Cheap umi Infant/Toddler Puzzle Crib Shoe,Pink,17 EU (US Infant 2.5-3 M)

I really like this shoe. It's just wide enough and deep enough for my daughter's foot. They could be a little roomier, but we're pushing the size a bit, too. She doesn't have the chubbiest baby foot that I've seen so I might not chance it for a really chubby foot. The curved form of the shoe really makes walking in this shoe vs. a shoe with a flat sole much steadier. She nearly glides with these on and she can run without tripping and falling which doesn't happen in her other non-Umi shoes. The velcro has good integrity. The padded back is comfortable. Nothing pinches or pokes. The combination of rubber nubs and leather on the sole made me question buying these but it works out just fine. The leather has worn a little but not much in proportion to how much my daughter has worn these... plus the wear is on the bottom where it doesn't show and doesn't impact the shoe's performance or durability in any functional way. My only major wish is that they came in another size larger. I got the biggest size available and my daughter is pushing the size limit at 18 months old. I'll probably keep putting them on her until they seem uncomfortable but that'll be in the next few months I'm sure.

I'd like to have this curved sole type shoe until she's 2 at least. I have been wearing MBTs strictly since May of 09 and they have the same "rocker bottom" sole. I'm amazed at what wearing the MBTs has done for my posture and core strength and overall balance to say nothing of taking a lot of pressure off of my knees and hips. I'd like to find more kid's shoes that have this curved "rocker bottom" sole. It seems to make so much sense developmentally.

I highly recommend these.Get more detail about umi Infant/Toddler Puzzle Crib Shoe,Pink,17 EU (US Infant 2.5-3 M).
