Petite Maloles

Food. Shelter. Fashion icon status. When it comes to parenting, you want your kids to have the necessities.

But getting your toddler jazzed up about striking a pose when The Cheetah Girls are around? Forget it.

Distract her with Petite Maloles, mini versions of adult-size Maloles shoes, now available by advance order for February in-store delivery.

They’re made with quality materials like canvas, suede, and leather in charming styles such as ballet flats or patent leather sandals with metallic trim. And each pair is sized from 3 to 12 months, which means you can rest easy knowing baby is always stylish.

Not to mention well-heeled.

Available at Scoop Kids, 875 Washington Street, between Ninth and Tenth Avenues (212-691-1926). To see styles, go to maloles.com.
