Customer Reviews:

Julia said, “These shoes have both style AND comfort. I have flat feet and normally need arch supports, but I can stand in these shoes all day and my feet still feel great. I plan to buy these in another color. I got the red ones, and they’re a lovely deep cherry.”

Barbara said, “Not only is this shoe comfortable, it offers great support and is also stylish. I am ordering another pair in olive right away.”

Spring is springing across the country! Grass is greening, flowers blooming, trees are budding, it is time to get back outside and enjoy the weather! I’ve pulled together a couple possibilities to consider for footwear just right for sunny conditions!

The Merrell Chameleon Arc Pure is a beautiful blend of high tech comfort, performance and design. Cutouts in the upper part of the shoe are covered in a breathable mesh allowing air to flow through the shoe, keeping feet cool and dry on hikes on warm Spring days and hot summer afternoons.

The effect is architectural in design and gives these shoes a unique and appealing look. The protective rubber toe cap combined with the Merrell Air Cushion heel makes this comfortable and stable no matter how much you put your Merrells through.

Just in time the hazy days of summer, the Merrell Circuit MJ Breeze appears with its cool mesh material covering the entire upper part of the shoe.

For those who like more than a flip flop or a sandal, these Mary Jane inspired shoes offer just enough support without weighing you down in something heavy.

With the famous Merrell sticky rubber sole for traction and stable footing, you can wear these shoes all day every day.

I know that I’m a sucker for the Mary Jane look, it’s just so classic and comfy, and the Patagonia Kenosha is a delight. More substantial, with a thicker more sneaker-like sole, this is a more rugged version than the old dress-up shoe.

Two adjustable straps on top and at the heel make for a perfect fit while the molded EVA midsole provides cushioning and support. I also love that Patagonia uses so much recycled material in their products.

This shoe has 100% recycled laces, 70% recycled footbed and 15% recycled midsole. How awesome is that?

The Teva Westwater is a favorite for a reason- it is stylish, comfortable and lives up to all we expect of a Teva sandal.

From the street to the park you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort or performance, this shoe has it all.

The sponge EVA topsole was inspired by yoga mats, which means it is comfortable, supportive and healthy for your feet.

The open design of the shoe combined with the mesh material used means that your feet stay cool and dry in hot, humid conditions.

Live near the beach, lake or river? Like to hike in terrain that changes from the start to finish of your hike? I’ve got just the shoes for you- the Keen Venice H2.

A very rugged sandal with open webbing and great traction it’s perfect for hiking through streams, walking the beach and and taking on water of all sorts.

A molded EVA footbed cradles your foot in complete comfort and the fast-drying materials used make this shoe ideal for excursions near water.

My favorite new find has to be the Keen Coronado sandal, it is so different from the other styles and yet so perfect.

It looks a bit like a skate-style sneaker that has been sliced apart and re-formed into something all new.

It is an unexpected look that looks great and lets you stand out with your own flair.

With natural canvas on the top, recycled PU and cork for the footbed this earth-friendly shoe has a laid back style all its own. We love Keen!

Choosing the right kid’s shoes as they go back to school is always a challenge. You want something sturdy and versatile that will work with most of their clothes, keep up with them no matter how hard they run and play and that will stand up to changing weather conditions.

My daughter starts kindergarten this year and I have to say I’ve been stumped! Do I go with fashion or straight up durability and practicality? Do I choose an athletic shoe or do I go with a sturdy Mary Jane? So I perused my options over at Planet Shoes and I came up with a number of cute styles that will please the parent of daughter or son, girly girl or tomboy, athlete or bookworm!

Keen Coronado: Let’s start with the Keen Coronado’s. This is a cute and durable option from Keen, a shoe maker known for quality and making a shoe that can stand up to just about anything. This sneaker, in particular, is also made with eco-friendly construction in mind, offering a recycled PU and cork footbed and using an eco-friendly vulcanized construction.

The natural canvas is both breathable and strong and the look is classic and works perfectly for boys or girls depending on the size you choose. If you decide to go with the classic Converse inspired sneaker, consider the Keen Coronado for this fall!

New Balance KV993 Running – Do you have a preschooler heading into the hallowed school halls for the first time? One of the best options for an athletic or super active tyke is a great New Balance sneaker, with a Velcro closure. These are made for running around, so they are well cushioned and have reflective detailing for additional safety.

They are made with a suede and mesh upper which keeps the shoe comfortable in any temperature. Easy to get on and off and super supportive and durable, these kid’s sneakers are a great option for little boys or girls on and off the playground.

Simple Macaroon – Do you have a little girl on your hands who is likely to turn her nose up at a pair of sneakers, no matter how cute? Well, I have the compromise for you! The Simple Macaroon is an adorable Mary Jane style kid’s shoe that has the benefit of a rubber outsole and comfortable footbed.

As with all Simple Shoes, these sweeties are also very eco-friendly, using Organic cotton for the lining and the EVA pedbed covering. The rubber outsole used to be a car tire and these shoes ship in recycled boxes. So basically, you’ll be helping your little darling look adorable in the most comfortable and eco-friendly way possible! No downside!

Merrell Jungle Moc – Last, but certainly not least is the Merrell Jungle Moc, the classic Merrell slip on that combines simple styling, extreme durability and water and stain resistant exteriors. These shoes have a ton of benefits for kids – they are slip on’s, which make them easy for all ages, but they also offer fantastic traction and a great, snug fit because of the elasticity.

These shoes are sure to see them through the winter – and maybe you’ll swing over to the grown up section and pick some up for yourself!
