Baby & Mommy Must-haves Event #11: Inch Blue Baby Shoes Review & Giveaway

When it comes to finding shoes for my kids, I want to make sure that I am doing what's best for their developing little feet. While I like to find shoes that are cute and stylish, it's also important that they are great quality too. Thankfully, I know I can find all of these things with Inch Blue and their adorable handmade soft leather shoes.

A family run business, Inch Blue is based in South Wales on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. Since their start in the late 1990's, they have come a long way...today being a well known UK brand of baby shoes! While they believe design is important, Inch Blue knows that is not everything. They realize the need for also using the right materials, looking after the environment and listening to their customers as well. Offering over 100 original styles, hand crafted and designed right in Wales, Inch Blue shoes are fresh, fun and come in many bright colors...making it easy to find shoes that suit every style and taste.

When I first came across Inch Blue, I was impressed with their large selection of boy shoes and girl shoes. These are the type of shoes I keep an eye out for for my kids, which is why I couldn't have been happier to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review a pair. I enjoyed browsing through all of the styles and designs, there were so many it was difficult to choose just one. After much browsing, I finally decided to go with the Sports Navy/Grey Suede and am so happy I did!
When the boys shoes arrived, I was immediately impressed with the way they come packaged. Anyone who reads here often, knows how much I appreciate a company that takes time and care into the way they present their products. Inch Blue definitely did not disappoint! I love how they were presented and think it makes them a perfect choice for gift-giving!

Of course, I couldn't wait to check them out! As I pulled them out of the package, I was really happy with the quality. These shoes are made from the best quality, softest leather. I could tell that they would be very comfortable for Kaden to wear around and able to withstand the wear and tear of daily use. The soft breathable leather is not only durable, but it protects and allows his feet to grow naturally....something that's very important to me when it comes to the shoes my kids wear!
There is a non-slip suede sole on the bottom, ideal for tiled and wooden floors which we have in our house. These bottoms have proven helpful as Kaden runs around the house. I am comforted to know that they are safe. They keep him from slipping, and the elasticated ankles make sure that the shoes stay on. It also makes getting them on and off a piece of cake.

Overall we've been really happy with the Inch Blue shoes we received. They are absolutely adorable and go with pretty much anything Kaden wears. The quality is also great, and gives Kaden the comfort his little growing feet need. In fact, he grabs them out of his closet to put on many times a week. He loves them! Made exclusively from soft natural leather, these shoes seem like the next best thing to bare feet. I'm very happy to have been introduced to this company and would definitely recommend their high quality baby shoes to other parents I know. The best part...they're not just for babies! Even if you have toddlers and older children...there's something for everyone. Inch Blue makes shoes for toddlers and children aged up to 6 years!
