How to buy gifts for the little people in your life

Is he practical? Is she sporty? Does he like whimsical details? Does she just want to climb trees? You can delight the child in your life and keep mom happy with these tips on buying our shoes this holiday season.

First step….

Choose a style: All of our shoes have soles that are suitable for multiple environments, from playground to party but if you want to drill down and find just the right thing, here are some style pointers and a few recommendations from our customers:

For the Princess…

We have sparkle and shimmer

“This is my daughter’s fourth pair of the Aurora ballet flat. She cannot get enough! This style works with dresses and leggings and adds something special to any outfit. What I appreciate is how long they last—the glitter doesn’t come off, the sole is solid, and the shoe doesn’t show wear and tear until around the time my daughter is growing out of it. Love this one!” Christine H

“Fit well and look amazing. My 6 year old loves the rainbow effect.” Katie P.

Perhaps a holiday red

Perfect for holiday party or festive occasion, Feliz is on our thinner but equally flexible and durable Trac sole. 

Patent is always pretty

Again, fancy on top, very matchable and comfy and practical on our rounded honeycomb sole.

“Love love these💗. They are beautiful for fall!” Courtney M.

For the Sporty

“Great fit and clearly comfy as my daughter chooses these over other shoes all the time.” Kate J.

“This is our second pair of these sneakers. They are so easy to get on and comfortable for my son. They also match most everything! Highly recommend.” Ashley F

And for your every day Mary Jane

“These are comfortable gorgeous shoes that are good for school or for parties. They add a sophisticated accent to outfits. Soles are flexible with a neutral tan color (not as noticeable as white tennis shoes soles), and grab to the different floor surfaces. Perfect for little active fashionistas!” Maria C.

Winter Boots are essentials 

“Cozy, comfortable, and *super* adorable! My daughter isn't big on boots, but she never objects to putting on these. Easy to put on. Excellent quality. Great all-around fit.”
