And around here, happy little feet begin with our gentle hands. Hands that meticulously craft each and every shoe for the utmost in comfort and fit. Hands that simply know how to make a better children’s shoe. So, what makes a better children’s shoe? Years of experience working with age-appropriate lasts, patterns and buttersoft leathers give Umi a step up over everyone else. At Umi, all we make are children’s shoes, and we believe every step your child takes is as important as their very first.

We have worked with UMI in the past and we recently had the opportunity to pick out some Borneo shoes for my little guy to review. With Fall creeping up on us it is almost time to put away the open toe sandals and move to socks and shoes to keep his feet warm. As always I measured my little guys feet and used the UMI sizing chart to make sure I ordered just the right size for him. I always order one size up so he will be able to wear them all season. Man, do kids feet sure grow fast!!! The Borneo’s in chocolate are so cute. They are brown and black so he can wear them with all colors. I love that. The sole is very sturdy and features gripping so he won’t slip and fall when the weather turns wet. They feature two top Velcro straps that I love. I believe Velcro is a must with any child who can’t tie there own shoes. Again Umi does not disappoint. These are sure to outlast the Fall/Winter season and my little guy will be putting a lot of wear and tear on them as he is 100% boy. From dirt to trucks and tractors he will be playing outdoors in them all the time. We are happy to highly recommend them to all mommy’s and kiddos!

We received the opportunity to review the “Naomi” children shoes from Pediped and of course we couldn’t say no! A girl can never have too many shoes…right? That is my mo-to with this new baby girl on the way to us so very soon. When they arrived I pulled them right out of the box and began looking them over. They are super cute to start off with and that is a definite must in a shoe, and the flex in them is amazing.  My hubby even complimented on how cute they were and that doesn’t happen too often. I love how much they can bend and twist. They feature the cutest little details including a tiny black bow on the front of them. I can’t wait to put them on my little girl. They will look great dressed up in a dress for church or dressed down with a pair of jeans and a cute top.

When I first heard of the new line of washable shoes from Pediped. I thought to myself “can it be true, machine washable shoes”?

If you have a little boy then you definitely know why I thought that. My little guy seems to always get so messy and dirty when playing outdoors, so if I could get him shoes that I could throw in the washing machine it would be heaven sent!

Pediped sent me a pair for my little guy from their new washable line. I have always loved Pediped’s shoes because they are soft and flexible. Allowing them to fit my sons feet perfectly. So of course as soon as they came I let him put them to the test. On his feet they went and away into the dirt he went. He wore them while playing outside for about two weeks when they started to look pretty dingy. I then proceeded to throw them in my washer and set them out to dry. GOOD AS NEW! I was very impressed. They looked just as good as the day we got them. I highly recommend these shoes to any mom with kiddos. You just have to try them out yourselves. Oh and why you are there make sure you check out their new memory foam shoes!

-  Say “goodbye” to dirty and smelly shoes! DRYZ® is a specially-formulated, odor resistant insole that controls both moisture and temperature.
Machine Washable - These shoes are made with Clarino, a wash-and-wear fabric that’s virtually indestructible. Simply throw in the washing machine and air dry for perfectly clean shoes–how easy!

Flex Fit System – pediped Flex™ offer a unique fit system. Each pair comes with an additional 2mm insole to customize the fit so it just right for each child. If the child starts with both insoles, as the child’s feet grow the additional insoles may be removed to extend the length of time the child can wear the shoes.
