I have 3 boys. They all grow so quickly and don’t stay in clothes or shoes very long. This is a dilemma mostly for my wallet. My kids barely stay in shoes for more than a season and the older they get, the quicker they are transitioning out.
Hand-me-downs are a great concept and we do use them for many clothing items but, boys shoes are definitely the hardest thing to hand down. We like our kids to have fun outside and not always worry about them getting dirty while still having a nice, quality pair of shoes.
Well, we have found the PERFECT solution: EasyKicks. This company is truly genius. Here is how it works….
Your child is shipped a brand new pair of Nikes or Converse shoes in a personalized mailer. This is the cutest thing and my children loved that it was addressed to them.
Your child can wear them out or just exchange them for another size or style at any time. Amazing.
You simply pick a new pair of shoes that you want to try. Shoes will arrive in 3-5 days.
Place the old shoes in a prepaid return bag that they send to you. Place it in your mailbox and they will be recycled.
My favorite part is that you can send another pair of shoes your child no longer uses and they will give them to children in need. Most of the shoes when sent back are recycled to be used in playgrounds and sports fields through Nike Grind. How amazing is this?!
Best part: This on-demand membership is only $20/a month. When our family did the math on how much we spend in one year for each child. This is a big savings for us. We don’t have to have anxiety about our kids ruining wild in their good shoes or making them last as long as possible. It’s a win-win.
I’m so happy I learned about EasyKicks. I hope you will try them out as they truly are one of my favorite companies that I have come across. My readers can even snag a discount! Apply EZ10 at checkout for $10 off your first month. 3 month minimum required.

I am not a mother, but I am a nanny and I will definitely pass this article along to the woman I nanny for. She spends so much money on shoes every month! Loving the 76ers shirt by the way…we’re from Philly too!

Vicki @ Babies to Bookworms
This sounds amazing! It is unbelievable how much kid’s shoes cost considering they grow out of them so quickly! I will definitely have to check this out!
jehava.brown@gmail.com
Yes! Please do.

This is such a great idea! Why do boys grow so fast?! (I’ve only got one – a toddler and he grows so fast!) I really love how simple this is and that it makes it easy to keep the old shoes out of landfills by re purposing them! That is really awesome! Also, I bet it is a real treat for the boys to get a package directly to them in the mail!
jehava.brown@gmail.com
Right?!! They absolutely love it!
Adree
This sounds awesome! My little man gets his shoes so dirty and they wear out so fast with all of his activity. I need to look into this program.
jehava.brown@gmail.com
Yes,this service would be perfect!
Rachel G
Very cool! I definitely love the recycling aspect of the program! Kids’ feet do grow so fast, and yet they are pretty tough on their shoes, so hand-me-downs are not always feasible!
jehava.brown@gmail.com
Yes very true!
Angela Fry

Love this idea so much. I need it for my child too, it seems like her feet grows so fast and I have to change her shoes every 3 months. I love it that they can recycle it for us.

I love this!! My girls are really starting to wear out their sneakers so fast. Although their feet seem to be at a stand still for growth, unlike their height, I still need to replace their sneakers soon. Will definitely have to check this out and do the math for my family.

Yea it’s a super cool service.
