Noteworthy Shoes

Signing yearbooks is so 2007. This end-of-school season, kids can record their "H.A.G.S!" (Have a great summer!)," "2 Good 2 Be 4 Gotten," and other sentimental, motivational little phrases on their kicks with the Payless Friendship shoe. The canvas Airwalk® sneakers come with a marker kit so your kid and her friends can create a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes.

Payless will donate 100% of the net profits from the sale of the Friendship Shoe to The Fresh Air Fund, which sends New York inner-city children to rural camps and suburban host family homes for a free summer vacation.

But why should your kids have all the footwear fun? They come in adult sizes too, so grab a pair for yourself! Maybe to write your to-do list and reminders on throughout the day?
