Mama Shoes

These Lands End trekkers are the perfect shoes for a mom with active boys. I haven't fallen in love with a pair of shoes in a long time, but these have captured my mama heart. They are versatile enough for hiking, splashing through streams, trips to the pool or beach, or just running errands around town. When Noe bled all over them a week after they arrived in the mail, I just hosed them down and let them air dry and they were as good as new. Unlike my husband's trekkers, they don't emit foul odors and are a really comfortable fit. Best of all, I can put them on without hands, which makes the getting-out-the-door process that much faster.

I may have to get a pair in every color.
