Umi Shoes Review

At Umi, we build real children’s shoes. Not floppy leather slipper socks. And not miniature grown-up shoes. We know a lot about growing feet. Front to back. Side to side. Top to bottom. Umi shoes are designed with children’s feet in mind.

Around here we have some pretty high standards. We craft our shoes from the highest quality nappa and nubuck leather, with carefully constructed lasts. Our manufacturing process includes more than twenty quality control checks to ensure that every pair of shoes meets our standards. The result: Umi shoes are flexible, supportive, built to fit, and go the distance.
 I received the most adorable shoes from Umi for my daughter. Just like the ones pictured above but in Cream/Tan. OMGoodness they are amazing. The quality of these shoes is just super. I am very excited about that because I can actually pass these down to my youngest daughter next year. Most shoes you buy you just wear the one season. Not with Umi shoes! You can keep these for years. The designs that Umi Shoes offer are great too. There are shoes for every season for babies, girls and boys. And the colors, oh the colors. They are vibrant and beautiful. Just look at all the happy photos over at Umi Facebook photos. Those are some happy TOES! We are in love with our Umi shoes. You will love these Babies and Children’s shoes too!


Some of my favorites….
Babies…. For the very young, we have added a new range of styles and colors in our beloved line of UmiPrams. This spring we have a host of new styles for our new UmiPrimero a shoe designed especially for baby’s first steps. Primeros are made for walking (and cruising and reaching and tumbling). Take a look-you won’t be able to resist the adorable styles and quality craftsmanship of our new collection!
Girls…. Our Girls collection for spring and Summer includes some tried-and-true classics, along with lots of fresh new designs. You will find fabulous details and saturated colors in sandals, ballet flats and mary janes. We blend style with comfort in every pair, to keep little feet happy from poolside to parties and playgrounds. Check out our selections below and find a pair (or two or three) that you can’t live without.

Boys…. Introducing UmiRana: shoes to go wherever summer leads. Summertime knows no boundaries from ponds to pavement, beaches to backyards boys are always on the go. So Umi designed a shoe to keep up. UmiRana sandals are supportive and breathabile. They dry quickly and provide a snug underwater fit. The rest of our boys collection is just as fine-with a wide range of styles and colors. As always our shoes crafted from premium materials using our exclusive designs to provide maximum comfort for guys on the go. Take a peek below and find the pair that’s right for you!
