Best slip on shoes to make putting on shoes easy for kids?

Looking for extremely easy-to-put-on sneakers for kindergartener. Not merely slip on, but the kind of slip on that don’t require hands at all (like literally just step in and go). If she has to sit down to put them on, she will get distracted and it’s an extra 5 minutes, minimum.
We tried Natives a few years ago and found the rubber texture didn’t make them easy to put on unless we sized up to the point they didn’t seem secure on the feet. Should we try again? Would something like Vans or a similar shoe (I see Target has a bunch of Cat & Jack shoes in that style) be better? We ant something that can be worn with or without socks. Any recommendations? |

| Crocs? Fur lined ones for winter? |

| If your Kindergartner, who is presumably 5.5-6.5, gets that distracted, I think that deserves some thought. |

| Kizik makes these and they're well made. I'm wearing a pair now. |

Oh yes, getting tested for the things. But that's not the question I'm asking. I can talk to a professional about that. I just came here for shoe recommendations. |

| Teach your kid how to use a shoe- horn so she can quickly slide into any shoe. They're easy to use and come in various lengths, colors, and sizes. |

I got these for my kindergartner in the fall and am going to replace them with the same style for spring. Easy and they stay on, and she loves them. Bogs Kicker II. I found them cheaper on Amazon, but honestly for the amount of use they got, $60 was probably a fair price.
