Sandals

The best ever sandals for kids (boys and girls) have to be from Rileyroos. I discovered Rileyroos too late for my son and his gigantic feet, but from the time I did discover them, I've been a loyal fan. I recommend them to anyone who would listen.

What's so great about them, you say? For one thing, they are excellent for walkers and pre-walkers. The shoes have rubber pads at the bottom giving the child much-needed traction as she or he starts crawling, then cruising, then finally, toddling. Another bonus, the designs are stylish and wonderful. Just fun, practical and carefree for active little things. Perfect for toddler feet!

Another reason: Rileyroos is a family-run business by the nicest, most wonderful people from Maryland, USA. I love to support small business entrepreneurs who conduct themselves in the highest ethical standards both personally and professionally.

I recommend that kids graduate from the ubiquitous slipper-type infant footwear to Rileyroos. TykeThreads carries mostly stuff for little boys, but some of the styles are suitable for girls, as well. (TykeThreads will also take special orders for girls' shoes on request.)

Thanks to Sweetmama.ca for featuring the Rileyroos Chessie sandal in chocolate in their newsletter today! Here's what the sandals look like:
