MumsTheWurdUnique finds for hip parents and cool kids

U*neaks are such a cute idea for a kids shoe!  It brings me back to the early days of the 80s, when I wore my Roos, except these are actually cool.  U*Neaks are a simple sneaker, but then you add the darling, dual sided socks, and voila!  They turn into a different pair of shoes with every change of socks!  They are soooooo cute!  

Noel’s little Camel Revs are so adorable, with or without the super cute socks.  Roo’s got a pair too, but she refuses to wear the socks. However, these socks totally liven up the shoe-Change the Sock, Change the Shoe!  Fun, huh?  The socks aren’t dull either-find Skulls & Extreme Sportsfor boys, or Zebras & Leopards for girls.  There are many selections of shoes and socks for both boys and girls.  

Interested in livening up your child’s shoe & sock collection?

Win it!

Enter here and tell us how you enjoy getting exercise with your kids! Winner will be selected randomly, and contacted via email. Contest ends November 3rd at 10pm (CST).

Before Noel was in a size 10, he had his very first pair of “big boy” shoes. See Kai Run struck my eye with their bright colors and how good they are for growing feet. Unfortunately, Kai’s only go up to a size 9…Fortunately, there is an answer to that problem. It’s called Eleven.

Amy and I both love the Eleven Trainers that Noel & Hailey have. These shoes are perfect for the playground, a walk, or an evening downtown! Noel is constantly getting compliments on his trainers. They catch everybody’s eye!

The Eleven Collection is the more mature and sophisticated shoe for your walker. Eleven’s not only sport the similar vibrant colors and styles that you found with See Kai Run, but they are also constructed with the health of your child’s feet being their top priority:

Eleven’s shoes feature:

• All premium materials and construction
• Uppers and inside lining made with premium leather to provide comfort and breathability
• Durable and sturdy soles with superior traction
• Cushioned insole thoughtfully designed, making each step a comfortable one
• Easy on and off
• Sensational fit to ensure natural growth
• Sizes 9-1 for girls and boys
• Vibrant colors
• Intelligent, timeless, and quality footwear
• Classic casual, city-chic style

Pediatricians agree that going barefoot is best for baby’s growing feet but when those tiny, precious feet need coverage and protection, IsaBooties are a perfect option . No doubt that IsaBooties are stylish and comfy pre-walking shoes but they also rank pretty high up on the charts for gripping, no-slip, soft-soled shoes. They are also eco-friendly.

WIN IT!

We’re giving away TWO pairs of IsaBooties to TWO lucky readers (MSRP $29/pr). Check out the IsaBooties site for all of the funky, unique styles to choose from.

*PS: There is a big summer sale going on at IsaBooties right now - 50% off select shoes - check it out!

Our pals at Vincent want to let MTW readers be some of the first to know about their huge Summer sale that starts today and runs through July. Because Vincent is so awesome, shoes that are on sale go fast, so get over there and get your little pals and gals some of the coolest shoes around! Remember these? They’re 75% off!!!

We all know Robeez makes a great shoe for pre-walkers and walkers alike, and now they’ve ventured into new baby shoe territory with The Weekend Collection. I actually prefer these Robeez to the originals. I’ve got a chubby baby, and these don’t leave little red marks on his tree trunk-like ankles.

You are sure to find a pair of Robeez that will suit your style. They have designs to fit almost any personality! Check ‘em out and get your kids into some shoes that not only look great, but will make their feet happy.

Who says that boys shouldn’t have cute socks too? I’ve seen all of the great girl socks out there, including my faves, the Mary Janes (which now come in rain boots?!). Finally, someone has come up with socks for cool cats as well as cool kittens! JazzyToes has so many great choices for all genders. Like the seaside look? How about that 1920s gangster look?

JazzyToes make great gifts. Know anyone that’s going to be a dad soon? Maybe put a pair of these great socks in with his tie this year! I’m sure you’ll be going to a baby shower soon…If you’re like me, you know about 1,348 women who are pregnant right now. It’s the season for babies, and every baby deserves to have the coolest socks in town!

Given that it’s almost Summer, I might be a little behind on this, but it has been raining across the country…
If you’re going to go out in the rain, you don’t have to look sad and depressing in an old pair of black galoshes. Head over to Vincent to find the most fashionable kids rain boots around. These groovy boots are not only nice to look at, but they also have a safety reflector on the back. Safe & easy on the eye… Noel is pictured here in the GRAFFEs. I love the 60s style of these boots. If you like something a bit more traditional, take a look at the DJUNGELs or the FROGs. They’ve got lots of styles of boots that should tickle your fancy!

We’ve all heard about Robeez, right? The awesome, soft-soled shoes that are all the rage? They’re also featured to your left on the cute feet of Lennon in the striped pants. Those of you with new walkers have probably thought to yourselves, “I loved Robeez, but my kid has outgrown them now that he can walk!” Well, fear no more, friends! Robeez have moved beyond the house and out the door for young walkers…Robeez Tredz are the newest thing to hit the streets and everyone’s talking them up at a playground near you.

Personally, I love these shoes. Noel’s Evan’s, pictured on the legs with the “dog camo” (background), are so soft and look super comfortable. These aren’t shoes you have to “break in” or “get used to”. Noel loved them right away and was off and running in them from the first wear! They also seem to run big. He’s got a pretty big foot (8-9) and he’s still got a lot of room in these.

Don’t be sad that your baby has grown into a walker! Show him working those legs in a new pair of Robeez Tredz!

As you might already know, we love a cool little shoe company called See Kai Run. This happy store gives children the utmost comfort in footwear, while still providing some of the coolest styles on the market today. The creators of SKR understand our need for this, as they got the idea for See Kai Run from their son, Kai himself!

As you can see here, lots of attention has been given to this awesome store. You can purchase Kai’s for your own little ones by clicking here. They will also soon launch their own online boutique! However, we want to give you your chance to win these super shoes yourself!
