The back to school sneakers for climbing a tree or cutting a rug

While all of the trend forecasting is pointing to the 80s for fall, Iโ€™m loving the 80s-meets-50s footwear mashup of the new Keds saddle shoe sneaker, right in time for back to school shopping.

Itโ€™s that rare hybrid thatโ€™s got all the comfort and support you want in a sneaker, but can still look adorable with a twirly skirt or little belted dress. The only drawback is that my own dainty-footed preschoolers canโ€™t fit in them since they start at a 8.5. But on the good side โ€“ they go up to a 6. So Iโ€™m wondering if I could fit into them myself. โ€“Liz
