Julie Scott, skate on down!

Julie gets to go spend $100 on however many pairs of etnies sneakers that will buy, thanks to the generosity of  Sole Technology Institute in Lake Forest.

Sole Technology hosted a group of bloggers earlier this week to fill us in on their Grow With Me fit system for children’s shoes. They gave us all a $100 gift card to the etnies company store. We used ours to hold a contest in The Mom Blog, asking for stories about shoes.

Here’s what Julie shared:

I hadn’t realized how fast my daughter was growing out of her shoes until a few weeks ago when I picked her up from school and she asked me if I had noticed anything about her shoes. She was wearing black sneakers, which she usually wears, so I didn’t think much about it until I gave them a better look and realized they were MY sneakers! She couldn’t find hers that morning, so she had snagged mine instead. I didn’t really mind her borrowing them as much as I minded the realization that at almost 8 (two weeks!), she could borrow my sneaks now. I don’t know how other people measure how fast their kids are growing up, but in our house, it’s in shoes.

(And as mentioned on a post earlier this week, my daughter LOVES “skater” shoes. So the etnies coupon would be much appreciated if I win it.)

Hey Julie, when you go shopping with your daughter we hope she picks out a pair of shoes that you like, too, so you can borrow them from her!

Congrats. And thanks to all the moms who shared their shoe stories and comments with us.
