My big kid loved the color combination and fit of these shoes. They're unique from what a lot of his friends have right now and he's excited to show them off on the first day of school.

Star Runners are still the go-to for my 7 year old and the fact that these were available in our school colors (orange and blue) sent him over the moon. I love that they look like big kid shoes but don't actually have laces that tie...it's the rememb...

Ummmm I actually bought these for myself! I'm an active volunteer at our school and co-chair the Walkathon, so I had to have these cute shoes in our school colors. They're comfortable and the size 7 fits me well (I'm between an 8 and 8.5).

These were a potential alternative to the Star Runners for my 7 year old - but they run just a little bit big. Even though they were both size 3, the Star Runners were a better fit. He loves them though and negotiated keeping them for when his feet g...

As "cleat" season comes back around, I keep these slides on hand to wear when they boys are in the car/come off the field.

We loved these baseball cleats - they were easy for my big kid to get on and off and held up great throughout the season. Definitely durable enough to pass down to little brother.

I like for my kids to have a set of black gym shoes on hand for when they need something a little less flashy, or when it's rainy/muddy out. These have held up really well since last winter and I'm buying another pair to replace the ones we've outgro...

I was looking for a comfortable brown shoe for my son to wear to church and the odd special event that pops up on the calendar and I love the look of these - so does he! They're comfortable and feel like they will hold up well.

These were another option I looked at for a brown shoe, but the Sperry's fit my kiddo's foot a little bit better.

I was so proud of myself for remembering to buy soccer cleats BEFORE we received the first practice email. These fit as expected and are available in lots of sizes.

My son plays flag football on artificial turf for his fall sport - we're excited to give these a try for the season! I worry about foot and ankle health a lot so I'm hoping these help him play safely.

Predators always seem to be my kids' favorite soccer cleats. This year is no different - we tried on several different brands (Mama trying to get a deal) and my 7 year old came back to these. He liked the slick look (4 colors available) and how they ...

I've been a Tree Runners fan for almost 9 years now. I put them through the ringer and they hold up well. I really like this color combination for myself this season!

My mom actually purchased these to go to Europe and I'm tempted to steal them every time I leave her house. They're definitely on my birthday wish list!

Crocs aren't really my thing -- but all of the other kids are wearing them. I saw these on Target and they fit the bill. The kids got their Crocs, I didn't pay a ton. Win win.
