Our Top Picks for the Tootsies



Make sure your children start off the school year in the right pair of shoes! All of us Mommies are proud to recommend our favorites. Our top picks for this school season are Umi, Eleven Shoes, and Robeez. All of these companies offer a wide range of sizes and style choices perfect for your child's school days!

IthicaIt might be shocking to learn that the best shoe is no shoe at all, but it's the truth — barefoot is best. However, Umi knows that kids need a shoe that offers comfort and durability.

Not only do the Mommies love the shoes that Umi has to offer, but our kiddos love them, too!

Eleven based in Portland, Oregon, offers an innovative brand of children's shoes that deliver intelligent, timeless, and quality footwear for little travelers who make each step an adventure. Eleven is a sister company with See Kai Run, a children's shoe company based in Seattle, Washington.

Christine's two-year-old won't take his Josef Eleven shoes off... he would wear them to bed if Mommy let him!

Robeez Tredz Graffiti Black Boy bootsWe can't forget the little guys when talking about shoes! Robeez is known for "caring about the first steps" and has some of the cutest styles for the little tykes. Check out their new arrivals!

We'd love to have a pair from either company...It's soon time to put away the flip-flops and sandals and put on "real" shoes. I didn't think that your shoe giveaway would evoke such feelings of nostalgia for days that aren't fully gone just yet!
