Duchess Bubblegum Sparkles Shoe Version 2.0
Introducing the new version 2.0 of ikiki shoes. We took the ikiki squeaky shoes you love and made them even better. Here are some of the improvements to the shoe.
- Wider opening - We took our wide opening shoes and made them open even wider. This makes ikiki V2.0 shoes super easy to get on, even with braces.
- Improved outer fabric - The ikiki V2.0 shoes have an easier to clean fabric that is much more durable.
- Improved inner fabric - The inner fabric of the ikiki V2.0 shoes is significantly more abrasion resistant. This allows it to better hold up to rubbing from braces.
- Slightly longer strap - The slightly longer strap means that most kids won't need a strap extender with chubby feet or braces.
- Improved pull loop - The larger and higher-placed pull loop lets you easily pull on the ikiki shoes with a single finger.
And we kept all of the other things that made ikiki shoes great.
- Squeaks can be turned on/off with a switch
- Squeaker in heel can help promote proper heel to toe gait
- Breathable fabric
- Roomy Fit with a wide toe box
- Single Velcro strap
- Supportive high-top design
- Durable non-marking rubber outsole
- Free Shipping and Size Exchanges
Duchess Bubblegum Sparkles, also known as "Sparkles," "DBS" or simply "The Duchess," eschewed the rules of royal etiquette from a young age.
It's not that she wanted to disappoint her parents, she just couldn't imagine living a life banned from Monopoly or squeaking with delight whenever she wants.
As anyone who has ever tried to curtsy with four legs will tell you, it is neither graceful nor ladylike, but an exercise in ridiculousness.
What she longs for is a life free from the spotlight, to discover the beauty of the real world outside the palace walls and away from the paparazzi. Since leaving, she’s held a series of jobs considered boring by conventional standards:
- Cheese Slicer (the cheese was just too tempting)
- Stapler (a declining industry thanks to email - people just don't collate like they used to)
- Envelope Licker (she enjoyed this, but an episode of her favorite comedy convinced her it's too dangerous)
- Toll Booth Operator (she loved meeting new people, though they often seemed in a hurry)
- Sport Clothing Product Tester (that came to a sharp end when she got moved to the hat department)
Despite forsaking her royal life, The Duchess' presence still commands attention whenever she walks into a room. She is, after all, still royalty, something unique to her extended family and the occasional Hollywood starlet.
She is currently in the second round of interviews to become a sign-holder for a local noodle house where she recently befriended an affable dragon. While she doesn't have actual sign-holding experience, the owner can't deny the fact that a unicorn waving his sign will turn heads, though he does worry that the medium may eclipse the message
