One a Scale of 1 to 10…

*****Updated to announce that Michelle at Life With Three is the lucky winner of the cute shoes!*****

About three years ago my mom gave Cassidy a gift that proved to be priceless.  It was a pair of shoes that I instantly fell head over heels for because they were the one and only pair she could both put on and remove all by herself.  They were a Godsend, my friends, not so much for their appearance, but more in spite of it.  These were the imitation Crocs that, at the time, weren’t as widely available as they are now.  Plastic, fire engine red clogs with holes in them were really not my idea of a fashion statement, but purely for the convenience factor, I learned to love them.

Here we are three years (and a blue, black, pink camo, and white pair) later and those tiny little feet on that girl have finally begun to stretch out.  Yes, Cassidy has worn the same size shoe for about three years.  Many of you probably find that your kids grow out of their shoes before they wear them out, but we’ve never had that problem with Cass.  She’s a teeny little thing and only now has she begun to really sprout up.  The poor girl was walking through the mall and just plopped her little tush down in the middle of the aisle and refused to go a step further because her “toes hurt.”  When I took off the aforementioned red shoes I found blisters on the second toe of each of her feet.  I hadn’t even realized they were getting snug and I felt so bad.

Luckily, earlier in that same week I had received an adorable replacement in the mail.  Take a look at these little babies.

Can you help but love them?  It’s like those cute little green flowers are taunting you to do the love me not game.  And love them I do. 

They’re from the Eleven Collection (a sister company to See Kai Run) Spring/Summer line and they are as cute on Cassidy’s suddenly sprouting feet as they are in this picture.  And they’re made to last with high quality leather and really durable soles.  Take it from a mom of four who has done her fair share of shopping at Payless; these shoes are the real deal.  I love the classic designs and rainbow of colors to choose from.  I venture to guess that you will too.

And if so, you’re in luck because Eleven Collection has graciously offered to give away one pair to a lucky mom.  These would be perfect to help send the little ones back to school in style don’t you think?  To enter, just click your way over to Eleven Collection and have a look at the Spring/Summer line and then pop back over here and leave a comment letting me know (by name) which pair would put a skip in your step.  I’ll announce a winner on Wednesday, July 30th.

  1. Oh. My. Goodness. I love those shoes! For the boys, I teeter between the red and orange ones with the eleven on them, and the blue suedes. For girls, I think I like the orange ones with swirls, but not sure. I seriously like ALL of them! Cute shoes, thanks for the giveaway.

  2. bunny

    I love the Lucia girl shoes!! They’d be perfect for my niece! They’re all so cute!! I love the Rio too but my nephew’s not old enough to wear these shoes.


  3. Nice shoes! I’m sold on those pink ones with the green flowers :)


  4. those are so cute! i think it’d pink the anya one…but i like orlando for me. :)


  5. I know I am not lucky enough to probably ever win another thing again, but these shoes are so cute. My daughter is only 5 months old so she is too young, but my son, whose feet grow like weeds would look so cute in the Martin navy blue suede shoes. He loves to dance so blue suede shoes would be perfect!


  6. I love the “Carlo” ….great give away.

  7. Brooke

    Definitely the pink ones with the green flowers! :)

  8. Me

    Well, I like the Pixie reminds me of Cass:)


  9. Do they make them in adult size 10?

    ;)

    Just kidding!!

    (…sort of)

    I’m digging the Anya’s…a nd I think My Girl would too!


  10. Those shoes are stinkin’ adorable! Too bad I’m not a mom.


  11. Oh, the Pixie is too cute. I can just picture them on my little one’s feet.

    Thanks, Darcie!


  12. Ok first off, I have to say that Spinal Tap is one of my favorite movies, and it took me a good ten minutes for “get” the title, I just must not have been paying attention, but when I got it, it made me laugh pretty hard. Good one!

    I would say I would like the Martin, they look the “boyest” and I have a boy who loves blue.

    Have a great weekend!


  13. My daughter would look adorable in those that you pictured, “Anya”. Ooh they’re so cute!!


  14. While the Pixie style is cute, I am in love with the Anya style (the same one you show above). Too cute! Out of curiosity, do they run true to size?


  15. Oh, it HAS to be the Anya. My daughter would flip for those. Great contest! And have a good weekend!


  16. Yah, I definitely think the “Anya” pair are adorable. My little gal is starting Kindergarten in September and I could just see her going back to school in either those or the orange “Pixie” shoes. So cute! Thanks for the giveaway!


  17. Well *I* like the Pixie, but I’m betting my girls would pick the Anya. Very cute!


  18. I am loving the Rios and wishing they came in my size!


  19. Loving the Anya’s but A’s feet are a bit too small…could put them away for next year, however, as she’s already a 4!

    Too cute, love Portland, too.


  20. Only wish they had my size. :) Love all of them, but think Carlo would look adorable on Jake.

  157. Laura

    Hope I’m not too late. I love the sasha - what a great green! Thanks.


  158. I love the Anya set, while I am not a huge fan of pink I have many in my church who are and being the Pastor’s daughter, my daughter gets TONS of pink things (ladies do this b/c they know I would not buy a lot of pink), but I have since found myself buying more and more pink for my daughter and these would be adorable on her. She has got the taking of shoes off down (she’s 16 months old…so no school here yet) but I know she would love these “prippy” (pretty) shoes! :)

  159. Jayne

    How sweet! I could see my girls in the Anya or my little man in the Carlo. Thanks for sharing these with us!

  173. Eleven Trainer and Sasha both make me very happy! :)
    My son would very likely love the Trainer, and I love the Sasha for my little girl. I adore the green cuteness, but they’re not pink, so she may not have the proper love for them, that they clearly deserve. :)
