Inchworm Shoes

Grow With Your Feet

With the click of a button and some tugging, the shoe length on the Inchworms can be extended so they grow right along with your feet. This expandable design should reduce the number of trips you'll have to take to the show store as your little one grows all-too-quickly. The idea is not only clever, but it solves a frustration that parents around the glove have all experienced.

Implications - When children are young, they grow extremely quickly and shopping for clothes becomes a regular and costly experience. Now that these genius inchworm shoes have been developed, parents can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
