Sweetly Chic Toddler Shoes: See Kai Run (Review and Contest)

Posted by Mamanista on Jan 14, 2008 | 289 Comments

Your toddler may still trip over her own feet occasionally, but that’s no reason she can’t look hip. Bold designs add a youthful whimsy to the sweetly chic toddler shoes from See Kai Run.

Newborns have no need for shoes and even beginning walkers can remain unshod, but once your all-terrain babe ventures outdoors, he needs a little more support and protection.

Based on recommendations from pediatricians, See Kai Run has created an ultra-soft sole from TPR (thermoplastic rubber), which is more flexible and more durable than traditional rubber. The result is a thicker, but still very bendable shoe that is friendly to growing feet.

You can feel confident trusting See Kai Run with your baby’s feet, and you can also feel good supporting a company that donates thousands of pairs of shoes to Soles4Souls, an international charity that provides shoes to disadvantaged people all over the world.

My baby always receives compliments on her Emilie shoes from See Kai Run and I wish they made a pair in my size. The scalloped white seams and black and white flower add a little funky whimsy to the traditional Mary Jane style. These sort of surprise touches make these quality shoes stand out.

Not only are they hip enough for the trendiest tot, these shoes are comfortable enough for the pickiest half-pint. The hand-applied leather is as soft as, well, a baby’s bottom. The padded collars and soft pigskin leather lining cushion those adorable piggies and allow for breathability.

And because the company is based in Seattle, they made sure your kiddo can splash through a few puddles along the way.

See Kai Run shoes are sophisticated enough for cosmopolitan moms, comfortable enough for the littlest feet, and fun enough for your toddler.
