My 3yo wanted gold shoes, preferably with sparkle/glitter. I went through a couple rounds of Amazon buying and returning, for a few different sneakers, from brands I didn't recognize (i.e., they weren't Nike/ Reebok/ Saucony etc ... instead, brands that are probably sold only on Amazon ... for a reason). It took me one round to get the correct size, but even then- my daughter would take a few steps and say that something hurt. I finally gave up trying to find gold shoes, and went with actual sneakers by an actual reputed brand: Saucony. It turns out: purple sneakers with a hint of pink are just as acceptable from an aesthetic point of view. And, from the first time she slipped them on her feet: zero complaints. They're super comfortable, they're easy to put on, they're supportive, she loves to run fast, she loves them, and I love them too. And, fun fact, one of her playmates has the exact same sneaker (total coincidence), just with the purple/pink flipped. So I must be doing something right. Apart from all those rounds of Amazon returns.
