Classy Mommy is a long time fan of the modern and original designs from Vincent Shoes. Our latest fave is their Frog Rain Boots. These rubber boots are perfect for splashing around on a wet spring day and have a reasonable price tag for high style that you’re not likely to see again and again on every other child in the neighborhood.
Kyle, 16 months, is literally crazy for these elephant patterned sneaks. Classy Mommy is a fan of Vincent Shoes each season for their original styles – and these jungle shoes are no exception. Easy velcro tabs making slipping them on and off fast moving toddlers easy for Mom too. Kyle adores the elephants and feels so proud wearing these shoes. Somehow he knows they are "cool" and "hip" and not likely to be worn by every other kid on the block. He constantly begs to go outside and grabs his shoes from our laundry room himself to let us know he is desperate to get out the door too and wear his sneaks. Vincent also has flamingo patterned sneaks in pink for girls and a black pair patterned in horses that would be hip for either girls or boys. Classy Mommy Approved. For more information, click

With all different colors and designs, your kids will definitely find a Polliwalk style that they love. We’ve had a chance to try out these shoes and our favorite part about them – besides the comfort and deep heel cup that provide an excellent fit versus many of their competitors – is their patent pending "footprinter" sole of the shoe! Kids will love to step in mud, sand, or dirt and leave their wacky animal footprint behind! For more information, click
Crocs. For Kyle, a toddler who loves the outdoors, these spiderman crocs signify his escape to freedom. For Mom, these Crocs are like my new best friend because I finally found a pair of shoes ultra easy to slip on my 18 month old’s wiggling body in all of 5 seconds. We first discovered Crocs when I bought a pair for Kenzie, now almost 4, when she was also 18 months old. I felt the same relief with these comfy bright rubber shoes for her as well. I’ve never worn adult Crocs so I can’t attest to the comfort but I do know that just about every kid in the world seems to rave about them so one of these days I’ll need to invest in my own pair. Kenzie and now Kyle sometimes get tripped up in Crocs if they’ve just sized up to the next size (since they are sized to fit 2 shoe sizes vs just 1 size) but the cool factor coupled with the ease of getting them on and off along with being entirely waterproof make Crocs our go to summer shoe. This Cayman style croc is my favorite too. Since, the Cayman is not an open toed shoe, we can use them with socks for school or winter time activities making the life of the shoe last for the better part of a year given the sizing. Almost unheard of given how fast my kids feet grow! And little Kyle is seriously proud of these bright blue shoes and he adores the little Spiderman Marvel Hero featured on his pair.

Classy Mommy has been a fan of Pediped for years. I always loved their original soft soled shoes and whimsical designs, but when they introduced their line of Flex products a few years ago for our little running toddlers and preschoolers they won me over forever. This spring brings some gorgeous sandals for girls to the mix in trendy silver and bronze tones. You can get those new colors in strappy sandals or in revised version of their classic Gisele shoe but as a sandal with bronze and silver polka dots. Too cute! Kyle models his new sneakers here which coincidentally are called the Kyle. They look like lace up sneaks but have a velcro strap so are easy for both Mom and the tykes. If you’ve never bought Pediped before, they don’t sell half sizes but instead include a "shoe fitter" insert that can be used in each shoe to give your child the perfect fit. I love this feature as it makes the shoes last for more than just one season as I can really buy a shoe that grows with my my child’s sprouting toes. Note: Samples were provided for review.

Can you stand how cute Robeez designs have become since the company became a brand owned by Stride Rite? Truly, these shoes are enough to really get that biological clock start ticking or make you consider baby # 3 just for the chance to adorn your own bundle with these stinking cute booties and shoes. Priced at $35, I’m loving their Moose Booties this season. Aren’t they cute? They also have monsters and other groovy designs plus the classic little Robeez that remind me of mini Uggs.Take a peek at our video to see the Moose Booties in person. (Note: This sample was provided for free when I attended an event with Stride Rite to preview their 2010-2011 collections this past summer) For more information, click
