I am starting to buy dresses for LO for spring/summer. Last summer she didn't wear many to day care cause they have to wear closed toe. But I am thinking they will be good this year since we will hopefully be potty training.
I just don't like sneakers and dresses together.

@Smurfette: are you looking for shoe recs? I like the look of this type of See Kai Run style with dresses and lacy or eyelet socks.

E wears a lot of mary jane type shoes, crocs, or sandals (but open toe is ok at her home daycare)

what about slip-on sneakers like vans?
or moccasins from minnetonka are always cute!

@blackbird: I wish she could wear open toed. It would be much cheaper!

@Smurfette: I don't like sneakers with dresses either. Have you tried mary janes recently? I know they didn't work previously, but maybe the shape of her feet have changed since you last tried? I really only like mary janes and t-straps with dresses.

@lawbee11: I haven't but they seem to still be chubby on the top. But I guess I can try again.

Last year DD lived in these sandals with dresses, she refused to wear anything else:

My LO wore Livie and Luca pios or Pediped sandals last year.
I can't find the Pediped ones we had anymore, but I did see these: http://www.pediped.com/Products/Originals-br-Daphne---White__127.aspx (ETA: oops, those are too small...but something like that)
I think See Kai Run had a closed-toe sandal last year as well. http://www.zappos.com/see-kai-run-kids-gloria-ii-toddler-white (could probably find them cheaper elsewhere, I didn't look around)

@T.H.O.U.: These are the same issue as mary janes. The top of her feet are fat, so the top of the shoes dig into her feet.

@T.H.O.U.: The straps on the mary janes aren't the issue. It is the border near the toes that cuts into her feet.

@Smurfette: She seriously would not take them off, I plan on buying her some this year too
Edit: I even tried to buy her a second pair when they were looking dingy and gross and she refused to wear the new ones...only the broken in ones ha.

Toms, Nikes or See Kai Run or Stride Rite Mary Jane sneakers. Not a fan of sneakers and dresses in general but they wear cuter shoes when they aren't at school.
