Sturdy Shoes for Fearless Feet

By

If you have a toddler, you know what I mean by “fearless feet.” Those little feet will run over any obstacle and into any danger at full-speed. Toddlers are courageous explorers and they need high-quality shoes to help them keep their tread on unsteady ground.

Stride Rite offers those kind of shoes. For example, if you’re looking for a shoe for every-day outdoor adventures, you might want to consider one of my two favorites…

There’s these little Sportie Slip-Ons in Pink…Sturdy Shoes for Fearless Feet 1

Or these little Sprout tennies in Brown/Sandstone…
Sturdy Shoes for Fearless Feet 2



There are lots of other styles to choose from as well, whether your little one is a pre-walker, new walker, or full out runner (boy/girl).

WIN IT! One winner will receive a “surprise” pair of Stride Rite shoes. That’s right! You’ll provide the size and gender (and you can request casual or dress) and Stride Rite will select a shoe for your little one. To enter, simply leave and comment and your e-mail address on this post prior to Tuesday, Jan. 22, at midnight. The winner will be contacted and announced on Wed., Jan. 23. * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

* UPDATE * The winner is #316 hammielover1. Congratulations!
