Grr....Why is it so hard to find vegan shoes for my 15 month old son? He wears a size 3, soon to be 4 and it took me a couple of months of looking around to find a pair of synthetic sandals for him for the summer ( finally found some at Target in the baby section...but when he moves to a size 4, he'll be out of the baby shoes and into toddlers and they're all leather!) I even looked on the different vegan websites. They just have shoes for adults. Does anyone know of a good place to look for when I'm shopping for shoes in the future for him?

Thanks!

Don't forget that children's feet need to breathe just like adult feet need to breathe. Shoes made of non-breathable imitation leather should not be worn for more than around 45 minutes or so.

Hi, Sal. I buy my kids canvas sneakers and teva sandals. I buy the sandals from LL BEAN.

The Sears TKS line is mostly non-leather. I think when I worked there they had maybe one leather boot and the rest were synthetic or canvas.

Thanks for your input! I will look at Sears and LL Bean. :)
