Best Shoe Picks for Picky Teens

Friday, December 15th, 2006

My 15 year old daughter is so subtle about her shoe preferences. She emails them to me. I actually like it. No arguments, I don’t get my feelings hurt and I don’t have to see her roll her eyes in sync with loud exhalations of frustration and angst. She is a sneaker girl, so here are her picks. These may work for the picky teen girl in your home too.

She’s also a skateboarder, so next on her hit list are Vans.classic-van.jpg But take a gander at that website. It’s got so much stuff flashing, I feel like I’m in an altered state… It’s no wonder kids can’t concentrate anymore. I’ll just have to give her the card to do her own shopping on that one. I did see a classic slide on in leather that’s perfect for this non-skateboarding mom and her daughter.

Now for my 19 year old, shopping is a breeze. She’s my clone.

I’m updating this post because as soon as I published it, guess what came in my email? Another shoe HINT from none other than that 15 year old sneaker loving girl. Looks like adidas and the NBA have joined forces. Sweet. Now if they could just do something for the Raiders…

About Shoe Boxers

Would you rather spend your last dollar on a killer pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos or save your cash and traipse around town in a pair of last years flip flops? If you chose the latter, this site is not for you. Shoeboxers is for the Shoe Diva. For the girl who stands out in a crowd – likely because her 4 inch heels have her towering over everyone else.
