#64 Walnut Children's Shoes

Children's shoes are a bit ridiculous.
It's so hard to find nice shoes that are lightweight, with a somewhat flexible sole (that doesn't wear straight through after a bit of use), that little "big kids" can put on & off themselves.
More than anything, shoes with a price tag reflective of the fact that they will be grown out of in a matter of months.
Master C has enormous feet & goes up a size every couple of months, with that in mind I have a basic rule to not spend over $30 on a pair of his shoes.

Hello Walnut Melbourne!  Tennis shoes?
   
Cruise shoes?
   
Euro Plimsole?
   
Euro Knot Mary Jane? Classic Mary Jane's?
   
Euro Elastic? Ballet Flats? Euro Zip Top?
   
All of these walnut shoes have a flexible rubber sole, & easy wash canvas top.
Master C has the first pair pictured. We do a LOT of walking & they are yet to come even close to holes in the soles as many of his other pairs have. They are also very comfortable, i know because I have an adults pair exactly the same!
They come in many more colours than those that I have shown as well as additional styles.
Each of these pairs pictured only costs $29.95, think of all the money you'll save on kids shoes. Not to mention how cute they are!

I also like these gumboots although I've yet to see them in store. They are 'fur' lined rubber with a gator & adjustable toggle. These are a little bit more at $39.95 but since they don't have to fit as snuggly to begin with you can buy slightly larger to last longer.
   
They're available online from Walnut Melbourne & also in many stores including David Jones.
