We are in purple fever at our house... i found these the other day on hanna andersson and thought i could find them elsewhere, but i'm coming up empty:

i can find the brown and pink other places, but not the purple? am i stuck paying hanna shipping/tax and maybe them not fitting and dealing with returns? the closest store to us is over an hour away....so i'd rather deal with amazon/zappos/6pm or whatever so i had free shipping/returns (esp since these say they run small)

help?

i think the purple is a hanna exclusive.

after searching and searching, that was my fear. oh *sigh*
i might as well just admit to myself that i'm doing this.... and do it so that she'll have them for more "purple fridays" (we are fans of purple, not necessarily the ravens...but we are trying to embrace that we live in maryland ;))

Saks 5th and Zappos seem to have a more reddish purple. You could also try calling Hanna CS and maybe maybe they could find them for you in one of the stores? It's a long shot since they don't tend to carry the shoes, but worth a try.

Don't know anything about these and the reviews mention weak laces, but LE is having their F&F sale right now so that would take another 30% off the $20 sale price. It might help take the sting out of any shipping costs for you.

Note the reviews aren't great so you may want to stick with the name brand.

What shoe size is your DD? Last year See Kai Run had similar boots, and maybe you would be able to find a pair, but last year's styles only went up to a size 13, I think. It's the "Kinley" style. Here's a link to them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/See-Kai-Run-Kinley-Toddler/dp/B007EIMYH8
Shoes.com (don't know about their return policy) still has them in size 13: http://www.shoes.com/en-US/Product/EC1324722-5184203/See+Kai+Run/Purple/Kids+Kinley+Tod_Pre.aspx

Not sure what size but a quick ebay search 'purple girls boots" found a lot.

I purchased the purple ones from Hanna. They are to die for cute! I was able to get them 20% off a while back when they had a banner on their website for 20% off one item. You can also now have items shipped for free to a Hanna store! They do run small. My 7 year old dd is just barely getting into a size 2 and I ordered the size 3 boots. They fit great with just a little bit of a pinch at the toe. I'm half tempted to order a size 4, but I'm afraid those would be too big.

what size do you need?
These boots (http://www.seekairun.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=KINLEY) from seekairun are on sale and pretty cute, but limited sizes left.

thanks everyone! i need a 13 or maybe bigger if i get the hannas.... i really like the purple of those-- less plum and more true purple. i did order the mocs from lands end, but i'm not sure those will work.

we were actually at a hanna store this weekend, but i didn't have time to have anything shipped there (it was a last minute decision). we are over an hour from the closest hanna, so having them shipped to store isn't practical. (i'm actually glad i called to check if the stores carried shoes because we would have wasted a whole trip....as it was we went to another hanna location, no shoes there either, but since the trip wasn't "shoe" specific it was ok ;))

i think i'll eventually crack and order the boots directly -- kissmekate-- did you get the 2 or 3 fringe style? i'm waffling :)

We got the taller 3 fringe style. I like the taller ones so she can wear them with skinny pants, skirts, or dresses. They are very, very cute. The purple is such a great color. They feel a bit heavy with all the fringe, but my dd didn't complain when trying them on. She's soooo picky about shoe fit and feel and she said that they felt great. We live in Colorado and it has been too warm still to wear them, but it's supposed to be cold on Friday so I'll let you know what she thinks after she wears them all day to school.
