Little dude and I went shoe shopping but he has such specific demands that we came home empty handed. I don’t want to haul him to every shoe store in the city so I’m researching to find what he wants. So far I am having no luck.
I’ve heard of but not yet researched some laces that don’t actually tie but still help keep shoes on, I think they’re all twisty?
I recently heard about Zappos Adaptive, when I look at their site one of the first options I see is Easy On/Off. Not sure if Canada shipping is a thing though, or color options.
Are we open to those weird stretchy laces that a friend does once and then the shoes are slip on? Are we open to dying blindingly white orthotic shoes to match our prom dress?
Stretchy laces mean the shoes don’t open up wide to put the foot in, you have to shove your foot in. I was watching him try to shove his foot into no-laces stretchy shoes like these
Daisy stepped on my pinkie finger while I was napping and I think it might be broken, but it’s very numb so I can’t really tell. I want a properly working nervous system, please.
I bet Vans would be super easy for a cobbler to make velcro straps for! Or shoemaker person. I’m not actually sure a cobbler is the right person and I feel like I read all about the differences years ago on a Fluevog blog post, haha.
Thanks for the reminder that I need to purchase similar for my own kid. He has the same taste in shoes as your kid, but thankfully there are more options in Toddler sizes.
My kid has custom painted converse in sparkly purple with space and glittery white and pink unicorns on them. His girlfriend and I are chronically jealous.
I got these Merrell sneakers with velcro a couple months ago and wear them for almost everything now except sandal time. The Sage/Olive color option has a hot pink strap. Is that a sufficient quantity of hot pink for his taste? https://www.steepandcheap.com/merrell-alpine-cross-sneaker-womens
Magic thread strikes again! Even when I didn’t post in this thread! We were about to buy cafe string lights, and then I found some in a free pile. Fingers crossed they work.
An Art. Or technically a print of An Art since the real thing was both out of my price range and not available anymore anyway. Per the website there is a print available but I’ve gotten no response about sizing…I’ve been thinking about this for a while so very much hoping what they come back with something that will work in the space.
