choice of laces. Also lots of videos on Youtube of them too.

We have laced trainers with elastic laces put in as a replacement.

Tried the H shaped ones, and the ones with the locking toggle, but these are the prefered design - but not for me putting them in. Getting them adjusted properly is tried and error, and then cursing when child says they are too tight!
