How do you keep a busy toddler happy? It's an age-old question, isn't it? Every parent wants their child to be happy, and for my kids, a lot of their happiness depends on their comfort level. They're not really high maintenance kids, they just come by the comfort thing honestly. Their mom hates to be uncomfortable. Over the years, I've learned that along with apparel, comfortable and well-made shoes are everything, though they're not always easy to find.

Comfortable Shoes for Little Walkers: Jack & Lily

Jack & Lily offer an array of affordable, stylish shoes for your little ones!

Sometimes I look at the baby and toddler shoes that are on the market today and just shake my head. Why are their shoes being modeled after a style that a grown woman would wear? What happened to kids being kids, being comfortable, and running and around in shoes that wouldn't slip off or cause them to trip and fall? I was baffled when I saw pointed toe fashion flats for toddlers in a local retail store. Not safe, not secure, and not comfortable.

Jack & Lily is one of my top go-to's for infant and toddler shoes. This well-known kids' footwear brand was created by (mom) Brenda, and named after her two precious little ones (Jack and Finn- turns out, doctors told Brenda she was pregnant with a girl, but they were wrong- so Lily became Finn in real life, though Lily was the name Brenda had chosen for a baby girl!). Tired of the lack of stylish, safe shoes for little ones, Brenda knew she could do better and began to craft her own leather infant and toddler shoes.

Today, Jack and Lily offers tons of fantastic soft soled leather shoes for little walkers, and strives to promote a Healthy Feet initiative.

Everyday Style for All of Life's Little Adventures

These adorable Aria (White) Shoes were the perfect style to pair with a sweet spring dress!

I'm not a fan of kids shoes that can only be worn a few times before they're outgrown. I'm a mom on a budget, and don't have money to basically throw away. Multi-purpose shoes are practical and Jack & Lily knows how to design cute Mary Jane style shoes for girls that can be worn with just about anything.

The Aria shoes were a perfect choice for Easter!

These classic white Mary-Janes feature a sweet little bow detail. Individually hand-crafted with breathable, genuine leather and premium, non-toxic materials (plus Jack & Lily’s signature Natural-flex rubber sole), My Shoes feature an industry-defining 3 millimeters of cushioning to support a child’s tiny sole and ankle. Velcro closures make My Shoes easy to put on, and they stay on – an absolute must for the busiest of little bodies! Perfect for indoor or outdoor. Packaged in an award-winning, premium gift box.

These cuties are so adorable! We went with a size 24-30 mo. S is 2 years old, and though they're a little roomy, she'll be able to wear these all summer long!

Stylish Sneaks for Busy Little Bodies

Perfect for playdates & shadow-chasing!

Finding the right pair of sneakers for my active girl hasn't been easy. We've tried a couple of brands that we've purchased in retail stores, and they've been ill-fitting clunkers, which have caused S to stumble or trip. At two years old, she's a great walker, but still needs to be able to feel the ground while being balanced and protected.

The Gisela trainers are perfectly adorable, and practical. S absolutely loves these shoes. She's even mastered putting them on and taking them off by herself (thank you awesome design!). They grip, instead of slip, and give S the comfort she craves. S wears these sneaks everywhere- from day school to the park. The cute lilac and light pink colors also up their versatility, allowing us to style them with a variety of pieces in S' wardrobe.

Sneaks with PJs first thing in the morning! If this isn't love, I don't know what is!

These on-trend lilac and mauve trainers are fun, comfy, and so versatile! Individually hand-crafted with breathable, genuine leather and premium, non-toxic materials (plus Jack & Lily’s signature Natural-flex rubber sole), My Shoes feature an industry-defining 3 millimeters of cushioning to support a child’s tiny sole and ankle. Velcro closures make My Shoes easy to put on, and they stay on – an absolute must for the busiest of little bodies! Perfect for indoor or outdoor. Packaged in an award-winning, premium gift box.
