Unique Kid’s Sneakers for Back-to-School #win

August 10, 2010 By Erin Tales

Black/Red Boomerang

I was never big on “typical” sneakers. My boys usually wore skater-style shoes and attention-grabbing trainers when they were younger. And still, their dress shoes always have a lot of style. So when it comes to choosing a sneaker, I have trouble going with a basic style. When I discovered U*Neak Sneakers last year I was sold on appearance. And after having my oldest wear them everywhere and they are still in solid condition, I realized that I couldn’t switch him to another brand.

First off, the coolest thing about U*neaks is that it is customizable footwear. The shoes have little transparent windows so you can see the design on the socks underneath. You can use any sock with them – but U*neaks sells socks that perfectly complement the shoes, with the designs in the perfect spot to see them through the window. So the result is, you are changing the look of the shoes just by changing the socks. And bonus – all U*neaks socks are double-sided, so that you get two appearances from each pair of socks by simply switching socks from one foot to the other. The same pair of socks can either display graffiti or spiders to the outside world. Or maybe they might have all the characters from Madagascar, but switch the feet the socks are on and you will see Alex the Lion stealing the show. How cool is that?

Gray/Yellow Boomerang

I have to say, both of my sons LOVE these shoes. Last year my oldest was wearing the Black/Red Boomerang, which is probably my favorite for boys. Now we passed those shoes to my youngest and my oldest is wearing the Gray/Yellow Boomerang. When it comes to new shoes and socks from U*neaks, the boys have to try the shoes on with EVERY.PAIR.OF.SOCKS. You can even let your kids mix the pairs of socks and be completely unique.

Now, for boys you can choose between three pairs of shoes. The Black/Red Boomerang, the Gray/Yellow Boomerang and the Camel Rev. There are 19 pairs of boys socks, in ankle and tube style. For girls there are 6 shoes styles and 14 sock styles. The shoes are available from sizes 8 and up and cost just around $35. And if your child is a fan of Madagascar, be sure to check out all the stock styles they have with their favorite Madagascar characters.

Overall, U*neaks are a fun and stylish way kids can express themselves and their personality through their shoes. Parents will love that they are durable and practical. So, they continue to be the athletic shoe I suggest first for kids.
