When it comes to back-to-school footwear, I’ve learned that it’s better to buy my kids shoes in darker colors because they won’t show dirt as easily. There’s nothing worse than buying a brand new pair of white sneakers only to see marks on them after just one day of wear! My son is pretty hard on shoes, so buying him a quality pair is important because we need them to hold up through lots of wear & tear. He picked out this Nike Tanjun printed pair that he can wear to gym class & on the playground – they have just the right amount of traction & support for all his activities and a graphic modern print that he declared “cool”.
During back-to-school and into the fall, it’s the perfect time to update your sneakers and swap out that traditional white pair for something in a richer, darker hue. Converse has always been a favorite of mine because of their classic style, so this Converse Madison OX pair is great for wearing now with skirts & knit dresses and later in the season with denim & faux leather leggings. They’re the ideal transitional shoe for all your casual weekend looks!
My daughter loves to mix sporty & girly styles together, so she squealed when she saw these Roxy polka dot sneakers…with pink soles! We’d never tried this brand before & she was happy to discover that they have a super-cushioned insole (similar to memory foam) + they’re a slightly wider cut, which is great because she didn’t feel like her toes were being squished when she walked. These also come in a chambray polka dot, classic white & gray linen (which I want next!).
