Retails for $19.90-$22.90
Why It's A Top Seller:

“It’s a stretchy sandal with neoprene and leather for girls and boys. Right now it’s a hot little item; it’s soft and light and a lot of places don’t carry them. It’s a good little style.”

Price:
Retails for $26.90
Why It's A Top Seller:

“It comes in widths with Velcro closure. When kids are 2 years old, their feet haven’t grown long and still have a lot of meat to them, so a lot of them need that width.”

Retails for $27
Why It's A Top Seller:

“These shoes go up to 3 years old. There’s not one that really takes off; boys will want the racecar or firetruck and girls like the butterfly or fuschia with white and pink flowers.”

Price:
Retails for $23
Why It's A Top Seller:

“Four years ago you couldn’t get Crocs, but I could buy Nothinz and Veggies. They look like Crocs, but they don’t have a negative heel. They’re softer. Pink, navy and black are the best.”
