One a Scale of 1 to 10…

*****Updated to announce that Michelle at Life With Three is the lucky winner of the cute shoes!*****

About three years ago my mom gave Cassidy a gift that proved to be priceless.  It was a pair of shoes that I instantly fell head over heels for because they were the one and only pair she could both put on and remove all by herself.  They were a Godsend, my friends, not so much for their appearance, but more in spite of it.  These were the imitation Crocs that, at the time, weren’t as widely available as they are now.  Plastic, fire engine red clogs with holes in them were really not my idea of a fashion statement, but purely for the convenience factor, I learned to love them.

Here we are three years (and a blue, black, pink camo, and white pair) later and those tiny little feet on that girl have finally begun to stretch out.  Yes, Cassidy has worn the same size shoe for about three years.  Many of you probably find that your kids grow out of their shoes before they wear them out, but we’ve never had that problem with Cass.  She’s a teeny little thing and only now has she begun to really sprout up.  The poor girl was walking through the mall and just plopped her little tush down in the middle of the aisle and refused to go a step further because her “toes hurt.”  When I took off the aforementioned red shoes I found blisters on the second toe of each of her feet.  I hadn’t even realized they were getting snug and I felt so bad.

Luckily, earlier in that same week I had received an adorable replacement in the mail.  Take a look at these little babies.

Can you help but love them?  It’s like those cute little green flowers are taunting you to do the love me not game.  And love them I do. 

They’re from the Eleven Collection (a sister company to See Kai Run) Spring/Summer line and they are as cute on Cassidy’s suddenly sprouting feet as they are in this picture.  And they’re made to last with high quality leather and really durable soles.  Take it from a mom of four who has done her fair share of shopping at Payless; these shoes are the real deal.  I love the classic designs and rainbow of colors to choose from.  I venture to guess that you will too.

And if so, you’re in luck because Eleven Collection has graciously offered to give away one pair to a lucky mom.  These would be perfect to help send the little ones back to school in style don’t you think?  To enter, just click your way over to Eleven Collection and have a look at the Spring/Summer line and then pop back over here and leave a comment letting me know (by name) which pair would put a skip in your step.  I’ll announce a winner on Wednesday, July 30th.

  1. Oh. My. Goodness. I love those shoes! For the boys, I teeter between the red and orange ones with the eleven on them, and the blue suedes. For girls, I think I like the orange ones with swirls, but not sure. I seriously like ALL of them! Cute shoes, thanks for the giveaway.

  2. I love the Lucia girl shoes!! They’d be perfect for my niece! They’re all so cute!! I love the Rio too but my nephew’s not old enough to wear these shoes.

  4. those are so cute! i think it’d pink the anya one…but i like orlando for me. :)

  5. I know I am not lucky enough to probably ever win another thing again, but these shoes are so cute. My daughter is only 5 months old so she is too young, but my son, whose feet grow like weeds would look so cute in the Martin navy blue suede shoes. He loves to dance so blue suede shoes would be perfect!

  12. Ok first off, I have to say that Spinal Tap is one of my favorite movies, and it took me a good ten minutes for “get” the title, I just must not have been paying attention, but when I got it, it made me laugh pretty hard. Good one!

    I would say I would like the Martin, they look the “boyest” and I have a boy who loves blue.

    Have a great weekend!

  13. My daughter would look adorable in those that you pictured, “Anya”. Ooh they’re so cute!!

  15. Oh, it HAS to be the Anya. My daughter would flip for those. Great contest! And have a good weekend!

    I have to pick the Anya because my girly girl (although only 13 months old!) is a pink a green girl just like her momma!

    What a great giveaway!

    I’m having one too.

  132. I love the Sasha! And you can see from the photos how well made these shoes are. Thank you.

  134. I adore the Anya. They would look so sweet on my baby girl. Thank you for a super cool giveaway.

  135. My girls’ favorite pair is the adorable, pink and green, “Anya” one. I will have to watch for this brand when I shop for their school shoes next month. Thanks for posting this great give away!

  138. I really like the Anya one too. This is a great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  139. I think Anya is my favorite–but they’re all so cute, it’s hard to choose!

  145. Hi :) Thanks so much for a cool giveaway! My Miss M would love the Pixie pair. Blessings, Q

  146. My daughter would love the Pixie, but my sons would be loving the Martin–what lovely shoes!

  149. Those are cute! Funny story about your daughter.

    I like the Martin’s the most :)

  151. I love the Anya the best. They are all super cute, but those are the cutest n my opinion!! Thanks for the opportunity.

  153. I love the Anya shoe. My grandaughter would look so cute in these. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  157. Hope I’m not too late. I love the sasha – what a great green! Thanks.

  158. I love the Anya set, while I am not a huge fan of pink I have many in my church who are and being the Pastor’s daughter, my daughter gets TONS of pink things (ladies do this b/c they know I would not buy a lot of pink), but I have since found myself buying more and more pink for my daughter and these would be adorable on her. She has got the taking of shoes off down (she’s 16 months old…so no school here yet) but I know she would love these “prippy” (pretty) shoes! :)

  159. How sweet! I could see my girls in the Anya or my little man in the Carlo. Thanks for sharing these with us!

  161. The Rio is my favorite. So fun and different from anything my little one already has.

  163. The Anya ones you posted are my favorites. Like the Lucia too.

  164. Bri would look really cute in the pink ones with green flowers. What a great giveaway! Thanks Darcie :o)

  165. I’d love my daughter to go with bold colours like Eleven Trainer or Pixie. She would definitely love a pair.

  167. They are all so cute but I think I would pick the Pixie as my favorite.

  173. Eleven Trainer and Sasha both make me very happy! :)
    My son would very likely love the Trainer, and I love the Sasha for my little girl. I adore the green cuteness, but they’re not pink, so she may not have the proper love for them, that they clearly deserve. :)
    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  174. My favorites are the Eleven Trainer and the Rio. Those are so cute!!

  176. I have never seen these before…they are so adorable. I have two boys and love the orange/red sneakers. youthpastor (at) juno (dot)com

  177. The Carlo slip on loafers are my favorite. These look super easy to get on and off my son’s feet.

  179. These are adorable! I like the Anya ones like Cassidy has. Too cute. Thanks for the giveaway.

  182. the “Carlo” shoes float my boat.

  183. I guess I like the Anya’s the best. It is a hard choice.

  190. Oh these are adorable! Hard to choose, Pixie- Anya, Pixie-Anya……… I’ll have to go with the Anya’s. Thanks for the contest!

  191. Do not make me pick just one!!!!! I love Pixie & Orlando but if I have to pick just ONE it would be the Anya would be the one……well at least I think so……but oh the PIXIE!
