You might still be shaking the snow or mud from your boots after Christmas, but as we head into January, the stores are showing off their spring
and summer ranges!
For childrens' shoes, Start-rite are fusing trends for feminine prints with mismatch kitsch. For dainty toes, there are beautiful models in pink,
bougainvillea and pale green. These elegant shades add a touch of class for those who don't always want their little ones to be breezing about in
brash bright colours.
BUT!!! If your very own cheeky girl is the kind of little lady who does prefer something as loud as her personality, Start-rite will be rolling out
designs in bolder contrasting patterns and colours to tie in with the fashion for funky 70s boho chic.
For the boys, the trend is more towards the intrepid: khaki and camouflage will feature in a range of shoes suited to the outdoor life, while sporty
styles in summer brown and summer blue are set for beach and surf days.
For babies, Start-rite's fully flexible, breathable ranges are always crafted with pre-walker needs in mind. For boys, there is the Tickle Tot shoe,
with a sporty sole, and protection at the front and back. The leather section wraps under the middle of the shoe so that it fits each little foot
snugly.
For little girls, the Baby Cakes first sandal has a leather lining and adjustable fastening so that it fits your child better.
Baby Cakes is available in sugar pink, white or marine, and comes with a matching gingham trim. The chaps' sandals are ideal for the casual action
boy (!), playfully called Beach Bum.
