Skidders

I know what you’re thinking. This post is about a pair of underwear gone horribly wrong.

No! It’s about shoes…shoes that don’t skid. Hence the name, Skidders.

Skidders are indoor-outdoor shoes that are designed to give a child extra traction and protection. They’re super lightweight and you can fold them up to throw into a backpack or suitcase.

Skidders come in boy and girl styles with sizes ranging from 12 months up to 4T.

There are several really cute options for girls. I like this cherries model:

And this zebra print with pink accents is adorable.

Here are a couple of neat styles for little boys. Choose from styles like this camo one:

For an edgier style, try the flames.

Or, outfit your little guy in sneakers that aren’t really sneakers.

Skidders are $19.99 a pair.

I am on the fence with Skidders. They’re kind of cute, but they look like a cross between Crocs and socks. I don’t really know why you would buy these in place of normal sneakers, because sneakers have treads, too. And for little kids? I just don’t see these being less of a battle to put on or take off.

What am I missing?

I think they look like they’d make your feet hot and stinky…but the manufacturer’s information says it is “breathable material.”

If you like the looks of Skidders, you can browse all of their available styles at My Skidders.
