nope. You must have an older pair, I saw one like that in a picture once I

think, is the strap black? But the new style Markell's (and even the old

style) didn't have that. Check out the Markell website, the new style have

an enlarged heel pocket and padding at the top/ankle that is intended to

take the place of the plastizode inserts which were required in the old

style (the ones without velcro :~} ). www.markellshoe.com

Next pair of shoes, tell them you don't want stock that's been sitting

there forever. I'm pretty sure the ones without the velcro have been

around since before 1998 and this new style has been in production since

Oct. of 2003.

The strap isn't black...but I got these from another group member

who didn't use them...her daughter had atyp & so they didn't work.

So they are a couple of years old, but they were literally brand

new. I think her daughter wore them maybe a week. But Ava does just

fine in them--we've never had a sore or blister or anything. But she

goes for a checkup on the 24th & I'm sure she'll need a new pair, so

unless anyone has an old pair of size 1's and an 8 " or 10 " bar

laying around **hint hint ;-)** I guess we'll be buying her next

pair. It did have little foamy inserts at the top around the back of

the ankle, but they came off about 2 weeks ago & we haven't had any

trouble. She has very nice heels though.

So the new ones don't have velcro? I find it very handy, I put the

laces inside it so Ava can't get to them & pull them & untie the

shoes...until she learns to undo the velcro, that is!

The velcro is to replace the buckles. We got Ava's first pair of

shoes from the same place and they asked us if we wanted laces and

buckles or laces and the velcro. We chose the buckles. Maybe they

just gave them to her and didn't give a choice?? I'm sure they work

the same. Sorry there not the next size you need.
