Back to School with SKECHERS

Thanks to SKECHERS for the awesome back to school shoes featured in this post!

Back to school shopping was something I looked forward to at the end of every summer. My daughter is wearing a uniform to school this year, so we were able to get the clothing part (aka the hardest part) of the shopping done in a snap. However, she was given the freedom to choose some active shoes to wear with her uniform. She wanted to choose some shoes that show off her personal style, and I was hoping to find something that will last throughout the school year...

Of course, her first pick was the SKECHERS Twinkle Toes Shuffles Magic Madness shoes! She had some really cute Twinkle Toes that she wore last year and loved them. These pair are her favorite colors - purple, pink and teal, with a whole lot of sparkle. The mix of glitter and tie-dye effect is a combination that just can't be beat.

Not only are the shoes stylish for this little fashionista, but there are some awesome features to the shoes. The soles are high quality and comfortable, which means that they are going to hold up as long as her feet fit in them! The Twinkle Toes effect is always a favorite feature to girls everywhere, but during class, you can turn off the lights with the push of a button.

High top shoes were always a problem for me growing up as I would try to stuff my foot in and end of folding the back over, or getting the tongue squished down into the shoe. These shoes have a bright pink zipper down the inner side of the shoe to give those feet a little extra room to get them on. It's also been quite the time saver since she can usually leave the shoelaces tied and then can slip them on and off using just the zipper!

The other pair she chose was the SKECHERS Skech-Air Laser Lite shoes. These are perfect for kids that will be on their feet a lot and keeping active. They are incredibly light and come in a variety of colors. I kind of want a pair for myself now...

These shoes don't light up like the Twinkle Toes, but they do have some really great features! The laser-printed fabric is soft yet stabilizing to keep feet where they're supposed to be. They also ventilate quite well to keep feet dry! Air pillow pockets on the sole and memory foam on the inside of the shoe really keep her feeling like she's "walking on a trampoline that is softer than air!" Oh, kids are funny...

Have you found any great shoes lately? What are your kids wearing to school?
