I do like my children to have a good amount of creative licence with their selections of clothes, toys, movies, music—and apparently shoes. While I did try to direct Quinn toward the more robust, hiking, neutral styles, these are the two pairs he chose.
The Stride Rite/Nickelodeon Slimers (model name “Snot Rocket”), and the high-gloss, candy apple red GEOX which disgust me even more than the Slimers. I’m not sure what kind of reaction these will get from the kids at school, but I’m willing to give them a chance. I encouraged Quinn to declare the Snot Rockets his outdoor shoes, to take best advantage of the glow-in-the-dark feature, and save what I’m dubbing the “Disco Spiderman” pair for the classroom. That way, honestly, I don’t have to see them, and might even forget they exist.
Wow...never seen anything like those! They are "fun" looking though!!
ReplyDeleteyou know, I kind of like those. But I know what you mean about shoes with things one them, like the Spider man. I did a layout about a pair of transformer shoes my son had to have around age 3. I kept telling him it wasn't a good way to use our money and that they were tacky. His response "But Momma, I like Tacky"
ReplyDeleteSo cute. He got the shoes.
