4 fashionable summer shoes your kids will love
By Aimee Heckel
You will never see a pair of Crocs on the runway — or even on a B-celeb TV show on Lifetime. But kids love ’em. Maybe it’s the water resistance, ideal for puddle-splashers and sprinkler-runners. Or maybe it’s just children’s innate rebelliousness.
But, if the fashionista in you dies a little every time your kid slips into a pair of these round clown flippers, there are other options — shoes that your little one and your fashion sense will approve of.
Here are a few of the most fashionable shoes for kids this summer:
1. Toms for kids. Not only are these shoes trendy and comfortable, they also come with a deeper lesson to teach your kids. For each pair of shoes you buy, a pair is donated to a needy child. Toms shoes even come in sustainable and vegan styles, as well as fancier styles.
But, the guaranteed way to transition your child from Crocs to Toms: the glitter line. What little girl wouldn’t swoon over a pair of pink glittery Toms ($42)?
