The new fall kids' shoes from CMP fave Livie and Luca are starting to slowly appear on the website and I am absolutely loving the new mushroom-adorned Woodland Boot which is a fun, Hobbit-esque update to the London Boots we were digging last year.

These are not your typical kids' shoes for sure. First of all, they're all handmade. The leather uppers are beyond soft, the flexible soles make them fabulous for playground conquering (or magic stream crossing?), and the velcro close makes your life inordinately easier. Plus Livie and Luca's shoes hold up so well, that I've had a pair that I was actually able to hand-me-down to my younger daughter. Now that's saying something. -Liz
