See Kai Run baby & toddler shoes: a review

Shoes

Seekairunshoes
See Kai Run shoes are adorable shoes designed for pre and new walkers. Made from soft leather with a leather lining, See Kai Run shoes provide the ultimate in comfort for little feet.   Madelyn says so!  I love fun designs for both boys and girls like the April design Madelyn is wearing in the photo to the right.

See Kai Run shoes are sturdy with a thick but soft sole and great tread making them perfect for new walkers.

One of my personal favorite’s is the Stella mary jane style which is pictured below.  The green suede, pink and cream shoe with faux-fur trim is sure to make any little girl look like a princess! 

See Kai Run has a lot of styles to choose from and are available for children up to 3 years old.  Their current selection includes sandals, boots and mary janes in a wide variety of colors and some have cute embellishments.

Shoos Shoos: a shoe that will stay on baby’s foot

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Baby & Kids Clothing, Shoes

ShooshoosI like to wear shoes all of the time and I prefer that my kids do the
same.  I can remember at least three times when I stepped on something
and regretted not having shoes on. When Madelyn started walking, I quickly learned that if I wanted her to wear shoes around the house and not just when we are out, the shoes must be comfortable.  Makes sense doesn’t it?

A gentle elastic ankle, a no-slip suede sole, and the absence of laces is what makes shooshoos baby shoes special.  The gentle elastic ankle makes getting these shoes on Madelyn, a cinch and help keep her feet warm and cozy for hours at a time.  Madelyn wears the Pink Suede / Fleece Collar shoes shown to the right when there is a chill in the air and whenever she feels it is necessary.. she has a shoe fetish.

I love the flexibility of shooshoos and they offer both classic & unique styles for boys and girls.  Boys will impress daddy’s golf buddies when wearing the brown golf shoes, while girls can be dainty in the ballet style shoes.

shooshoos offers a wide variety of soft leather baby shoes to fit babies from 0 – 24 months.  With shoes starting at $14.95 the pricing is impressive.   shooshoos make a perfect baby shower or new baby gift as well as a great addition to your own baby’s shoe collection. Because they are so affordable, your baby can collect several pairs and have a shoe fetish like Madelyn!

Pediped: a review of baby & toddler shoes

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Baby & Kids Clothing, Shoes

PedipedflexHow cute are these?  pediped™ has expanded their offering with a new line called Flex for older walkers ages 2 – 5 years old. pediped™ is known for their stylish infant and baby leather-soled line which is recommended by the American Podiatric Medical Association.

pediped™ is courageous with their styles, being a bit fantastical but that is what makes them so appealing.  I received these three styles to review, but they are a tad too big on Madelyn’s feet so I don’t have photographs.  Because I love our readers, I am going to give these three pairs of pediped Flex™ shoes away to one lucky reader!  Continue reading to learn how to enter to win these 3 pairs of size 6 pediped Flex™ shoes.

pediped Flex™ shoes are easy for Madelyn to put on and take off.  She is very independent these days and wants to put her shoes, panties, and pants on all by herself. I give us at least 20 extra minutes before leaving the house now so dress herself.  Madelyn still wears pediped Originals (sometimes she puts them on at nap time) because her feet are a little small for the Flex™ shoes but I have no doubt that she will wear pediped’s Flex™ shoes as soon as she can!

The pediped™ line of larger rubber-soled footwear, pediped Flex™, is available in designs for both boys and girls ages 2 to 5+ years. Available in children’s sizes 6 to 12, pediped Flex™ are perfect for the child that has outgrown pediped Originals™ and is ready for the next stage in footwear.

Robeez Tredz + Giveaway!

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Baby & Kids Clothing, Shoes,

Madelyn is 20 months now and like most toddlers, she is all over the place.  Robeeztredz1
Climbing, jumping, dancing, running.  For the first year of her life she wore soft-soled baby shoes but now that she spends a lot of time playing outside her feet need the protection of a thicker soled shoe while still having the flexibility of the soft soled shoes.   Robeez’s new outdoor toddler shoe line, Tredz, offers just what she needs.. a thick soled super flexible shoe. Beyond that, Tredz are lightweight, water-resistant and grippy so Madelyn’s little feet have a good grip on smooth and wet surfaces.  A lot of  toddler shoes are either practical or cute/.  Rarely are toddler shoes both cute and have what a little toddler foot needs; flexibility and protection.  Robeez has done a great job with their new Tredz line, combining the best of both. 

Not lacking in selection, the Tredz line includes over one dozen designs featuring soothing and ‘earthy’ colored shoes decorated with cute flower, truck, and duck embellishments.

Tredzkittit
Tredz have a
adjustable fasteners and elastic ankles to keep them on active toddlers and the cushioned insoles provide all day comfort for little one’s on the go.

I found that Tredz run a little large. Madelyn is an average size 20 month old and the 20-24 month size is a little big on her.  You might want to try a size smaller than what you think your toddler would wear.

I am going to try to get a photograph of Madelyn in her Tredz but because they are a little big I don’t know if they will stay on long enough.

We received two pairs of Tredz from our great friends at Robeez and because we are so nice we are going to give away one pair. It pains me to do so, but it is the right of all parents to have the opportunity to experience the super cuteness of Tredz just like Madelyn and I have.  Simply leave a comment on this post letting me know what you think of Robeez baby shoes and/or the looks of the new Tredz line and I will choose a winner at random to receive a pair of Robeez. They are all girl styles so please keep that in mind when entering. CONTEST RUNS UNTIL February 15th, 08.

LandsendbabyLands’ End is known for making durable, comfortable clothes and they didn’t leave the little one’s out. Little did I know, they have a large line of girls and boys baby clothes and accessories to fit ages 0-24 months. The pictures to the left are just a small sampling of the Lands’ End baby line.  Offering everything from ‘footy pajamas’ to knit sweaters their pieces are sure to give your baby a classic, timeless look all the while keeping them comfortable and cozy in the soft materials.

Pieces like the Woven Jumper Madelyn is wearing to the left can be worn alone for a casual look or with co-ordinating onesies, tights, and shoes for a more dressy look.

Machine washable, this Woven Dress quickly became one of my favorite pieces in Madelyn’s wardrobe.  The Mary Janes are crafted with genuine suede leather uppers, breathable leather linings and soft suede outsoles and Madelyn is happy wearing them for hours. I was bummed when the shoes got dirty while we were at a park recently but low and behold, a little wiping got the dirt right off. Priced at just $14.50, Lands’ End’s Mary Janes are a steal.
