My grandson turns 2 next week so I whipped up some Mocs for him. I'm sure he'll have full of sand spurs in no time.
Have you ever thought about doing a 'turn shoe' style? Sew them inside out, and then turn them back, and your stitched seams disappear. The seam also lasts longer because it's protected from wear.
Isn't that what we're looking at here?
Yup... that's what I said a few posts up.
