Kicking around in Kickers

Do you remember your first pair of kickers? I certainly do! I must have been around 8 years old, my mother took me to London to buy some shoes, the hustle and the bustle of the big city filled me with excitement and with the anticipation of new shoes, I was feeling that life couldn't get much better.

I was always one for choosing shoes that I liked as opposed to shoes that were comfy and it was my poor mother who would suffer the consequences when new shoes were bought and then weeks of complaining the might feet hurt, that I was getting blisters and that I couldn't possible wear them anymore. It is only now that I have my 3 children do I understand the frustration. Sadly what goes around comes around and my eldest has inherited this trait from me.

However on the wonderful day we walked into the shop and it was as if I had a calling! There was on the shelf a pair of shoes that stole my heart. They were cool, they were funky, they were the ONLY pair I would try on! The shoe of course was a Kicker! I remember them so well infact I think they are the only pair of shoes I remember from my childhood and memories of them still feel me with pleasure! The Kicker was blue leather but it was the sole that had stolen my heart. It was bumpy and curvey and wavey and I ran my fingers up and down the sole and then found the green and red markings that adorned each foot so I would know my left from my right! Genius I thought. They were also camoflaged in blue so no girly stuff here, which was even better and the best part was that they did fit and they were comfy and there would be NO complaining ever again. My mother to my delight and hers too I think, purchased them for me and at the same time gave me a lasting childhood memory!

When my first child was old enough for proper shoes it was always going to be a pair of Kickers and to my delight the range they had on offer was just perfect, the colours from brown to pink to purple to red and many more would satisfy any colour specifications demanded by any toddler. For mums they are superb as we know how long they last, these iconic shoes are built for comfort and practicality.

Now my little boy has just turned 3 and wow was I stunned, amazed and so excited when I saw that LEGO and KICKERS had teamed up to make an entirely fabulous shoe for children. They look great, they are hard wearing, they have LEGO on them, how can you beat that! He loves them, I love them, everyone who sees them wants them. Kickers I have to hand to you my absolute seal of approval! You make shoes fun, you makes shoes funky and fashionable and you'll be making memories with these too.

Great for a Christmas Present for any child, they are just simply great fun hardwearing shoes that will get your little ones kicking around with the best of them!
