It's Fall! Time for football games, festivals and fun on the playground enjoying the cooler weather. It's also time for the new Autumn line of shoes. Here's a look at some of the coolest, cutest and most unique out there for your preschoolers, toddlers and babies...
Monkey Toes
Monkey Toes are mom-designed shoes that stand out in a crowd. Among their coolest...
Teaching Toes Pound Pals have two different animals on the shoes: a dog on the right and a cat on the left to help tech kids to learn the difference. They also feature curlycue shoe laces so kids can put them on all by themselves. Perfect on both accounts for preschoolers who are at the perfect age to learn directions and are into "doing it all by myself mommy!"
The Glow Bugs series are super cute and perfect for Halloween or everyday. They come in different bug designs and in tennies or maryjanes, all with glow in the dark eyes painted on. My two year old adores wearing her Buzzy Bee shoes.

See Kai Run's fall lineup includes several cute new designs including the Samantha. A black and red shoe with expandable elastic on the top strap makes it easy for preschoolers to put on all by themselves but they're not gonna slip off during recess or on the playground. Great shoe and a super practical color combo to go with everything without being boring. These are the fav shoe of my 3.5 year old.
For those a little smaller comes See Kai Run's Smaller brand. These have the same high quality and fashion of the SKR but are made for littler feet so baby brothers and sisters don't miss out. They feature more flexible soles with non slip patches. Among the cute fall styles is the Marco. It's orange and olive suede is durable and so cute. The perfect non-tennis shoe pair of tennis shoes. Also a good gender neutral choice to be passed on to the next kid.
And for preschoolers check out See Kai Run's sister company for older kids - Eleven. These shoes are built for the roughest playground wear but you wouldn't know it just to glance at them. The Eleven Collection always has the latest in fashionable colors for kids and the shoes are made with top quality construction. One of their newest shoes for the fall is the Katina. An absolutely adorable shoe for girls in practical brown suede with red leather accents, stitching and soles. They have a nice wide strap with velcro tabs for easy taking on and off by kids all by themselves. Find out how to win a pair later this week!
This fall Pediped has 30 new styles for toddlers, babies and preschoolers available in sizes for newborns up through 6 years old. Among them, the Josh Is a stylish leather sneaker for all seasons in a traditional royal, sky blue and white. As always pediped is top quality and hard to beat for practical fashionable shoes that last. Pedipeds have been awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association ‘Seal of Acceptance’ for "contributing to better foot health," according to their website.
Kenneth Cole Reaction's Under My Rose sequin tennis shoes are the height of safe fashion... That's because they look like they're covered with super sparkly silver sequins made for a princess who likes to hit the playground BUT they're not. They have a sequin design instead that won't come off in rough play not when pulled on by curious tots. That means no accidentally stuck in little noses or being swallowed.
Livie and Luca's Nela's Tassels get so many compliments and are definitely not a shoe every girl on the block or daycare is gonna have, but they should! Polka dots without being cheesy and fun dangling tassels equal precious. My two year old has the black and white color combo. These are our first pair of Livie and Luca shoes, but they won't be the last. Really cute shoes and nicely made too!
