A passionate, thought provoking exploration of walking as a political and cultural activity, from the author of the memoir Recollections of My Nonexistence Drawing together many histories--of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths, of walking clubs and sexual mores--Rebecca Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of possibilities presented by walking. Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers. She profiles some of the most significant walkers in history and fiction--from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton's Nadja--finding a profound relationship between walking and thinking and walking and culture. Solnit argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in our ever more car-dependent and accelerated world.Binding Type: Paperback

Stride Rite is Supreme
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Tan
I have always loved the Stride Rite quality! The shoes are extremely durable. They’re very attractive and easy to dress up or down so that I don’t have to keep five pairs of shoes on hand at all times. The sole is nice and thick and it accommodates wide or regular feet. I love that they use Velcro, which makes it easy to put on. It gives my daughter plenty of cushion when she’s playing outside.

Darling Shoe
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: White
I’ve always been skeptical about purchasing online due to the fact that I’m the kind of person that needs to touch/feel, try out the product. However, when I saw these plus, coming from a brand that I trust, I decided to give them a try. Oh I’m so glad I did! These shoes are just darling! What makes it even better is the comfort. My 2 year old loves her shoes and will wear them around the house just because. She’s a size 7 and that’s what I got for her and the shoe fit is true to size. The cut outs are perfect! I’ve purchased other shoes where the cut outs aren’t as great, hence the hesitation on buying these. I definitely recommend they are a 10/10! On everything even presentation but comfort is what’s important!

Solid Quality

You can never go wrong with stride rite. Love that you can take the inserts out for a little more space. My kid has been able to wear these for kindergarten and first grade.

Cute
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Tan
Cute and great option for preschool that requires more tennis style shoes. Love the strap is longer and can be trimmed down. Seems to have nice support and daughter can easily put them on and off herself. Only downside is the the tan area scuffs pretty easily. We purchased a different pair last year (same brand and looks very similar) and they held up from scuffing better.

Beautiful shoes
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Tan, Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Tan
Beautiful dressy shoes! I used to get another version of these for size 6 when my daughter was younger, now she’s getting into size 7, I got her a pair of these. They look great on her and she loves them. Hope they will last a while.
The size 6 we had were very worn because she loves them so much that she would pick them over all her other shoes.
