Back-to-School Shoe Shopping with L’Amour Shoes

I’m thrilled to partner with L’Amour Shoes to share some of our favorites just in time for back-to-school shopping! 

As I opened up the box of new shoes for the girls, I couldn’t help but feel sentimental. So often back-to-school shopping can feel just like a punch list. Do they need mechanical pencils or regular pencils? Is their backpack from last year going to hold up? Let’s make sure we get the right size boxes of Kleenex, and how many packs of loose leaf paper did they need again? I happen to like all that, even the mundane supplies get this former teacher excited for the year to start. But unpacking these shoes, I held them for a moment thinking about how at once they both seem so big, and still so small. I thought about how this year, Catherine will run to her classroom in her little t-straps, and Margaret will link up with friends she’s missed over the summer in her new Mary Janes. I couldn’t help but flash back to a tiny Margaret riding around the playground on a red Radio Flyer in her Dottie Scalloped T-Straps. I showed the girls and predicted correctly that they’d squeal over the glittery detail on the back of their new sneakers, and upon trying on all the pairs they immediately started bubbling with excitement over getting back to school. 

As much as I’m a little sad to be closing the chapter on Summer 2022, I’m so looking forward to seeing all that is in store for them this year. And I’m getting lost in the sweetness of moments like back-to-school shoe shopping! 

It’s the perfect time to get a jump on picking out a pair (or two, or three!) for your little ones with L’Amour Shoes. The Hamlin girls are ready with the Jenna Canvas Mary Jane. The lightweight outsole makes it easy to move, and it comes in six other colors! 

Margaret will also be rocking the Chloe Classic Scalloped Leather Mary Jane in navy with easy velcro closure and breathable leather lining, while Catherine will be wearing the Chelsea T-Strap Mary Janes, which can take her from Sunday Best to the playground. 

And the girls will be running all over the place in the Kenzie Double Velcro Sneaker. Its leather design is both durable and comfortable and the fun touch of metallic on the back is extra special! 

No matter which shoes you choose for your little one, the L’Amour brand kicks are such high quality, they’re made with the intention of being passed down! The designs are for this playful and active time in their lives and will no doubt help them kick off a great school year!
