Cute Critter Kicks

Zooligans Presents Animal Shoes for Kids

A menagerie of little animals are hitting the streets on the feet of little kids with Zooligans. These animal kids shoes are super cute and very comfy. They have a soft colorful leather upper and really flexible bottoms adorned with a rainbow of paw prints.

Zooligans animal kids shoes are the brainchild of footwear designer, Joel Rusnak. Rusank cleverly combined his knowledge of footwear design and his background in toy design to create this line of shoes that spark the imagination of the littlest consumers. Unlike most kids shoes that are miniature versions of adult styles, Zooligans are designed from a kids perspective.

Dress your child up in the cutest kicks around with the Zooligans kid shoes.

Implications - Zooligans bring creativity and inspiration to what is often the lack luster array of offerings typically found in kids shoes. Taking a fresh approach and thinking about design as an opportunity to be playful is key to creating product that will appeal to little kids.
