XOLO Shoes
XOLO shoes
Being a teacher for 15 years, I have discovered that most children have a unique sense of style. I've seen kids come to school with 2 different socks on or wearing tops and bottoms that just didn't look like a match. However, many schools have adopted a uniform policy in which kids aren't as free to express themselves in the outfits they wear. On the bright side, many uniform policies allow kids to choose their own footwear.
As a teacher and a mom of a child with a unique sense of style, I was very excited to learn about XOLO shoes. This unique company offers shoes that come in (mis)matched pairs. Whatever the pattern is on the front of the right shoe, that is the same pattern that is on the back of the left shoe and vice-versa. The shoes come in a variety of colorful patterns and fun designs that will please even the pickiest fashionista.
XOLO shoes are made for boys and girls and come in a variety of sizes as small as toddler shoes which come in a slip-on sneaker and rain boot. Youth sizes offer lace-up sneakers, slip-on sneakers and rain boots. There are also women's sizes in the lace-up sneakers. In addition to shoes XOLO also makes backpacks that match many of their shoe patterns. This is perfect for kids that like to have coordinating accessories.
These shoes are well made and run true to size. However, if you have a child with a very wide foot, the slip-on varieties may be too narrow.
XOLO shoes range in price from $29.99-$49.99 and can be purchased through Target's online store and through the XOLO website. Currently the website is offering a great back to school deal of "buy one, get one half off" and they offer a $3.99 flat shipping rate.
