I just bought Lo a cute pair of crocs. Ugh why is rubber so expensive?! Anyway. Hoping they last the entire summer! Will try natives/gap next summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/native-shoes-are-the-bomb#post-207966 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 12:49:06 +0000 Mrs. Bee 207966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got Charlie some imitation Natives from Gap when there was a sale because I was too cheap to buy the real ones. They were like 1/3 of the cost:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=6395&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=149698&#038;scid=149698022" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=6395&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=149698&#038;scid=149698022</a></p> <p>Also I never know if shoes are going to work for Charlie until after he wears them for a while. He often starts complaining that his feet hurt after a couple of wears, and then he doesn't want to wear certain shoes anymore. So I didn't want to spend money on Natives that he ended up not wearing, and he kept kicking off his crocs.</p> <p>Anyway Charlie loves his (fake) Natives, they stay on, and they're super cute. I'm a fan! So if you're contemplating getting them as a summer shoe for your LO, I highly recommend them! </p>
