I fall in love with every pair of Livie & Luca shoes that I see. The Pio Pio Mary Jane is no exception. I am quite taken with the sweet birdies on these practical mary janes. I buy lots of bird items for my middle daughter, who has a bird name, and these would be a perfect addition to her wardrobe. I’m just a little nervous that her tomboy ways would have these white shoes ruined in a single day. They are available in toddler sizes from 5-11 and retail for $45. You can purchase a pair at globalenfant.com.

UGG brings the comfort and warmth of their popular boots to a fun mary jane with the Honey B. Available in either pink or black, theseshoes are sure to keep little toes cozy. A velcro closure makes them easy to get on and off.  Like any mary jane, you can pair these with just about any outfit. They are available in 6-12 and 12-18 month sizes and retail for $50. You can purchase a pair at RonRobinson.com.

Stride Rite’s Baby Joy Mary Jane sneaker is very similar to a pair of Stride Rites that my three year old wore when she was just starting to walk. Although these shoes may not be as flashy as others she has owned, they are as versatile as can be. The Mary Jane style allows you to pair them with just about anything–dresses, pants, or shorts, while the simple blue and pink color scheme is a match for just about any outfit.  These are available in sizes from 4-8 and retail for $45. You can check them out at StrideRite.com.

These fun sneakers are from an older Babu Lulu line. We have a lot of clothes from this line, and my oldest daughter actually just outgrew these shoes. I searched high and low for them at the time. I even posted my first ”Wanted it Now” on ebay with no luck before finally stumbling upon them somewhere else. We loved them, and I was excited recently to see them make a reappearance online. The color scheme is perfect for fall, and they are a great match for outfits from this line (which are still alive and well on ebay and elsewhere). The only problem is that these are currently only available in a size 6. If that will fit your little one, you can pick them up for the bargain price of $16.50 at forgetmenotkids.com. I’ve seen a few pairs on ebay recently as well,

If you like high fashion clothing and accessories for your daughter, and don’t mind paying premium prices for upscale products, you might want to check out these patent leather Mary Janes from Prada.  I always think that Mary Janes are a perfect fall shoe–they provide just the right transition between summer and winter shoes.  And what better color for fall and winter wear than this deep red?  These shoes would look great with both casual wear or slightly more dressy attire.  They would even work with some holiday dresses.

If you would like to invest in a pair of these shoes, you can buy them for $185 at SaksFifthAvenue.com.  They are available in sizes from a toddler 9.5 to a child’s 3.

We have had great luck with Keen shoes in our family.  They are very comfortable, versatile, and they have a unique appearance that I love.  I recently fell in love with these Payson infant/toddler shoes that are part of the company’s new line. I always like Mary Janes, because they go with just about anything in your little girl’s wardrobe.  Add in the hip styling that makes the Payson identifiably Keen, and you’ve got a great modern twist on this classic style of shoe.  These don’t seem to be in our local shoe store yet, but they are available at a number of online stores.

Available in either “Brandied Apricot,” or “Grayed Jade,” these shoes are made in both infant/walker and toddler sizes.  The feature a leather upper with a rubber sole.  You can purchase a pair for $44.95 (with free shipping until October 28) at Nordstrom.com.

Jennifer Garner’s and Ben Affleck’s daughter has recently been spotted out and about in these great little shoes from Naturino. These cute little canvas sneakers are available in a number of fun colors including bright orange. They are made using the company’s trademarked “Sand Effect” system, which mimics the effects of walking in sand and promotes foot health–a great feature for growing feet.

The Mary Jane styling makes them versatile–I could see them going well with shorts and a tee shirt or even a casual dress. You will love the way your child looks in these cute little shoes, and feel good knowing that you are promoting healthy development.

You can purchase a pair for $67 at Zappos.com. They are available in toddler sizes from 6-13.

Here’s a way to dress up your infant’s outfit without paying for expensive and often impractical dress shoes. These faux dress shoes are made from soft and comfortable cotton/spandex, with non-skid bottoms. The set includes six pairs of baby socks in six colors packaged in a very sweet shoe box.

Now, infants don’t need to wear shoes (because they’re not walking yet!) but when they’re dressed in an adorable, dressy little outfit for a special occassion, you just have to put something on their feet! Try these Mary Jane style socks by Trumpette.

These are a reasonable, practical and fun way to dress up your baby. Price: $24.50 per set, fits 0-12 months, at apeainthepod.com.
