Fancy Footwear for Cool Kids

If your kids are anything like mine, they love wearing cute things on their feet! Living in Florida, we basically live in flip-flops and sandals year round, but there are definitely times that they want to wear something else on their tootsies. In looking around, I’ve found several cool types of footwear for kids! If you haven’t given any of these a try, your kids just might love them:

• LittleMissMatched Socks  Does your washing machine periodically eat socks? Mine does… and we also sometimes lose socks under beds or in other yet-unfound places. End those cries of, “Mommmm, I don’t have any matching socks!” with LittleMissMatched socks! The premise is genius: Each “pair” is actually a trio of socks, none of which match perfectly, but that are complementary to one another. For example, you might have one striped, one color-blocked and one polka-dotted sock, all in the same color family. Or conversely, you might have three striped socks, each featuring different colors. Either way, if you lose one, it’s not a problem, because you still have two left!

• Graffeeti Shoes  Graffeeti sneakers are regular sneakers with a twist: They’re customizable, because they come with dry erase markers and are specially made to be drawn and doodled on! Kids can draw or color to their hearts’ content, wear their special creations, then wipe it off and start all over again. You can only use the pens that come with the shoes, but have no fears about them getting lost, because they attach to the shoes themselves in a cute little container. The shoes come in different styles, with various designs to color in or blank spaces for imaginative doodles of their own.

• Tiny TOMS  TOMS Shoes are a favorite here at ShopaholicMommy, and for good reason: In addition to being comfortable and made from quality materials, they’re also a great way to donate to charity; every time you make a shoe purchase, TOMS donates a new pair of shoes to a child in need somewhere in the world. TOMS has lots of great shoes for the tiniest members of the family! New styles include bright and colorful Classics and striped Glitters. Let your little ones show the world that they’re environmentally savvy by wearing their TOMS shoes this spring! Even better, we have TOMS coupons that you can use to save some money, so be sure to check them out!
