Inchworm shoes - Shoes that grow as your kids feet grow!

kjiga
The greatest new idea in kids' shoes, Inchworm shoes are designed with the exclusive I-Fit ® system, which allows the shoes to expand one whole size (in half-size increments) at the touch of a button, to keep up with ever-growing kids' feet. This extends the life of the shoes by 3-6 months. We estimate that we can save at least one pair (probably 2) of shoes a year for your child. With around 5 million children between1 the ages of 3 and 9 that’s 5 million pairs of shoes not going to waste– so your carbon footprint gets smaller as your kids’ footprints get bigger!
Stylish Italian design and very comfortable, Inchworm shoes are the shoes that kids will love to wear, and since they grow along with their feet, they'll get to wear them even longer! These shoes are extremely stable, always emphasizing the finest quality materials resulting in matchless comfort, highly durable lightweight with superior craftsmanship. Inchworm - the shoes that grow with your kids!

    • Did anyone ever go out and buy a pair?

      If so, please could you help me get a full picture of whether this is a good buy for my kid.

      Do the shoes get outworn before they get outgrown? I notice that the material is cheap, and that the glue doesn't hold the iFit section (the middle of the shoe) together so well.

      What is the support like for the arch of the foot?

      Is it breathable for summer?

      When extended fully, I notice there's a gap between the inside end of the shoe and the shoe insert. Is this uncomfortable for kids?

      Are they water proof/resistant?

      Does the material on the inside of the shoe fray easily?

      How sturdy is the middle of the shoe? If there is a tear, will it weaken the shoe?

      Is the middle section strong enough to prevent stepping on nails, etc? Are they appropriate to play sports?

      Thnx!

    • If I'm not living in Hawaii where my kids will just go barefoot all the time (like I did growing up!) by the time I start popping out babies, then I'm definitely getting these stretchy shoes. Even if they're the same price as 3 pairs of normal shoes, they're better for the environment - less waste! Awesome!

    • These I can see catching on, only if they are cheaper than buying 3 pairs of normal shoes. Something tells me that's not going to happen.
