There are just too few options for those who want to choose the kind of clothes, shoes and accessories that encourages kids to be kids and doesn’t send the message that they should already be small adults. There is of course a lot of products with various Disney characters, but other than that, there are unbelievably few options.

A good example is a little baby’s feet, the first shoes should be great and memorable, but what is so special about tiny replicas of adult Adidas shoes for example, besides the price that is? If you really want something special that is memorable, comfy, cute and most importantly something out of a kid’s fantasy, Sassy Shoes would be a great place to start looking. They offer comfortable baby shoes with a soft sole and hand painted non-toxic decorations all over the shoe, even the sole has a small decoration. The decorations are brightly colored with motifs that appeal to kids. Some of their cute themes are Puppy Love (picture), Little Racer (with a bright red race car), Peaches and Cream (green and pink flower theme) and Smooth Sailing (boy or girl sailor theme).

Each pair of shoes comes packed in a mini paint pail.
