Back to School Shoes for Kids

It’s hard to believe, especially with the heat wave that is upon us this week, but the start to school is just around the corner. Since we are traveling for several weeks in August, I have already started to shop for our back to school items including new backpacks and lunch boxes & of course, a few new clothes for back to school. One thing that the kids look forward to each year are some brand new sneakers for their first day of school!

This year, the kids couldn’t be more excited to wear their new sneakers from Stride Rite, the Leepz sneaker. These sneakers have been instant favorites in our house and the kids can’t wait to wear them on the playground in September. These shoes not only look cool, but there are so many awesome features that the kids love.

First of all, the Stride Rite Leepz sneakers light up with every step. This not only excites my youngest child but my seven year old gets excited about his new shoes that light up! One of their favorite things to do right now is run outside with their Leepz on their feet, chasing lightening bugs right when the sun sets and the moon pops out.

These shoes are called Leepz for a reason, because your kids can really leap with these shoes on your feet. With a high rebound footbed, the shoe gives extra spring to each step and the kids feel like they are bouncing around. These shoes are made to empower kids to be bolder and jump higher! Other great features include the lightweight midsole for max flexibility and the mesh anti-stink lining.

Since we are talking about leaping into a new school year, we wanted to share a few of our favorite back to school posts that we have shared over the years.
