Nowali provides the most unique moccasins for children that are both socks and shoes together. I received a pair for my 14mo boy (size 12mo) in the cars design. They were very easy to put on and they actually stayed on. My little guy is the type to put off anything on his feet that doesn’t fit well. The moccasins were never pulled off. They were very soft and appeared to be comfortable. I wish I had a pair for myself. They come in some great designs to fit the likes of both boys and girls.

These Swedish moccasins are meant for indoor wear but I often put them on my little guy when going out on dry days. The seem to be lasting very well and also clean up very well. Nowali moccasins make a great alternative for those little ones who hate shoes but need to wear something. Think baby shower gifts! They are also priced very well.

About Nowali: Nowa Li began producing traditional moccasins in Sweden over 50 years ago. The company is proud of its heritage and continues to produce these high quality moccasins in much the same way today (the stitching is still sewn by hand).

A comment we frequently hear is “I remember those from when I was a kid !”

Today Nowa Li brand moccasins, socks and tights are worn by kids around the world. We look forward to introducing bright new colors and fun new patterns each season.

Buy It: You can purchase a pair for your child directly for Nowali’s website. They are $24.95 a pair.

Winner of the See Kai Run

Cat @ 3 Kids and Us – comment #5

CONGRATS!

See Kai Run’s new Spring line is now available. So many cutes shoes to choose from. To say I love their shoes would be an understatement.

About See Kai Run: In 2002 I gave birth to a little boy named Kai. Two years later, I gave birth to a company called See Kai Run. See Kai Run was inspired by the need for comfortable shoes with flexible soles for my little Kai to wear outdoors. I wanted to create a line of shoes that was as happening as Kai – bold, hip, fun, with an urban sensibility. Something entirely different than what was offered.

Coming Soon!

Innovative new designs for boys, girls and babies – plus the return of four old favorites

 

Seattle, WA, January 2009 – Jump for joy! It’s time to think spring. See Kai Run, popular manufacturer of the perfect first shoe for new walkers, is focusing on fresh silhouettes and colorways for the upcoming spring/summer 2009 collection.

“Parents want to be excited about what they see on the shelves, which means we have to take some risks in offering fresh styles,” says founder Cause Haun. “We’re adding some metallics for boys this season with a gold, khaki, cream, and black trainer.”

More highlights include a sophisticated black sandal with a row of white polka dots that can be dressed up or paired with jeans, as well as a bottle green sandal for girls with yellow and leaf green accents. In all, See Kai Run will introduce 14 new styles in its first walker line, sized three through nine. And by popular demand, it will also bring back four styles from previous collections in a new line known as See Kai (re)Runs. The Smaller^® soft-soled baby bootie line sized from zero – 18 months will feature 17 new styles.

The new spring collection will be available for purchase at retailers, as well as online at www.seekairun.com beginning February 2009. Retail prices starts at $32. To view a sneak peek of the new line now, please see our Web site at http://www.seekairun.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?display=action&emptyoverride=yes&template=SKRTemplates/SKR/spring_09_collection_peek.html.

About See Kai Run

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. Our 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.

See Kai Run is a family-owned and operated business located outside of Seattle, Washington. The idea was born when owner Cause Haun was on a quest for the perfect first pair of shoes for her son, Kai. Unable to find shoes in fun styles that still promoted the healthy development of little feet, Cause and her husband created their own line of shoes that satisfied all of these needs. In just four years, See Kai Run has seen sales expand from a few boutiques, mostly in the Seattle area, to stores all around the country and worldwide. Please visit www.seekairun.com for additional information.

My 5yo daughter loves shoes! So when the opportunity, thanks to Family Review Network, came up to review Polliwalks I jumped at it on her behalf. We received a pair of their Pink Kitty Furry Clogs and their Firefly clogs.

About Polliwalks (from the website):
Polliwalks™ was born from the imagination of long time footwear designer and former toy designer, Joel Rusnak. He had the idea that children’s shoes should be fun and offer toy like features that will make wearing shoes a playful experience, while offering support, stability and comfort for little feet. Joel teamed up with his wife, and three of his long time industry colleagues, and together, they created Polliwalks™.

The Polliwalks™ team is dedicated to creating innovative shoes that appeal to the fun side of being a child. We back up our fresh approach to product with years and years of combined industry experience, making shoes that not only offer quality, comfort and function, but are born from a playful inspiration that offers unique styling and features that both kids and parents love.

We are proud of our unique brand and our products and are always looking forward expanding what we do with each season!
