It’s almost back to school and I can’t wait. \u00a0Besides the part where I’ll have less kids at home so I can relax a little (sort of), it’s also fun because I get to do a lot of back to school shopping. \u00a0Even though I’m not shopping for me, it’s fun nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Kyle is entering senior kindergarten and we’re really focusing on having him put his best foot forward. While he can be very busy, loud\u00a0and full of beans, he does have a quiet, shy and timid side too. He’s not great with change, and this year, he’ll be transferring to a new classroom with new classmates, a different teacher and a larger class size. That’s a whole lot of changes for an emotional five year old.<\/p>\n

To help prepare him for the transition and to get him excited, we’re getting a bunch of new stuff for school. \u00a0Besides the backpack, lunch box and clothes, we’re getting him new shoes too. Since Kyle loves to play sports and run (A LOT), it’s important that we get him proper fitted shoes.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

I’ve written previously about the importance of getting proper fitted shoes for myself for running and the thing is, it is just as it’s important for kids.<\/p>\n

Comfort, durability, support and looks are some of the key features I look for. I teamed up with New Balance to outfit my sons for the upcoming school year. The New Balance Vazee Rush kids shoes<\/strong><\/a> are made with a cushioned midsole for comfort and the hook and loop velcro closure are great to help them learn independence so they can put on and take off the shoes themselves. \u00a0Of course, my boys just love the ultra-sleek design. Kyle is already excited to start school so he can show off his new foot gear.<\/p>\n

Whether my boys will be racing each other up and down the street, to the park or around the school’s playground, I know that their little feet will be properly supported. Now that’s how you put your best foot forward!<\/p>\n
