Liam is the best little shopper. My mom and I go 'mall walking' most mornings with all the Old people and mommy and me groups. We have to bundle Liam up or he turns into a Popsicle. He is so good the whole time, but we have decided to go when Ruth and Neil are at school from now on. It was fall break last week, & we decided to chance taking them with, It was crazy, first of all Ruth and Neil got in the car without shoes, and I didn’t want to go home to get them, so they just went in socks. This obviously led to running and sliding in the mall and I received many glares and irritated looks from Post people pushing dollies loaded with boxes (understandable, but why were their so many?) and old people (who were by the way just sitting on benches drinking coffee). Then they decided it would be fun to run ahead and jump out and ‘scare’ us this would have been fine had they done it only to my mom and I. Poor old lady; I may have deserved that glare. After they got bored with this game we tried speed-walk-racing to keep them from asking if we were done. Super fun, and it pumps up the heart rate a bit more, only Neil must have heard the directions wrong because he walked right into every single person who was to slow to dodge out of his way as he walked past. I love my kids, but won’t do that again. They sound like psychos now, really they are okay in the mall if we go in get done and leave, but just walking around the mall repeatedly is more than they can handle without making people want to throttle them (including myself) Liam on the other hand only sets up a fuss when we walk by the pet store because he wants to get out and visit with the "Neows" and "Oof oofs” Today he sat and jabbered with himself and his cars while I deliberated for quite some time over some shoes which I ended up not being able to decide on. I got both with the intention of taking one back so help! Straps or no straps??? Im more inclined towards the one with straps (they are a tad cheaper) but Neil really likes the 'other ones with the bow'. I don’t know if I should trust the judgment of a 4 year old that frequently wears odd shoes on the wrong feet or forgets to put them on altogether...

I think both are really cute, but I think I do agree with Neil I like the one with the bow.
I have agonized over this decision for hours now. I have finally found a winner. If they were my shoes, I would go with the strap shoes. They are both so so cute and I would wear both, but if I had to pick one, that is the one that I would pick. But the bow one is way cute also. There really is no wrong choice. Either on will do. But I am not kidding I looked at them for a very long time before making my decision. Hope it helps!
The ones with the strap are very flattering on your feet. But the other one is cute also. I love your mall walking experience with the whole gang. What a riot!
Keep them both. I am serious.
I really liked the strappy ones better, and had the other all boxed up and ready to go back, but after wearing the strappy ones for 10 minutes I felt crippled. I know, Im pathetic, but I think the little bit lower heel on the other shoe make a big difference.
