xbones Sweet Shoes

By 18 months old, Madelyn had been on her brother’s skateboard many times which we’ve all gotten a kick out of. Now she can not only play like a skateboarder, she can look like a skateboarder as well!

xbones soft soled, skateboarding-inspired shoes for babies, are casual shoes with a sporty style. Available in several colors, Sweet Shoes are not just for the girls.

Sweet
Shoes are hand made of genuine suede leather and are developmentally
appropriate for your child’s growing foot. Sweet Shoes feature a foam layer
in the sole for extra cushioning. Velcro straps make them easy to use.
They are machine washable and can be worn indoors and outdoors.

Sweet Shoes was launched just recently by Mandi, a mother of three so she is well aware of the need for comfortable yet stylish baby shoes.

Babycakes, gifts, and glamour… thats what Babycakes of Scottsdale offers expecting and new parents.

I didn’t know what a Babycake was until a few years ago. I thought it was an actual cake that you eat!
To an expecting mom, a babycake is better than the real thing. No calories, but full of fun!

Vincent Shoes

May 21, 2007ShoesAlicia

Vincent Shoes. Fun, fashionable, and functional.

Sebastian has three pairs. Madelyn has two pairs. I have zero. I am waiting for Vincent Shoes to announce they are going to make shoes for adults. I LOVE their designs and am not sure how long I can go on with my kids having cooler shoes than I do.

The Vincent™ collection of kids’ shoes and children’s shoes are fun,
fashionable and functional. Based in Raleigh, NC, Vincent Shoes is the
exclusive distributor for North America of the Vincent shoe brand,
which is 100% focused on kids’ shoes and children’s shoes, including
kids sneakers, kids dress shoes, kids dress-up shoes, prewalkers, kids
indoor shoes, baby booties, kids leather boots, kids rain boots, kids
snow boots, kids rubber boots, kids slippers, kids high tops and kids
sandals.

Visiting the Vincent Shoe website is like a breath of fresh air for those of us who shop online. The "model", "gender", "color", "size", and "occasion" menus make finding the perfect shoes for your kids, a snap.

Worried about getting right size? No problem. The Vincent Shoes printable Shoe Fitter Guide will help you choose the right size shoes for your kids.

On to the shoes..

This super cute pink and purple shoe is the MARTIN. This shoe looks great with both casual and dressy outfits. I thought it might take Madelyn a little while to adjust to the shoe but from the minute I put the MARTIN on Madelyn, she walked with confidence.

Sebastian’s third pair of Vincent’s is the OSKAR .

Sebastian isn’t supposed to go outside without shoes on, but he hates taking the time to put them on. What seven year old doesn’t? The OSKAR, being the stylish and sporty sandal it is, is an easy shoe to slip on and off quickly. When Sebastian gets home from school he takes his OSKAR’s off and puts them by the door for easy access when it’s time to go outside and play. Just like Vincen’t’s baby shoes, their children’s shoes have great tread. Sebastian has done some of his best tree climbing in his OSKAR’s. The double velcro straps ensure that they stay on, but the sandal style gives his feet the air they need to keep his feet nice and cool.

I recommend Vincent Shoes to all my mommy friends with baby’s and older children. Their baby shoes are great for little walkers, and they even have a selection of shoes for pre-walkers.
