5 Adorable Mother-Daughter Matching Shoe Pairs

by Lauren Turner

In the era of sharing everything on the internet, it's really easy for parents to take sharing about their kids thing, a little too far. But when Rachel Bilson Instagrammed her daughter's Star Wars vans, I could tell she was already on the right track. After just joining the home of the selfie, I was partially worried about how she was going to do. I mean, when I finally got an Instagram a year ago, I didn't know what I was doing (still don't). But after a few test runs, it seems she knows people love adorable baby stuff.

The 33-year-old mother of two dedicated her third post to her daughter, Briar Rose, while also giving a nod to her Star Wars hubby, Hayden Christensen. The post features two pairs of Vans, the first in little Briar's size, and the second in Bilson's. And when I say they're seriously adorable, I mean seriously adorable.

So are almost all mother-daughter shoe sets. But they're a lot harder to find than you would think. And I'm sure it doesn't happen immediately, but when it does, it's magic. For example, if you find a pair of kitty flats for yourself, and then stumble upon a pair for your daughter, it's basically fate and you must buy them. So, to make it easier for you, I've pulled together 5 adorable mother-daughter matching shoe pairs.

Adidas Sneakers

These little sneakers are great because not only are they practical, but they're also totally on trend — for both of you! (Kids' Junior Adidas Stan Smith Sneakers, $45, jcrew.com. Adidas Originals Stan Smith Sneaker, $75, urbanoutfitters.com.)

Espadrille Flats

These are a fun pair of shoes that you can just throw on your little one (or yourself). They go with almost everything and are super comfy, too. (Espadrilles, $12.95, hm.com. Mint & Rose Menorca Leather Creeper Espadrilles, $175, shop.nordstroms.com).

Minnetonka Fringe Booties
