I mentioned that I am a flip flop fanatic. Come summer I live in my flip flops so they have to be stylish and comfortable. Gone are the days of those thin drugstore flip flops that I used to buy in every color and always ended up looking too matchey. They have been replaced by [...]

I love these shoes. I love these shoes. I love these shoes. How’s that for an intro? When my daughter was learning to walk I was introduced to soft sole shoes from Robeez and I loved them. But the shoes I just got for my son from the new Robeez Weekend Collection are phenomenal.
I have [...]

I do not know a mom or dad who wouldn’t benefit from a great pair of tennis shoes. While I know most of us may not be able to spend a lot on a pair of shoes, it is recommended you spend the most you are can afford to ensure you get a great fitting [...]

When Polliwalks were first introduced to me I was angry, because I wish I would have created this type of kid’s shoe. They are beyond cute, but also offer more than just foot protection. Designed in four styles (ducks, lady bugs, gators and frogs) and available in a variety of colors, they certainly mix things [...]

Have you heard about these new Fit Flip Flops? Supposedly they’re all the rave. Although they started in Great Britain they have made their way to the U.S. through Bath & Body Works where you can only order them online.

My kids typically have 2 or 3 pairs of shoes at any given time. Since they grow out of them so quickly, we don’t like to buy them more than that, even if they are inexpensive.
Typically we will take a trip to the Stride Rite outlet store a couple of times a year and just [...]

I know Zappo’s has free shipping. They also have about 8 billion choices. I don’t do as well with so many choices. I end up spending entirely too much time browsing through pages and pages of shoes that might be cute, and then never making a decision.
There is a better online shoe option. If you [...]

Though she grew up through the great depression, my grandmother always made sure she and her children had quality footwear. My own mother is the same way. They often say “You only have two feet and you use them all day long. Cheap shoes are not worth the price you pay in foot health and [...]

Our son received his first pair of real winter boots from his paternal Grandma in early December. I had never seen a pair of boots like this before. They were Stonz, made by Canadian mom-trepreneurs Tracey Von Dehn and Lisa Will.When we opened the package, I was immediately struck by:
(a) How totally freaking adorable they [...]

Robeez aren’t news, are they? Everyone has heard of Robeez’ shoes, or so it seems. But did you know that Robeez is a Canadian company? It all started in 1994 when mom Sandra Wilson was downsized right out of a job. We all love a mom-trepreneur success story, right? Sandra’s [...]

I have very odd feet. They’re not only big, but very wide as well. This makes it very hard to find shoes for special occasions, as most dress shoes do not come in my size, 10.5 EE. When I have a fancy dress type occasion I usually start searching for acceptable shoes weeks in advance, [...]
