Back to school shopping - the coolest kids' shoes
With metallics being all the rage in footwear, our kids can shine in more ways than one this school year. But as with any trend, too much of a good thing can take a metallic detail from "cool" to "disco ball" pretty quickly. So take a look at some of our favorite fall footwear finds that do metallic right---no sunglasses needed.

Silver Glitter Leo Sneaker
Sure, they'll jump higher and run faster, but machine washable? Now that's something special.

Kai Blake Shoe
A little gun-metal gray spiffs up these versatile boys' shoes in bigger-kid sizes.

Converse Kids All Star Easy Slip
Love the cool high-top cut in glittery silver. The kids will also love the stretchy, no-tie laces.
($35 at Converse)
Another silver choice from Converse - the Chuck Taylor All-Stars in a silver low-rise with a sweet blue trim. ($35 at Zappos)

Umi Cassie shoe
Silver shine is so pretty and sets these Mary Janes apart from their basic black sisters. Your kids won't just save them for fancy occasions.
($59 at Umi)
Boumy Leather Booties
Great little modern booties for those to whom "back-to-school" means another session of Mommy-and-Me classes.
($32)
Beeko Sagato
A little silver piping and shiny rivets look super hip against this retro style.
($55 at Zappos)
With their lavender ribbon laces, these casual kicks are good as gold.
($48 at Tea Collection)
