It seems to run in my genes...and my kids' genes. Feet that are looooong and narrow as can be. And yep, that means that it's tricky find shoes that work well for our long, narrow feet. Especially kids shoes! Almost every pair of shoes that Tate has ever used has been too wide for his foot...and though he's learned to walk and run in them, they sometimes fly off his foot mid-run. Or more often they cause him to trip because they just don't fit right. Sigh. Poor boy. Who wants to be tripping over your own two shoes all day long? I recently came across Soft Star Shoes - a fantastic little shop that HANDMAKES (!!!!) sandals, shoes, boots, and moccasin slippers for the entire family. Soft Star Shoes sent Tate his very own pair of narrow shoes to try out...and they are perfect. The quality is great, they fit amazingly well, and are lightweight, flexible, breathable and tough enough for this running, jumping, dirt-loving boy of mine. :) I love the fact that Soft Star Shoes have created their shoes to be the next best thing to bare feet. We love bare feet in our house now that it's summertime, but get this...the shoes Tate received have a Vibram sole which will mold over time to his foot and will make these shoes an EVEN better fit for him than they already are. Plus, the fact that the shoes mold to your feet instead of your feet trying to fit into the shoe properly, makes shoes from Soft Star Shoes the next best thing to bare feet!
Oh, and did you catch the one sentence at the top?? Soft Star Shoes makes this fabulous line of footwear for the WHOLE family! So mom and dad can treat themselves to some Soft Star Footwear as well! Soft Star Shoes custom makes every single pair of shoes you order, and they can make shoes to fit even the most tricky types of feet! If you don't like any of their color schemes/styles (which are all most adorable btw!) you can even design your own pair of shoes...they've really thought of it all, and let's just say that I was MORE than impressed with the options, service and quality from Soft Star Shoes! :)
