When it comes to the shoes my kids wear I am incredibly picky. I want to make sure I'm doing what's best for their developing little feet...while at the same time, like to find shoes that are cute and stylish too. I am always on the lookout for good quality shoes and was happy to come across Umi and their great selection of children's shoes!
With the belief that every step your child takes is as important as their very first, Umi is dedicated to providing high quality children's shoes that are comfortable and stylish. Every shoe made is tested for safety and durability and meets strict guidelines for child-safe materials. With their many years of experience and dedication to providing the very best for little feet...it's no wonder Umi is a name parents have grown to know and trust!
When I learned we were going to have the opportunity to review a pair of Umi shoes, I couldn't have been happier. I was impressed with the selection of boys shoes and girls shoes, and although a difficult decision with so many cute ones to choose from...we decided to go with the Chickadee in Chocolate for Kaelyn and I'm so happy we did!
The shoes arrived in a signature Umi box. I love when companies take the time to package their products in a way that sets them apart.
As I pulled the Chickadee shoes out of the box, I was instantly drawn to the adorable details! I mean, how cute are these?!
I absolutely love the decorative stitching and scalloped-edge heel, as well as the great colors! They're something that go with almost everything Kaelyn wears which is great! They're very stylish and definitely stand out. In the times she's worn them, we've received several compliments as well as people asking where we got them.
I am also very impressed with the quality! The Butter-soft leather is incredibly soft, yet durable enough to protect her feet. It also resists scuffing which keeps them looking as good as new every time she wears them!
Kaelyn is at an age where she's becoming more and more independent. She insists on dressing herself and that means everything from her shirt and pants down to her shoes. Since she doesn't know how to tie her shoes, it's always nice to have something easy for her to fasten them. That's one of the features I like best about the Chickadee shoes. With a simple strap that has Velcro, it couldn't be any easier for her to do on her own. I love it!
Overall we've been very happy with these Umi shoes and would love to purchase a pair for Kaden at some point. They are well-made and much thought has gone into making them comfortable and stylish for even the smallest of feet. I would highly recommend checking them out if you haven't, and think they would make a terrific gift for any child on your list this Christmas!
Buy It: You can purchase the Chickadee shoes for $56 at UmiShoes.com!
Win It: One lucky reader is going to win a pair of Umi Shoes!
