Flip-flop days are upon us, but soon enough, it will be time to lace up those runners again. Need help getting your tot trained to tie his own shoes? Leave it to the professionals by attending a free shoe-tying lesson in the Nordstrom kids shoe department. Offered once a month at all locations, typically on the third Saturday, the one-hour classes teach the skill via a clever poem about making tents and mountains, and lots of practice on an oversized shoe from the men’s department. In addition to pride in their achievement, children leave with a bag full of goodies and a certificate of completion bearing their name.
All ages are welcome; call or visit your local Nordstrom for times and to register.
