Can you PIP what you consider to be little girl's "everyday" shoes?
(I edited the title for girls only, although other thoughts are appreciated...)
I was having a discussion w/a friend the other day about summer shoes for our DD's. She asked me to show her what shoes DD wears. (right now they are these:
Robeez Tredz.)
She said that she considers those "special outfit" shoes and asked me what she wears everyday? I said, the same pair.
She asks what she plays in, and I said, again, the Robeez shoes.
Is this a totally odd thing? She couldn't figure out why I don't put her in sneakers. DD has never worn sneakers. She does everything just fine in this type of shoe. I think this type of shoe matches more of her outfits and sneakers wouldn't match (not like i'm all about fashion over comfort or function, I do want her to be comfy...)
ETA that my question really is, does your LO wear "athletic style shoes" for everyday (think Nike, Adidas, Puma, etc.), or another different looking shoe (whether they be crocks, mary jane style, sandals, boots, etc.)

DS wears these pretty much everyday:
Some Sort of Nonsense (My Blog)
T constantly wore a similar pair of robeez as her all the time shoe. They were black mary janes and she wore them with everything from dresses at christmas to jeans.
She is almost 14 months and has been walking since 11 1/2 months, but I still feel like she needs fairly flexible soles. The tennies I see are usually thicker.
I bought some shoes at stride rite the other day but they're a bit big, and I want to get her some nicer shoes, and in the meantime her current all the time shoe is a pair of brown mary janes from target.
Those are adorable.
DD has sneakers. When it warms up she'll probably wear sandals most of the time.
For the summer she will have sandals and a pair of white Keds as well as her Nike.
DD wears one of these two pairs of shoes to daycare during the week...the sneakers probably 75% and the pedipeds 25%.
Weekends, she typically wears a pair of pedipeds, boots or flipflops/sandals, depending on the season. If she wasn't in daycare, I don't know how much use she would get out of the sneakers.
ETA: I love the shoes you posted and would absolutely consider them everyday shoes.
DD wears these (if I can get the PIP to work). They are just canvas Mary Janes.
DD has a lot of shoes. She just outgrew the pair you posted and she wore them for everyday or with casual dresses. She usually wears brown Stride Rite shoes right now similar to these for everyday:
She also has a pair of casual black Mary Janes she wears a lot and a pair of Adidas tennis shoes she wears quite a bit too. Then she has a few pair of dressier shoes.
In the summer, she'll wear sandals most days.

These are what DD has now:

She wears them about 75% of the time and then these for the other 25% a pair of Saucony sneakers that I can't find online. I'm a "shoes" kind of girl myself, I avoid sneakers at all costs so ideally that's what I do for DD. We'll probably find a neutral sandal for the summer, I'd like some flip flops for her if she can walk in them.
This. DD has a wide foot and the velcro is a Godsend. I cannot imagine trying to get her foot in a sneaker. We'd never leave the house.
