Tiny Toms for Kids Provide Shoes to Children in Need

Guest post: TheFind.com, New posts, Shoes, , ,


TOMS Shoes is a shoemaker that gives a new pair of shoes to a child in need for each pair of shoes sold. New to TOMS Shoes is the children’s Tiny TOMS line. It is a wonderful gift to provide a child in a third world country with a pair of shoes. Many children in developing countries are at risk of infection when they walk on contaminated soil to school. Providing shoes helps to lead children healthy active lives without risk of injuring their feet.

Recently TOMS Shoes launched a collection of kids shoes that come in the cool graphic prints in slip-on and mary jane styles. The Silver Glitter Mary Jane Tiny TOMS (upper left, $34 at Tomsshoes.com) is sure to appeal to petite princesses and also comes in gold. The Peace Sign Slip-on (upper right, $60 at Neiman Marcus), Olive/Grey Camo Tiny TOMS (lower left,$34 at Tomsshoes.com) and Remarque Tiny TOMS ($34.00 at Tomsshoes.com) will fit appeal to the coolest kids on the playground.

Shoe Review + Giveaway: Katie Bug Shoes

Madelyn can’t hide from me now – she squeaks!

Katie Bug ShoesMadelyn recently got a pair of KatieBugShoes.com Pickle shoes and I wish I had the video camera shooting when she put them for the first time.. her face was so funny! She didn’t know what was going on with her feet.
She took off like a crazy girl about 5 seconds after she realized how fun it was to wear squeaky shoes. She ran around the middle level of the house at least 3 times without stopping. We were all cracking up!

See Madelyn’s squeaky shoes in action here:

These are not your average squeaky shoes. Pickle Shoes are perfect for early walkers and toddlers ages 1-4. I am very impressed with the flexibility and softness of the Pickle’s Supplesoft leather. Madelyn was able to walk run in them right away without needing a “break in” period. Just as is stated on the Katie Bug Shoes website, “Your child won’t want to take them off!”.. Madelyn doesn’t want to take her squeaky shoes off once she has them on. What’s really cool is that the squeakers are removable which means that she can wear the shoes to school and not get kicked out! You can feel pretty confident that you won’t lose track of your child while at the playground if she’s wearing Katie Bug Shoes’ squeaky shoes.. that’s for sure! That’s not an excuse to take your eyes off your child at the playground though.
Like I’ve done with the kids over the years, I’ve learned to tune the squeaking noise out when we’re at home. She loves to go up and down the stairs and make ‘songs’ with her squeaky shoes. Cute.

Madelyn wears a size 9-10 shoe but their largest size, size 8, fits her great. She can even wear socks as shown in the photograph and video above.

More about Katie Bug Shoes:

  • Squeakers can be removed
  • Non skid soles
  • Lots of styles
  • Sizes 4-8

Vincent Shoes - back to school shoes for kids

How cute are these shoes?

My kids have been wearing Vincent shoes for almost 3 years.. not the same ones. I am always amazed at how freakin’ cute they are and how well they hold up.  Sebastian wore his OSKAR‘s forever.

Vincent Shoes:

  • are stylish shoes for kids
  • are durable
  • provide comfortable protection for little feet
  • wipe clean with a damp cloth
  • are available for babies through school age kids
  • true sizes (not sized by month/age)
  • available in lots of cute styles and colors

Madelyn is wearing the Susan style in the photograph above. The Susan is a low cut boot with soft inner padding that protects her little feet and will surely keep them warm on cold days.  She LOVES them and wore them for hours the first day she had them despite having no where to go to show them off.

Visit Vincent Shoes to check out their Back-to-School selection and shop their latest styles.
