Isn’t it crazy how kids outgrow shoes and clothes in a ridiculous amount of time? It seems like I have just bought Chan or Rowan a new shirt or pair of shoes, and next thing I know, it’s too small. Wouldn’t it be awesome if there were a shoe that could grow with your child? There is, they are called Inchworm Shoes.
Pros: I absolutely love the concept behind these shoes. We were able to review the Milan Strap in a size 10-11.I really like the style and color of the Milan and feel that it is very trendy. Inchworm shoes have 2 sizes in one. Their iFit technology allows the shoe to “grow” expanding it’s size right before your eyes. Chan is in a size 10 right now. Once that is too small, there is a button on the side that you push. You then pull on the shoe to expand it. The bottom part of the shoe has a small view window that let’s you know what size it is. It starts as a size 10, and can expand to a size 10.5 and size 11. 
Since his foot isn’t growing quite so fast, I expect that these shoes will last us a good year. To understand this concept fully, with great pictures, visit here. Nice, right? Chandler loves these shoes because they are easy to take on and off. This particular style has a velcro closure on the top which is holds in place very well. The velcro really stays in place. The shoes are very durable, and although we’ve only had it a few weeks, they still look brand new. The inside sole and padding seem very comfortable and the bottom of the sole is quite thick with great traction. We are planning to do some hiking this summer as a family, and I think these shoes will be great for Chandler because of the comfort and traction. Inchworm shoes are offered in children’s size, starting at a size 10-11, and going up to sizes 4-5. With 18 styles to choose from, there is bound to be something you’ll love.

Cons: These shoes are a bit heavier than Chandler’s other shoes, and I think it took him a day or two to get used to that. The middle part of the shoe that extends is also not very flexible. I think this could be due to the fairly new technology, and the fact that it needs to be less flexible to provide support and be able to extend. I’m sure that it is something that will get better in time as Chan breaks them in. It’s also hard to extend the shoe, I struggled with a bit, but it 
seems like consumers have also been concerned about this aspect, as it is in Inchworm’s FAQ’s. Here’s how Inchworm responded:
seems like consumers have also been concerned about this aspect, as it is in Inchworm’s FAQ’s. Here’s how Inchworm responded:“We like to say that our shoes are, “parent adjustable”. They do require some hand strength to adjust- however, we would not want children to adjust the shoes, and we would not want them to inadvertently change sizes while in use. Therefore we have made them firm in the adjustment area. Consider also that the shoes will be adjusted only a couple or a few times during the time that they are owned.
We also find that it is helpful to view the size on the bottom before attempting to change the size. This way, one can tell whether to “open” or “close” the shoe.”

Fair enough, this definitely makes sense. And honestly, how often are you going to be changing the size?
I would also love to see how Inchworm was founded and a shoe sizing guide put up on their site.
The Bottom Line: Wonderful Innovative product that will save Moms time and money when it comes to buying shoes. A bit heavy and unflexible, but seem to be outweighed by the Cons.
