Walk, Walk, Waddle, Waddle

Spring has finally sprung. It's time to pack away those snow boots and outfit your children in the latest fashions for feet. I've found a pair of shoes that are not only functional (they can be washed), but are also fun for kids to wear: Polliwalks.


These kids' shoes come in sizes 4-13, 1, 2. There are four animals to choose from: Gator, Ladybug, Duck, and Frog and come in vibrant colors such as lime, lilac, navy, fushia, lemon, orange, cherry, and army.

My daughter has the lemon yellow duck Polliwalks. They are quite easy for her to put on and take off. And do you want to know what's cool? When she walks through water or on sand, she leaves duck foot prints behind.


If you are looking for fun and functional shoes for your young child this summer, these just might fit the bill (no pun intended!).
