Simple Shoes Simply Awesome

There is no doubt my toddler is a girl. She dresses up with outfits, costumes, fake jewelry, hand bags, tiaras and purses galore. You’ll even find her stepping into my husband’s combat boots, too. Whatever she can get her hands on, it’s on her in some costume-like fashion.

I had no idea how addicted to shoes she was until we were given a pair to try, Simple® Shoes called the Doodle in pink. She slept in them she loves them so much.

Simple® Shoes is an eco-friendly company with a mission – to provide stylish yet sustainable shoes for adults and children using recyclable and sustainable materials. (Does anyone hear angels singing, or harps playing?) Their brand new toddler collection just launched and features eco-friendly washable suede, certified organic cotton lining and non-marking outer soles (among many other things). My favorite part is how passionate they are about using sustainable materials. And, they’re freakin’ adorable, it hurts to love them so much. Lookie!

Simple Shoes - Doodle in Pink {Swoon} Are they not the cutest darn things??

My daughter immediately snatched the box out of my hands and put them on lickity split, and showed me “Wook, mommy! Pitty shoes!”

Simple Shoes - Look Mom! And off she went. They never came off. Normally we ask our children to take off their shoes when they enter the house. No way Jose! She had to keep them on. My husband had to P-R-Y them off of her, in tears, screaming, to get her in the bath tub that night. (him, not her. I kid.. maybe…) Sorry hubs.

Smiley Doodle Did I mention she slept in them? Yes, after the bath and pajamas being put on, the shoes went on, too.

Next day she wakes and immediately goes to DEFCON 5 because one fell off in her sleep. Oh my goodness, she was a wreck until it was put back on. It took an extra cup of coffee that morning to wrangle her into clothes before affixing the shoes to her feet, permanent-like. Schwoo! But damn, she’s so fricken happy when they’re on. Like, scary-happy. Chuckie-kind-of-happy.

As soon as she got them on, off she went. Again. On today’s agenda – bike riding! Super-powered toddler with her mighty pink eco-friendly shoes, giggling maniacally in the driveway, peddling herself on her bike. That was her, alright.

Simple Shoes Bike Ride I just have to show you how easy they are to put on, too. My daughter’s always been a pretty independent kid. These shoes help her maintain that. You can hear her admonishing me for helping her snag the tongue of the shoe out, she was determined to not let me touch her at all!
