Hi! My 3 yr old boys have had a bit of a growth spurt lately so looking to get them some new shoes. Wondering if anyone can recommend something that last well for toddlers? I'd love something I could machine wash if possible. I'm looking for something enclosed toe ( kinder requirements) .... Anyone got any recommendations?

I buy some shoes from Shoes N Sox which are machine washable. Around $35 a pair and have an enclosed toe. Think they are a type of surf shoes. The brand is Ciao. I like them because they've got a sole which extends up over the toes so they don't get scuffed when they kneel or crawl on the ground. Hope this link works... http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2...3140&type=3 This post has been edited by Jenflea: 05/01/2013, 08:24 AM

What about sketchers? I know a few toddler boys that wear them and there's lots of sales about at the moment. My girls have also got some, which they grow out of before wearing out.
