Last week I bought LO a pair of silver Emi Smaller shoes. She's worn them 3-4 times, and the silver is already rubbing off of the toes. She doesn't even walk yet, so it's not like she's hard on shoes! I'm so disappointed... Especially since SKRs aren't cheap. Am I expecting too much out of a pair of metallic shoes? Do all metallic shoes wear like this, or did I pick a dud?

We had a pair of light pink SKR shoes and they did get scraped up. I think its just part of the leather not taking the paint well maybe? As opposed to other shoes that are cheaper materials maybe? In the end, I have found that all shoes get scratched up but overall my SKR holds up much better.

@T.H.O.U.: Is it unreasonable to think that they would still look new after just a few wears? I'm new to the world of kids' shoes, so I have no idea. I do love the construction and fit of them!

@Weagle: Unless you look at the stride rite shoes that have the plastic toe that comes up, unfortunately I have found that all shoes show signs of being worn really quickly.
I assume she is crawling in them and therefore they are dragging all over the ground?

I have a metallic Kate Spade purse and this happened to it too although it took significantly longer. The girls I watch have metallic shoes that held up well though made by Jellybeans. If she is crawling in them though that might be the issue since there would be a lot of rubbing.

I got a pair of metallic silver Kai shoes (older girls line of SKR) and unfortunately they did scratch up. They still look nice, but I can see the wear at the toe tip. She is rough on the shoes though and wears them to pre school and the playground. I think it is the nature of the leather and that particular type of metallic. The only metallic baby shoes that I've that didn't scuff up were pedipeds. Their metallic is more glossy.

@T-Mom: and I almost bought the Pedipeds...

@Weagle: I'm sorry
The SKR shoes are soooo soft though. Softer than the pedipeds.
