Back to School Extravaganza – Best Sneakers

Welcome Super Goody Bag fans to part two of the Back to School Extravaganza! Where we showcase the latest and greatest necessities your child needs to start off their school year in style. While we can’t magically make your kid the coolest kid in class (and seriously would you really want that?), we can help give them the confidence to feel good about themselves. I’m not trying to sound superficial, but when you like the way you look, your self-esteem tends to improve. Isn’t that a great thing to have when you’re walking into a new classroom, with new peers and a new teacher?

Today we bring you the best in sneakers for boys and girls. Don’t underestimate the importance of a good sneaker! This is one item your child will tend to wear on a daily basis. While their tiny feet will undoubtedly outgrow their sneakers quicker than we’d like, good arch support starting at an early age will lead to less aches and pains when they’re older.

Checkout our top picks for kicks. In styles and colors so bold, your kids will beg to learn how to tie their own shoes! – Jill Topol
