Now that O has mastered the "drunken walk", it's time for her to wear some real shoes. There are obviously tons of options out there, but there are very few brands which offer comfort AND style.

See Kai Run shoes for toddlers and kids are amazing! The designs are contemporary yet appropriate for young children. More importantly, these leather shoes (with pliable rubber soles) are extremely flexible and comfortable--perfect for beginning walkers.

I purchased O's new SKR shoes from Baby Boat. This online store has a wide selection of SKR shoes. They even have shoes from past seasons on sale in many sizes. Be sure to check out the new Sprint/Summer 08 line. Too much cuteness for words!

Baby Boat will ship the shoes to you free of charge. You can even return/exchange without a restocking fee. You can also choose USPS Priority (2 days), USPS Express (1 day) or UPS as your delievery method for a small fee.
