Vincent Shoes, one of our favorite designers of hip and playful European shoes for children and toddlers has launched their Back to School shoes selection.

At Vincent Shoes, you’ll find a full line of casual shoes, sneakers, dress shoes, indoor shoes, rain boots, winter boots, and every other imaginable type of footwear for children and toddlers, all with a unique Scandinavian sensibility. And you can easily search by size, occasion, gender, and even color.

Vincent Shoes are fashionable, yet sweetly youthful, inspired by both the runway and the darling children who wear these shoes for play.  Even the dress shoes are soft, breathable, and flexible-soled.

We have a pair of the new Astrid Mary Jane style shoes, which are equally at home at a recital or on the playground. These are perfect for an active little girl who prefers feminine styles but can keep up with (or beat) the boys at schoolyard games. The strap is fully lined with velcro, which allows for easy on and off but prevents the strap from coming undone accidentally.  As usual, the detailing makes the shoe, with a rubber toe that will discourage scuffs and stitching around the hearts.

My toddler is more girlie than I ever was, but I feel confident with that the thick, but flexible soles on the Astrid shoes allow her to fulfill her sense of style while providing for proper foot development.

Of course, there are plenty of darling girls’ shoes out there.  Now that I’m about to become a mama to a boy, as well, I love that Vincent also designs stylish and handsome shoes for the often neglected boys market.
