Tricky Childrens' Footwear

These Kiko Kids Animal Sandals Will Fool Friends at the Beach

— June 23, 2011 — Fashion
Kiko Kids launched worldwide in May 2011, this kid-friendly company designs innovative wooden toys and accessories for children.

One of their latest products will be 'Ashiato' -- a traditional Japanese sandal for kids. These adorable animal print sandals perfect for fun play days at the beach are available in five unique colors. Kids can walk in their favorite animals shoes (sandals) and playful bring that character to life through playful imagination. They can hoot like an owl, swing like a monkey or pounce like a cat. The full range of wooden animal sandals currently include: cat, gecko, owl, monkey and walrus.

These Kiko Kids animal print sandals are so cute; I only wish they were available in adult sizes as well.
