Shoe-In
When it comes to kids' shoes, we learn fast. Wear and tear-wise, they've got to be virtually indestructible. Fashion-wise, they've got to conform to kids' very particular sense of style. And they've got to be affordable.
Mia Abbruzzesse, a children's footwear veteran, founded Boston-based Morgan & Milo to provide hip parents with affordable shoes for their equally cool kids. With a decidedly Euro feel, Morgan & Milo offers classic, comfortable kicks. From the adorable CVO sneaker in chocolate suede to the proper Tanner high top in soft grain leather, these shoes (in sizes 6.5 to 12) are all about stylish extras: suede toe caps for added protection, flexible rubber soles for durability and traction, and rugged stitching. For spring, check out the edgy Mary Janes, Oxfords, slip-ons and skimmers in seasonal prints like paisley, Madras, floral and even the ever-so-cool skull and crossbones. Colors like sunshine, aloe, Irish moss and azalea are spot-on for the season.
And don't be nervous about ordering shoes online: The site provides a sizing chart that you can print to measure a child's foot.
Which means you'll feel better about ordering in bulk.
