From Kickers, for the mamas...

I have some rules for purchasing shoes for myself.  First, they must be comfortable.  Second, I must have everyday shoes that slip on and off easily so that I can carry kids and stuff while dealing with my footwear.  Third, they must be affordable (as in not anywhere near $100, ideally much less than $50).  I posted the other day here about some great deals on Camper Kids shoes, including the adorable Nora ballet flat.  Some of you said that you wished it came in adult sizes.  This great Kickers women's bird ballet flat is about as close as we are going to come, minus the cute bow.  It looks remarkably comfortable, the colors are so, so appropriate for fall and it is 70% off right now at Amazon.  Yes, 70% off!  The three colors above have been marked down from $109 to $32.70 and qualify for free Amazon shipping.  This shoe passes my rules test with flying colors.  I have loved every pair of Kickers that has crossed my threshold, both for me and for the kids.  The quality is great and they are always comfortable.  This is perfect footwear at a perfect price.
