UMI Children’s Shoes

This item is a pair of Giselle sandals up to little girl’s size 12. These are handcrafted shoes with ample room to breathe. Since these Giselle peppy espadrille sandals come in two color combos that are eye-catching, my daughter and her BFF have got matching pairs! A flower that is floppy is at the ankle and Swiss dot pattern that is chic is along the straps making this Giselle one of the snappy shoes for children to wear this summer.

These shoes are a classic and my daughter gets a pair every summer. They are made with hook and loop straps that are double adjustable with canvas lining uppers.

Umi shoes are all handcrafted and have ample foot size, so they have room to breathe and also to grow.

These sandals are just perfect for summer time – our daughter loved her sandals last year and I am certain she will love them this summer also. Since they got here, she has wanted to wear them to school but they are not allowed to wear open toes shoes at school.

These are very well made sandals that manage to make it through the summer at the beach – at least the ones last year did and I am certain this year’s sandal will also. There is so much extra room for growth that they still fit well by the end of the year. What is even more important is that she really loves them – and will probably wear them every day. So often, we buy shoes and get them home and she won’t have anything to do with them.

She also has another pair of Umi that are not sandals but cover up the entire foot for going to the farmer’s market or somewhere at night where she easily might stump her toe. These are really great shoes for summer also. Umi protect her feet all summer long and we get our money’s worth out of them. It seems that since two years ago, she started a fashion trends as last summer everyone around use were wearing Umi.

Pros:
Handcrafted so very sturdy, snappy colors this year, she loves them so they get plenty of wear, ample room for growth and for feet to breathe, perfect for the beach.

Morie F (ii):

My little girl was having a birthday party and I wanted to surprise her with a new pair of shoes that she would really love, and when she saw the Morie F (ii) shoes I got for het from the Umi website, she loved it! Now, I cannot get her to stop wearing these shoes!

Yes, I am indeed pleased with this purchase, because there is nothing like the feeling you get when your child appreciates the gift that you get for them for their birthdays, holidays and any special occasions – especially of you have a child like mine who get especially hard to shop for.

I knew my daughter was going to love the Morie F (ii) because for one, she just loves the color PINK! Her room is pink, her favorite dolls all wear bright pink dresses and her favorite ice cream comes in pink color! So, when she opened her present and saw the pink moccasins, she immediately slipped on the shoes and went to change into another dress in order to complement her new shoes.

I loved the fact these shoes are particularly comfortable – my daughter never complains about how bad her feet hurts each time she takes them off. I saw love the bright pink color – this color is so cheerful, it makes me smile each time I see them on my daughter’s feet.

The Morie F (ii) has a little quality to it – I really cannot explain just how awesome these shoes are! The shoes are spunky, but really comfortable. I also love the fact the Morie F (ii) also comes in other cute and fun styles and colors such as metallic, croc, suede, leopard print and so on – this has given me an idea! Since My daughter loves these shoes, I was thinking of getting her another pair, this time in metallic in order to match her ice princess costume, which I am already making for her to celebrate this Halloween.

There is no doubt that these pair of moccasins sure make a fashion statement that cannot be questioned! The shoes’ pebbled runner outside and its top quality built-in arch support will give your girl the very best wear possible.

My package arrived on time, and I am also happy that this item is affordable – for a top quality handcrafted product, I must say it’s a steal!

Pros: The Morie F (ii) is a top quality pair of shoes. It is built to last and with a lot of wear. It comes in a beautiful and attractive color and made of top quality materials. This awesome pair of moccasins is also reasonably priced, and made by a brand that has been in the shoe making business for a really long time.

Cons: I do not have anything negative to say about the Morie F (ii that I bought from the Umi website. These shoes do not only look great, they feel great to touch and are awfully comfortable on my daughter’s feet. I am happy with my purchase!

Review Title: Tough as Nails

Title: Zander

Review Body: If you happen to be the parent of just one perfect little boy like I am, you’ll know that each and every day is the most incredible learning experience and a surprise is never far away. What’s more, you’ll also know that many of these surprises aren’t what you’d call much fun to find out and more often than not leave you out of pocket. My most recent lesson learned was one about shoes, having found that more often than not the latest pair I’d bought him lasted about as long as a pea-sized lump of cheddar on a cheese grater. Thank all that’s holy I was pointed in the direction of Umi’s Zander by a friend from work.

It was beginning to become a case of accepting that we needed to buy him a new pair of shoes about once a month, unless we were willing to have him going about his business with a pair that was falling to bits and had various bits hanging off them. Of course we weren’t, so it ended up costing us a fortune. Even if he wasn’t up to much, the shoes just couldn’t keep up with him.

Well, I’m still not sure what the secret is or how they pulled it off, but the Umi’s Zander shoe we bought him on the advice of our friend really opened my eyes in a big way. It wasn’t that we’d been duped before, but rather than we really had no idea what quality in a child’s shoe meant prior to taking these home.

I won’t be bothering to list all of the technical details as it really isn’t necessary. As a parent, the only thing you’re bothered about is a safe and comfy pair of shoes that lasts a little longer than the average month. From the first time you pick up the Umi’s Zander you know that’s exactly what you’ve got, as they’re rugged and heavy enough to let you know that they’re going nowhere anytime soon. They’re so well-designed that they look quite striking from every angle while at the same time giving the impression that they’ve been put together with incredible care – not just thrown together by the cheapest bidder, as usual.

The thing is, all of the above what I’d have expected is to hand over at least three-figures for a pair of shoes, but I really didn’t expect it for something closer to the $50 mark. We’ve spent way more than this on shoes for him before and they’ve looked pretty much dead and buried after no more than about three weeks.

I don’t really know what else to say about the shoes as the thing I like about them most is that they are no nonsense, as simple as it gets and just perform with the best of them. I won’t be looking anywhere else at least until he grows out of the range, so for now at least I am well and truly sold on the Umi’s Zander.

Pros: Face it – what you are looking for in a child’s shoe is one that’s comfy for them to wear, practical for their movements, looks good with anything they wear and doesn’t fall to pieces in the space of a week or two. It seems that this overall list of demands is far too much for most brands to live up to, which makes Umi’s Zander a standout example. If you’re on the market for something that delivers by all accounts, than I simply cannot possibly speak high enough about them.

Cons: None to speak of so far and I can’t see any complaints arising in the near future. He has already put them through hell a few times on his daily rounds and I have each and every time managed to have them looking like new again with no fuss at all. They’re pretty impressive to say the least.

Website Experience: I love the website as it doesn’t rely too much on outlandish promises, bizarre technical talk and all manner of show-off things to make you want to buy stuff. It’s the kind of place you can find what you’re looking for in an instant along with tons of special offers and other services.

Review Title: Elain by Umi Shoes

Title: Elain

Review Body: The item is the Elain shoes that I bought for my young girl from the Umi Shoes website a couple of weeks back. My daughter had started taking little steps and was learning how to walk and I wanted to buy her a set of shoes that could encase her soft little feet during her walking adventures. I had visited many baby shops to find a good quality shoe for my daughter, but had not been able to find one until I reached the Umi Shoes website.

Here I saw the Elain shoes and for the first time in my search, I was interested in buying something. The shoes had a great design and were made from good quality leather. In addition to this, these shoes had a safety mechanism installed in them in the shape of a hook and loop closure system which made sure that the child’s feet would never get out of the shoe. All of the features of this shoe convinced me to buy this product for my kid.

Once I had made up my mind about buying this product, I had to figure out how to place and order for the product and how to get it delivered to my home. This task was not so hard as I had shopped for other products online too and was familiar with the procedure. I added the item in my cart after selecting the most appropriate size for my child and then checked out by entering my credit card details. I was given delivery date which was not far away from the date I had made my purchase, so I started waiting eagerly for the order to arrive.

My order got delivered on the due date and I did not have to wait long for the product. I was delighted to see that the shoe was even more beautiful to look at than it had appeared in the photos on the website. Moreover, the material of the shoe also impressed me as it was made from man-made leather and was perfect for the soft and tiny little feet of my young girl.

When I put the shoes on my daughter they fit her perfectly. She enjoyed wearing the shoes and instantly tried to start walking in them. She was able to stand with ease wearing these shoes and soon started taking tentative steps in them too. The shoes helped her in keeping her posture and stopped her from falling. This feature of these shoes really impressed me the most.

I am very happy to have bought these shoes for my kid. If you too want shoes for your toddler who is learning to walk then these Elain shoes are best for you.

Pros: The Elain shoes are made from supple leather that mold to the tiny feet of the toddlers and help them in taking their first steps. The shoes have an adjustable loop and hook closure mechanism that makes them both safe for the child to wear and keeps the feet locked in the shoes as well. The beautiful flower pattern pinned on the outer half of the shoes make them visually appealing to the children and they love to wear them.

Cons: There are no apparent downsides of buying this product. It is not very costly and is extremely comfortable for the toddlers to wear and walk in. I had no concerns about buying this product what so ever.

Website Experience: The Umi Shoes website from where I bought this amazing shoe for my young girl is an excellent website. It has been designed in such a way that navigation is not a problem at all. Each page of the website in interlinked, so that you are able to move back forth on the website with ease. Moreover, the search option and the perfectly placed menus of the website help you in finding what you are looking for on the website.

The online security features of the website are impressive too. They provide the people coming to the website assurances about the safety and confidentiality of their financial information that they give to make the purchase of the items they like on the website.

Amount Paid: $ 50.00
