So my kids’ super excitement for spring has greatly exceeded my own. I can tell because their busting energy is prevailing over mine, and it’s really tough to keep up with them but I’m enjoying it. It must be the beautiful colors of the season that make them really ecstatic and supercharged. As for me, I get infected by their giddiness especially when I see them wearing fashionable outfits in happy kiddie colors. The shoes are important too, which should be durable enough to last the unstoppable activeness of little feet, and of course to complete the springy vibe. I’m really happy that my kids found their perfect Umi footwear for the season.
I got the navy Vance sandals for my 16-month old son, and a cherry-colored Moraine B II pair for my kindergarten girl. Both cute pairs have their ankles and heels appropriately padded and cushioned for comfort, and have non-skid soles for safety. Their toe boxes are also spacious enough for my kids to have free toe movements and more room to grow. Like all other Umi shoes, they are hand-made so it says a lot about quality and durability. I also like that they are completely earth-friendly, from non-toxic materials to 100% recyclable packaging. And they’re ultra light too.
The Vance sandals are under the UmiBaby line, and it’s good to know that all styles under this line are approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. It has an adjustable hook-and-hoop strap for easy wearing and removing, breathable openings around the sides of the feet, and a front bumper for protecting tiny delicate toes. It is water-friendly, and it has contoured outsoles for stability that make the shoes ready for adventure. But don’t let this rough-and-toughie look fool you, because its cushioned inner soles are really soft. I like that its navy color is outlined with yellow, giving it a balanced look of casual spring fun. I have no complaints when my toddler puts on these, as he appears to be cruising safely while very much enthusiastic and full of action.
I’m really excited about my daughter’s Moraine B II because of its shiny cherry color. It reminds me of Dorothy’s shoes from Wizard of Oz and Snow White’s red apple. It’s honestly a breath of fresh air for me because it’s glossy redness can be as lovable as all the usual pink shades that little girls always liked. And because it’s red, it adds a vibrant pop to plain and simple outfits. I love to experiment with it because many outfit colors can go well with it, except green for me.
If I could creatively describe this unique pair of single-strapped penny loafers, the Moraine model is sweet and edgy on the outside and super comfy on the inside. Its sweetness and edginess goes well for both dressy and casual occasions, and work great all day, for leisurely strolls and even for rough playground action. The shape and linings undeniably make it spacious for the toes, and the rubberized skid-resistant soles give a sporty hint. My big girl is really comfortable in it and feels pretty. I love that it has both girly and toughie features, making it a fresh alternative to mary janes.
Umi shoes are all about total comfort for kids, but at the same time their adorable styles are a visual delight for parents too. Umi has a wide shoe selection for babies, boys, and girls, which have available sizes for toddlers, little kids, and big kids. The price is not cheap, but its hand-made quality and earth-friendly material make a superior investment for safety and durability. They have a lot of styles that are suitable for both boys and girls too, so they’re great for long-term use of younger siblings regardless of gender.
