First, let me say that there is a leather version lace up Champion Keds
And here are a view other options:
L'Amour Shoes White Leather T-Strap Mary
Sketcher's Sugarcubes
White Mary Jane's by Coco
And last but definitely not least:
After showing Emma the options, she picked the Katrin by Vincent that is pictured above. Her reason being: that she thought it would be the best choice to go with both jeans and dresses. And since I, being the pratical mother that I am, have decided to encourage that kind of thinking, I'm ordering her choice.
I had never heard of Vincent Shoes before this little search but I must say that I'm loving them. The shoe is $42 which is a little more than I've been paying but, they look to be very good quality shoes and are still very reasonable for a shoe that will go with everything. They have a little bit of shine to them and though I would prefer just a matte leather, a little shine never hurt anyone.
And if you're interested in ordering from Vincent Shoes, the code VIN-SWEET-10 will get you 10% off.
Blessings,
Dana
