Holiday Gift Guide: Umi Shoes Review and GIVEAWAY!

I will be the first to admit it, shoes and clothes for my boys are my weakness. I never buy things for myself, but I love to buy for the boys. And little tiny shoes are one my favorite things!

 And these, my friends are some cute shoes!

Umi makes some of the most adorable kid's shoes I have ever seen! They are a wonderful company, that is both baby-feet conscious, and Earth-conscious. They are very focused on making quality, comfortable shoes for babies and kids. All of the leather used to make their shoes is non toxic, and their shoes come in recycled packaging.

And, for y'all who want your babies feet to be hip and stylin', check this out:

Here's Tori and Dean, with little Stella and Liam, rockin' their Umi's! Tons of celebrity babies have been spotted wearin' Umi's, from Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's kids, to the babies of Kelly Ripa, David Letterman, Joely Fisher, Marcia Cross, and tons more!

And they are all so damn cute!

These are the shoes we received for Tater to review. He doesn't normally get excited about clothes/shoes, but when the Umi box showed up at the door, he was sooo happy! "Thanks for getting me awesome new shoes, Mommy!" (THAT makes me feel happy that I work so hard on this blog! At least Tater appreciates my review swag lol)

What Mama Thinks!

These shoes look a lot like his regular shoes that he had before, but I swear to you, he has not put his old ones back on one single time since getting his Umi's! He says they make his feet feel happy. (And, c'mon folks, that's what it's really all about right?! LOL) I love them! These really are probably the best quality shoes my kids have ever owned. They are soft, but very sturdy, and you can just tell they will last a long time. They are flexible and he is able to get good traction in them too. I was a little worried about ordering shoes online, since we don't usually do that, but it worked out great! They fit perfect! Umi's shoes are handcrafted for a generous fit, and room to grow, and there is a size conversion chart right on the page, so they were super easy to order.  I am so impressed with Umi, I can't say enough good things about the company or the shoe! I really have become an Umi convert! I can't wait til Bean is ready for "real" shoes! Here is what I am thinking for him:

Look How TINY! I freakin love these people and their adorable shoes!
