Do they offer good grip for toddlers?

Are these Nike Dunks heavy for toddlers?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Check the fit by ensuring there's about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the shoe's end. Adjust the classic laces for a more secure or relaxed fit. If sizing seems off, re-verify the UK size against your child's foot measurements.
The white areas of the shoes get dirty quickly.
This is common with white footwear. Regularly wipe down the leather and synthetic surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a gentle shoe cleaner and a soft brush, then wipe clean and air dry.
Laces frequently come undone during play.
Ensure the laces are tied securely with a firm knot. For very active toddlers, consider using a double knot. You may also explore alternative lacing techniques that offer a tighter hold.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur if the outsole or insole rubs against another part. Check if the insole is properly seated. If the squeak persists, sometimes applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help, or it might be a characteristic of new rubber soles that will diminish with wear.
