Girls' Casual Shoes

Top Casual Shoes for Girls

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Ranging from sporty to nearly dressy, there are so many cute casual girls' shoes to choose from, creating a list of favorites was nearly impossible. The good news is, when it comes to casual shoes for girls, you can't really go wrong. Just look for styles that can be worn with a variety of outfits, and of course, meet with your child's approval. Here are a few of my favorites to get you started.

1. Keds "Craze MJ Sweets" - Girls' Casual Shoes

Sort of like a cross between sneakers and casual shoes, these casual mary janes are super-cute and are perfect for pairing with jeans -- and the fluff-trimmed suede is ideal for cooler weather.

2. Merrell "Jungle Moc" - Slip-On Shoes for Girls

One of the more popular casual shoes, the "Jungle Mocs" from Merrell look great and feature double side goring, so they're easy to slip on and off. I featured them in pink, because I find them irresistible, but they're also offered in several other colors. Perfect with jeans or cords.

3. Adidas "Superstar 2 K" - Casual Girls' Sneakers

If she's like a lot of girls, your daughter probably like sneakers even when she's not participating in an athletic activity. Fortunately, sneakers have become acceptable for every day wear, and there are loads of styles to choose from. Sporty styles like the ones shown here have a cute look that works well with jeans, but darker and less athletic-looking styles can also work well with cords, cargo pants, and even skirts.

4. Stride Rite "Dakota" - Casual Boots for Girls

When the weather gets cold, don't overlook casual boots as an all-day footwear option. Styles like the ones shown here work well with jeans, pants or skirts and tights, and will offer some protection against the elements. Of course, if the weather conditions are extreme, you'll want her to opt for snow boots when she's outside.

5. Keen "Ventura Suede" - Rugged Casual Girls' Shoes

Rugged styles like the ones shown here offer durability, while still looking good. Perfect with jeans, cords or other casual pants, the thick rubber soles and toe guards look cool while giving added protection.
