My son isn’t big on change. Especially when it comes to getting a new pair of shoes. So I bought three different pairs while out at Target the other day, hoping one of them would work out. This morning he quickly dismissed two pairs as being too “lumpy and bumpy” and said the third pair was perfect. He wore them to school this morning and said they felt great. This is good news for me, since I have been feeling like such a bad mom, sending him off to school every day in two pairs of socks and shoes a size too big. I was thinking that the new pair looked familiar, then remembered that they looked like some Geox we had tried on a while back. After a little online sleuthing, lookyhere. The one on the left is the Geox Rocket ($54.95 at Nordstrom). The one on the right is the Cherokee Necal, my little guy’s new favorite pair. I’m feeling oh so smug having paid far less at Target.
