This Mother's Day Get Her Shoes . . . and Them Too

JeanneSager — Fri, 01 May 2009 21:26:00 GMT

I never latched onto the "Mother's Day as shoe giving holiday" until now. Yes, moms like shoes (so do a lot of dads for that matter), but we need shoes in which we can run after our kids.

Wouldn't you know they'd come out of a place known for taking the adventure off road?

Jeep's new J-41 line takes the juvenile shoe line we love for our kids and focuses it on their mothers, with cute sandals and heels that are sturdy enough for racing off across the playground. There are dress up and dress down options, depending on what kind of mom you are - and what kind of kid you have.

And since we're all about going green here on Droolicious, each J-41 shoe line is environmentally friendly with a partially recycled outsole and some one hundred percent recycled and recyclable materials.

Shop the line at shopping.com or get the Journey shoe above at Amazon.

For Mom: These Are Crocs. Really!

SunnyChanel — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:30:00 GMT

You either love or hate Crocs. Personally, as you may have noticed, I am not a fan. But I’m not cruel. My daughter has begged for her own pair since she the first (and every) time saw them, I finally broke down and got her a pair of hot pink classic Crocs. But now, she wants me to get a pair so we can match. I have to calmly explain to her that “mommy won’t wear a pair of Crocs...ever." This was a promise I thought I could keep, until now.

The crafty creators of Crocs have created a line of shoes and boots for moms everywhere that look absolutely nothing like their namesake. The You by Crocs line includes boots, stylish shoes and heels. Yes, heels. I was sent a pair of the Racy Rocker black leather boots to try out. When the box came, I told my daughter that “oh look, mommy finally has a pair of Crocs” and when we opened the box my daughter was really disappointed. Me? I was thrilled.

These leather boots are extremely comfortable with a leather lined “croslite” footbed that has extra padding in the ball-of-the foot and the heel. The patented “Croslite technology” is odor resistant, ergonomic, anti-microbial and very lightweight. They take the comfort of the Crocs and translate that into something that any and all, even the most stylish of moms, would and could wear. And best of all, they’re now on sale! You can get the Racy Rocker boots above for $187 (regularly $250). Now I can proudly tell my daughter, yes, mommy wears Crocs.
