Eleven Collection: Great Kids Shoes for Fall Review + Giveaway

No back to school fashion round-up would be complete without featuring some great shoes for kids. And, if your little ones are anything like mine, they are tough on shoes and require some styles that wear well, provide support and look great all at the same time. Eleven Collection shoes are just that – functional, kid-appropriate and uber-stylish.

About Eleven Collection

Our mission is to create wonderful shoes for little travelers who make each step an adventure. Based in the Northwest, Eleven combines quality footwear with independent style and modern accents. Made with attention and care for the journey that happens every day, our shoes don’t have a break-in period. All of our shoes feature artisan craftsmanship and city-chic style, making them perfect and functional for every occasion.

Boys Shoes for Fall

Eleven Collection’s new styles for fall feature many classic styles with a twist. For example, we received the Eamon in Brown for my 3.5 year old son. The shoe is a simple brown “trainer”-style shoe with with swanky sand-colored suede accents. To be honest, the photos of the shoe don’t do them justice. When they arrived, I literally squealed because they look so great. I love the Eamon, in particular, because it has the classic look of a lace up shoe with the ease of velcro. In other words, they look super cool (a little retro, even) and my son can put them on himself.

The shoes do more than look good. They are made of premium materials, including leather uppers and a flexible leather sole. Just holding them you can tell they are well padded around the collar and insole – and my son reports they are comfortable. He’s worn them with no argument, so that must mean they feel good because he would let me know otherwise!

In addition to the Eamon, there are some other great shoes for boys this fall.

Girls Shoes for Fall

The Eleven Collection girls shoes are so adorable that I seriously considered buying the ruffled Mary Jane Alessia shoe for my daughter. To wear years from now when she grows into them. Like the boys collection, the girls shoes are classic styles with a twist, like the dots on the brown Layne boot and the pink leather stripe on the black and gray Zoe shoe. Does the Zoe shoe come in my size?

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… The Eamon shoes will be a staple in my son’s wardrobe for as long as they fit. They are very well-constructed, suitable for an active preschooler and they look awesome. The

Or Not to Buy… The only thing I can think of is that I want MORE. I’d love a great variety in shoes and perhaps some more “dressy” loafer kind of style for boys.
