Ya know like instead of Ace of Base how bout Ace of BRAIDS! Dude! HeHe He He.......And Dude like right now if I blink I see.... Oh! Dude lets get some pie..."

Caitlin, I totally agree. Where have all the good shoes gone? I want stylish, yet flat-soled, shoes for my little girl and it seems they are completely vanquished for kids 12 months and up. I dont think someone who is barely used to walking should have to contend with big, heavy clodhoppers. Yes! Caitlin, I totally agree. Where have all the good shoes gone?

When I was little, in the early 80's, none of my dress shoes had heels. Now, you'd be hard pressed to find a simple, flat, classic mary jane. The only dress shoes without heels look like weird, Earth shoe/orthopedic things. Ridiculous. You know, I’ll never understand why little girls’ shoes have heels on them.

May I suggest the names of your favorite toddlers, until you recover your equilibrium? For example, I can rename all those shoes "Emily," "Abbie," "Camryn," "Lanie," "Elizabeth," and "Brady" in about two minutes. If such pedestrian names stick in your creative craw, you could explore literary names, which would give you a good excuse to spend the morning at Barnes & Noble, or at least Amazon. But these very bad puns are not going to win you friends in the children's shoe department. Instead, they will steer the mummies to StrideRite, just so they won't have to say, "Oh, the Whip n Skip? Let me see if we have it in Daisy's size." Dear Kenneth Cole REACTION (and boy, did you get one) marketing wonk:
