My son is rough on his shoes. Really rough. He’s a boy, and he’s active and never stops moving until he konks out at night. His clothes and shoes take a beating, and they need to be rugged. Enter TEVA. We’ve had great luck with Teva shoes holding up until he grows out of them. He loves this brand and asks for it by name. The Kimtahs are tough and they look great. I love the toggle closure as opposed to laces; they’re quick and easy, and I don’t have to worry about him tripping over shoe laces that he’s in too big a hurry to tie. The orange loop in the back help with getting them on, and add some nice color contrast, as well as the orange in the toggle lace.
They’re waterproof, with a special membrane to seal out water, so they withstand the rain, and my kid can’t resist a puddle. And I don’t want him to, puddles are fun! Wool socks help with that too. Anyway–the Kimtahs are built for hard core wear and daily life. Find them HERE.
