"Much like an automobile, Hatchbacks shoes provide extensive engineering and a sleek design with an eye for practicality," said David Gasparovic founder and president of Hatchbacks. "We implemented fit-testing to ensure generous toe room and excellent flexibility. As a father of three, I know that shoes are not just a necessity, but a reflection of our child's personality. There have been many mornings when my children resisted getting dressed. Our design takes into account the need for a shoe that is easy to put on as well as fashionable enough for a toddler. We have adopted a saying around Hatchbacks, if you can't find the Racer shoes, just go look in the toy box."

As simple as Ready! Set! Go!

Designed with simplicity in mind, the Hatchbacks Racer hinge opens in the back part of the shoe. To open, release the Velcro seat belt tabs, move downward for a generous opening, then slip your child's toes into the front part of the shoe. To finish, close the back part around your child's heel and snugly snug 1
