Eleven Shoes get a perfect 10
When my girls hit shoe sizes in the double digits, I was dismayed at how grown up some of the styles were.  Heels for a preschooler? Eek.

Thankfully, the new line of fall shoes by Eleven, the big brother/sister line of CMP fave See Kai Run, gives my growing five year old a slightly older look while still remembering that she may want to climb a tree or turn an impromptu cartwheel.

My daughter loves her new funky orange Eleanor Mary Janes with their rubbery-gripping bottom and easy-on velcro strap. I also love the sparkly silver Sofia's, and the cool green and black shoe for boys, the Iggy.

Although I tried to keep my daughter's new Eleanors as her "special event" shoes, she had other ideas, and has already taken them for several scooter rides, a fierce game of tag and more than a few dozen gymnastic moves. Thankfully, these shoes can take it. I have the evidence. -Christina
