So typically when I go shopping for ANYTHING I try to leave my 15 month old behind. Alas when it comes to his footwear he must tag along. At such a young age he has to be fitted and see if he can properly walk in a shoe. An ill fitting shoe on a little one can really mess up their feet, growth etc.
Anyways shopping with him is a royal pain. He attempts to yank down every display in site. Throws his crackers on the ground and just generally makes A LOT of noise. Luckily there is Kixx. For starters the huge bonus is it's a free standing store in the Park Towne Shopping Center. This is a huge bonus because I don't have to find a place to park, walk a mile to get into the building and then walk another mile until I get to the store I'm seeking.
Another huge bonus is the VERY understanding staff. They don't mind or seem to be bothered that my son is bound and determined to take every shoe off the display and put it somewhere else. They don't seem to mind his cracker crumbs or loud unnecessary squawking. They are super helpful and are not EVER in a rush to get me out of the store to get rid of my kid.
They have all the great kid shoe brands, Stride Rite, See Kai Run, Rainbows, Uggs, Toms. Another bonus is if they don't have what you want they of course will order it for you. But the real BONUS, when they call to tell you it's arrived they ask when you will be coming by to pick it up and the BRING it out to your car so you don't have to unload the 15 month old octopus you wrangled into the car seat in the first place.
Super helpful, loads of shoe choices and best of all they LIKE kids. A fabulous experience all the way around
