Bugaloo Kids: The Cutest Baby Shoes (And You Could Win Some!)

by Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home on June 29, 09

Welcome back! Have you visited our new site, Saving Naturally, where we help you live healthy and spend less?

Gosh, these are such adorable designs! The leather baby shoes at Bugaloo Kids are definitely not your typical, cutesy baby designs, but more fresh and modern. I had such a hard time choosing a pair because I really liked them all!

They are the same style as the ever popular Robeez, but much more affordable. They go for a mere $15 a pair, which is very, very reasonable for this style and quality of shoe. Not to mention, if you purchase 3 pairs, then your shipping is free (they'd make a great and affordable baby shower gift, although you could just get 3 pairs for your own kids! :)

They are definitely higher quality than so many of the other little leather shoes that are out there. I was really impressed by these. I personally like this style of shoes for babies because I find that they will fit a bit longer than your typical Size 2 or 4 (or whatever) style shoe, just because they are soft and flexible and they don't need to be such an exact fit.

They're great for babies toddling around the house (and outside as well), and are so much easier for little ones to learn to walk in than shoes with stiff or thick soles. My understanding is that it's actually much better for their feet and for their walking development to use soft sole shoes like this, and I can understand why! Unless you're buying very expensive children's shoes, they often don't fit well and just aren't conducive to ease of movement, especially for little ones who are still tripping and wobbling and tottering around.

My son Caden adores them. He has the green pair pictured on the right, and I just love their simple and stylish design. When they arrived he kept exclaiming over his "Noes!" The fit is generous, and even though he's just turned 2, he's still able to wear the 18-24 month size with some room to grow.

I was blessed to see that 5% of the profits are donated to International Justice Mission, which works to fight again slavery and human trafficking. I think it's wonderful to see businesses that are using their profits to give generously to others. These are the kind of businesses that my husband and I love to support!

They are all so adorable! I'm really torn between the Mary J. or the Charlotte as being my favorite shoe. Choices, choices!
Even better that some of the proceeds go to such a wonderful organization!

21 Julie B. June 30, 09 at 12:24 pm: Hi:
I like the Robyn design best!
Was it you, a while back, interested in cross-cultural titles of children's picture books/early readers? Four of our 14 children were adopted from West Africa, and we have run across some great titles...
Blessings,
Julie B.

Thanks
30 suzie July 1, 09 at 3:38 pm: love the green ones, kyle. and the
bluebird one
31 Hannah @ OneBigAdventure July 1, 09 at 4:49 pm: It *is* hard to pick a favorite one. I agree with Lindsey in AL, I like baby clothes (or shoes for that matter)that work for either gender. One can use them more times that way:*)... My favorite ones are Quackers and Bluebirds. Seeing these brings back a lot of memories of a pair of little mice leather shoes my younger sister and brother wore as babies.

I tweeted the contest. http://twitter.com/OneBigAdventure

Thanks for the giveaway! Our family is enjoying your site.
32 suzannah July 1, 09 at 4:51 pm: love the robyn--so much cuteness!
33 Tanya July 2, 09 at 4:29 am: My little one really hates wearing shoes, but I've never tried something soft like this. Maybe they will do the trick! I usually just let her go barefoot, but when the weather cools off, it would be nice to have something soft to put on her little feet. My favorite is the Charlotte. I think. I like them all!
34 Jennifer July 2, 09 at 8:07 am: I really love the bluebird because it would be great for a boy or girl.
35 Amy W. July 2, 09 at 11:44 am: These shoes are too cute! I have an 8 month old son (so this type of shoe will be perfect for him when he starts cruising and walking), so I looked through the boy shoes. I loved the dash the dog and leo the lion shoes- although my husband doesn't particulary like the ones with animals on them, so if I win I would probably have to choose something different :(

I would love to win a pair of these- thanks for a great giveaway!
36 Jodi July 2, 09 at 12:47 pm: Whew! I'm glad to be back online I almost missed the giveaway entirely !! :) I love the little girl Mary J.'s too cute !!!
37 jennifer foringer July 2, 09 at 5:36 pm: Hello,
I like the green Freddie the frog ones for my little guy that is almost 1. I also subscribed to your blog that I was already enjoying. So, does that give me 2 last minute entries?
Thanks,
Jenny at http://www.xanga.com/foringerfamily
38 Farmer Gal July 2, 09 at 8:06 pm: First off, thank you for showing these to your readers. They are great!

Second, they are ALL cute! I couldn't pick... I loved them all so much. I did finally narrow it down to two favorites: Charlotte and Bluebirds.

I'm crossing my fingers that I win a pair!
39 rose July 3, 09 at 12:45 pm: Thanks for the offer. My favorite is the "clive" pair. They'd go with almost any outfit and the curvy lines would be very entertaining for my son to play with. He's just under 10 months and as curious as ever.
