I have always had a “thing” about my kids’ shoes… Shoes are one thing I don’t have a problem spending a little more money on.  I want to make sure the have shoes that are good for their feet, especially while they’re really young and their feet are still developing.  I am a big proponent of flexible soles, so I was happy to see Stride Rite‘s newest line for early walkers.

Sammy happily sports this pair:

Are those cute or what?  They are made of super-soft leather, and the Natural Motion System® technology ensure that they’re appropriately flexible.  

They have an over-sized opening that makes them a snap to put on (and a snap for Sam to take off!), and they’re make with eco-friendly materials, including recycled rubber outsole, natural stitching, and water-based inks.

I really love these shoes. They’re cute and sturdy, and they pass my “bend them in the palm of one hand” flexibility test.  They come in a variety of colors and patterns for boys and girls, and retail at $45.  Stop by your local Stride Rite or order them on Stride Rite today!
