Shoes are a tricky thing to talk about – I mean, just how exciting can a pair of school shoes be? Well… if they have Lego bricks on them, apparently very exciting :)
The collaboration between Kickers and Lego has meant that for the first time ever the 7yr old is very very VERY excited to put his shoes on in the morning – and to keep them clean too. Oh yes – you heard me. He cleans them. Without prompting.
There is a huge range of colours and styles (*whispers* a few of which are, quite frankly, a bit ugly) and some of them are very very lovely. You have the traditional Kickers styled boots and shoes, and the option of laces or Velcro. I wish more companies would give us the option of laces – call me old-fashioned, but how can my children ever learn to tie them if they can’t get shoes with laces? Plus I always think they fit better.
I love the red infants boot, and the girls one bar shoe is so pretty. But in the interests of economy I went for plain old ordinary black school shoes (dull, but true). But it’s okay, they’re not really dull at all – the Velcro versions have have subtle lego bricks on the end of the tabs, and the lace ups have fab coloured lego eyelets – and multi-coloured soles. Gorgeous!
Best of all, they are Kickers. So that means they are perfect childrens shoes: chunky, supportive, well made, leather, and tough enough to withstand the playground batterings.
It’s going to be hard to go back to any other kind of shoe, to be honest.
These particular boots are no longer available on the Kickers website but click here to see the many other wonderful styles they currently stock
