Pediped graciously sent me a pair of the Grace shoes from their Originals line for me to review. I LOVE these shoes!!


First of all, I love how fun and stylish these shoes are! With so many styles to choose from it's easy to find a pair that is perfect for your little girl or boy!! Pediped has a large selection for both.

Secondly, since Ella is a new walker it was important that the shoes bend with her foot. These shoes are perfect. The leather bottoms are sturdy enough for her to walk on outside surfaces but they still bend to allow her feet to move naturally. She can also easily walk on indoor surfaces like wood and tile without slipping. She has had no problems getting around with these shoes!

Another great feature is the velcro closure that makes these shoes quick and easy to put on or take off. My kids tend to have chubby feet and these shoes easily fit with room to grow. These shoes are well made and sturdy and will outlast the length of time your child will need them.


The Pediped Originals line typically run $32 a pair. Currently there are many pairs available for $19 like the Caroline in Pink or the Liam in chocolate brown/baby blue! Also, coming soon is the Pediped Fall/Winter 2009 line!! This newest line will be available in August so be sure to check em' out!!

**CLOSED**See Kai Run Baby/Toddler Shoe Giveaway

Happy Memorial Day everyone! In honor of this special day I am having another awesome giveaway!
See Kai Run was born in 2004 when one mother was inspired by the need for comfortable shoes with flexible soles for her own little Kai to wear outdoors. She wanted to create a line of shoes that were bold, hip, fun, with an urban sensibility...something entirely different than what was offered! The first shoes hit children's boutiques in November 2004 and the response has been overwhelming ever since!

They offer two lines for little feet, Smaller for ages 0-18mos, and See Kai Run for ages 6mos-3yrs. Both have a variety for girls and boys. There is something for every little tot! These shoes have been spotted on numerous celebrity babies and children!





See Kai Run was gracious enough to send me the Flora from their Smaller line for me to try on Ella! Let me just say that I LOVE these shoes! They arrived packaged in a snazzy silver box and the shoes themselves are made from the softest leather around!


I love the soft and flexible suede soles that are perfect for those little ones learning to walk. The added rubber pads give them a non-slip grip so that you won't have to worry about your little one falling on those hardwood floors.


Not to mention that these shoes are absolutely adorable and can be dressed up for church or down for playtime at the park! The velcro closure makes them simple to put on and take off and allows for an adjustable, comfy fit.


Ella loves her new shoes and walked around in them all afternoon with no problem. See Kai Run and Smaller promote healthy development of babies' and children's feet with their ultra-flexible soles, soft leather and wide toe box. Their footwear meets the American Podiatric Medical Association's rigorous standards for foot health and functionality and has been awarded the APMA's prestigious Seal of Acceptance. You can be rest assured that these shoes are healthy for your little ones growing feet!

Livie & Luca: Baby & Toddler Shoe Review & GIVEAWAY **CLOSED**

The Livie & Luca baby and toddler shoe line was born in May of 2004. This company was a collaborative effort from 3 new mothers who realized that there was a need for modern and funky shoes for babies and toddlers that were also lightweight, soft, super flexible and affordable.
Livie & Luca baby and toddler shoe creations incorporate brightly colored leathers, bold designs and whimsical modern touches that capture the playful essence of childhood. Their comfortable shoe construction allows beginning walkers, toddlers and preschoolers to navigate playgrounds, city streets and dirt pathways with style and ease.

Livie & Luca baby and toddler shoes are made by hand and the markings of the shoe maker can be found under the strap. To reduce their carbon footprint, Livie & Luca chooses to use remains of high quality leather that would otherwise be discarded. In addition, because they are handmade, every pair of shoes will be a little different. Each pair of shoes is as unique as the child who wears them.


Livie & Luca generously sent me a pair of the Tootles in Pink for me to review and let me tell you, these shoes are awesome! First of all they arrived nestled in a sweet little box with a velcro closure and ribbon handle. These shoes are incredibly made. The leather is butter soft and I love the flexible rubber soles! I also love the ease of the velcro strap especially since Halle wants to put her shoes on by herself. These things are durable and will definitely hold up to lots of play!


Halle absolutely loves these shoes as well! She wore these all afternoon, inside and outside, and refused to take them off!! Usually with a new pair of shoes Halle ends up with blistered heals while she's breaking them in. No such thing here. She never once complained of her heels being the slightest bit uncomfortable! I'm sure that's due to the soft padded heel of these shoes. An added bonus to these shoes is that they are just so stylish and versatile. These are great with dresses and skirts as well as shorts and jeans. You just can't go wrong with these shoes!

Would you like to have a pair of Livie & Luca shoes for your little tot? Well, Livie & Luca has graciously offered up a pair to one of my readers! How cool is that?! All you have to do is visit Livie & Luca and then comment back on this post on your favorite pair! That's it!
