These children's shoes go to Eleven
If you need another reason to be happy it's spring, just check out Eleven's new Spring line of kids' shoes. A sort of "big sister/big brother" to our fave See Kai Run, Eleven offers children's shoes in bigger-kid sizes 9 to 3. I've gushed about Eleven's footwear before -- I love the combination of cool kid-appropriate fashion with run-and-jump rubber bottoms.

Take the boys' Caper shoe, in olive-and-gray suede nubuck colors that will look great on my son when he's dressed up for Easter but will also be at home on the dusty playground. Plus -- bonus! -- the sturdy velcro close makes them easy enough for my 4-year-old to put on himself. My daughter is eyeing the shiny Astrid mary-janes, with their silver-and-white colors and a closed toe. Knowing her, in a couple of months she'll just pull these comfy shoes on over her bare feet.

I also cannot wait to grab a few pairs of their kids' sandals, which look sturdy for a mad dash through the park, but will let my kids' feet breathe as the weather heats up. Yes, I said "weather heats up"-- it's going to happen. Pinky swear. -Christina

Find wonderful children's shoes on the Eleven Shoes website.


Congratulations to Lisa K, lucky winner of a pair of Eleven Shoes!
