As I mentioned in a recent blog, my almost-six-year-old, Lola, has been quickly outgrowing some size 11’s and fitting into some of the size 12’s that I had stockpiled. It’s a good thing I plan ahead. I’ve been buying adorable little flower-adorned sandals, stretch ballet flats, and comfy canvas mary janes for the past few months in anticipation of just such a growth spurt, but that doesn’t mean I am done. With so many adorable options for boys and girls for spring, my work may be just getting started. Here, my top picks for warm weather shoes:
1. Xhileration Holleen Sandal, $14.99, Target: Count on Target to offer trendy styles at surprising prices. These sandals are so chic, and right now, if you buy one pair, you get the second 50% off. I suggest making these your second pair.
2. Cherokee Preston Canvas Boat Shoe, $14.99, Target: Preppy style at a petite price. : )
3. Superga Metallic Sneakers, $60, Tea Collection: Sparkly Italian style for her feet.
4. Bensimon Tennis Elastique Sneakers, $45, Tea Collection: Famous French style for your little guy.
