Let your kids wear their hearts on their sleeves — or more accurately their feet — with Fayvel's athletic shoes. With fun Velcro-backed embroidered patches ($12 for a four-pack) depicting unicorns, pirates, astronauts, fairies and more, these sneakers ($50) can run wild with personality as patches can be swapped out with changing tastes and interests. "I wanted to pay tribute to the imagination we have as children," says owner and creator Erin Slater, who transforms children's sketches into the wearable art. "When I was a child, I used to trade stickers with my best friend on the porch," she says. "It's about friendship, creativity and fun." 800-595-2490, fayvelwear.com
