Well-Heeled Kids

It’s an inevitable occurrence—buying new shoes for our rapidly growing kiddos. And they wear them every day, which is why we’ve decided to both have fun with the experience and choose footwear that can survive a day in the life of our family’s gong show. So we’re kicking up our heels at these two new shops that make shoe shopping fun again.

First up is Whistle Kids, the exclusive Canadian stockist for Australia’s Old Soles shoes (think gold hi-tops). These shoes are built to last longer than an epic scooter ride and bring a smile to our fashion-forward offspring, so all is good. There’s also a fun assortment of designer clothes brands (like Hudson Jeans) in case a splurge is in order.

Shopping at Heel Boy’s new Distillery District location is fun for the whole family (ok, mostly for us) with a range of adult and kids’ footwear. We can pick up a new pair of versatile suede booties while our tykes try on all the spring and summer footwear they need for a season of outdoor fun and indoor play.

High quality and unique to boot—like us.

They just keep growing out of their clothes. Lucky for you, we’ve got 10 more Places to Shop in Toronto for Kids.
