Gotta Have It: Cowboy Boots That Grow with Your Kid

You never thought that shoe-shopping could be anything less than a divine experience. That was before you had kids and started dropping major bucks every few months for shoes that are outgrown in about a millisecond.

Ariat, makers of western apparel, came up with a genius solution called the Booster Bed. Just pick out a pair of their country-cool cowboy boots in your child's current size. The Booster Bed will automatically be loaded into the boot so it fits now, but can be easily removed later to extend the boot by a half size.

Choose from goes-with-everything traditional brown styles or go flashy with hot pink or turquoise cowgirl versions. With thick rubber soles and special technology that makes them super comfy, these boots will take whatever your little buckaroo throws at them, even if none of it actually involves riding a horse.
