New Geox shoes!

2011-05-25T11:30:00.000-07:00

Check out our new arrivals of Geox kids shoes! We're bounding in new possibilities, with Geox tennies in pink, purple, blue, brown, white, superheros, hearts, light ups & sporty Mary Janes.

Geo who'er what'er?
So here's the scoop on Geox, we like to think of it as the double scoop kind. Geox kids shoes blend creative designs with thoughtful details for toddlers and children. From early walkers to first day of school shoes, Geox kids combine versatility, fun, and a fashionable point of view. Geox combines a revolutionary breathable and waterproof technology with Italian style, offering a unique collection of fashionable and functional footwear for children that breathe.

What makes Geox unique?
The advent of the rubber sole changed the lifestyle of millions of people. Footwear became more comfortable and waterproof. With one defect: rubber doesn't breathe and heat and moisture remain trapped in footwear, giving an uncomfortable feeling of humidity and causing bad odor (aka funk). In the mid 90's Geox solved this shortcoming with a revolutionary, internationally patented system: a micro porous membrane placed on top of a perforated rubber sole that lets heat and humidity escape the shoe but keeps water out. The result: feet are maintained at the right temperature in all seasons.

Why we love 'em:
OK, we've established their unique breathability, but what else makes Geox kids shoes great? Besides being completely fashion friendly (and yes that is important and no it won't diminish your parenting skills by admitting it), Geox kids shoes are super durable, all come with easy on/off Velcro closures and the insole is removable so you can actually check your kids foot for fit without just shoving it in there and praying. Oh, and our kids go nuts over the light up styles!

Its all in the fit:
Geox kids shoes come in Euro sizing not because its fashionable, but because they're from Italy. TinySoles carries a great selection of Geox kids shoes in Euro sizes 21-31 (US 5.5-13). We definitely recommend Geox kids shoes for active little feet that are up and running about. Geox kids shoes fit narrow to wide feet, and will run a half to whole size long on narrow to medium width feet. If your uncertain about the fit on you child, pull the insole out and have them step on it with all their weight. We recommend making sure their is 1/4" in front of the longest toe for room for growth. Remember, you're not in this alone. So if you're still needing more sizing help then call our shoe specialists at 800-338-4071!

And now for the fun part, click here to shop Geox kids shoes.

New Kanteens will brighten your kid's day + lunch!

2011-02-09T10:39:00.000-08:00

We just received a new shipment of our fave water bottles and accessories from Klean Kanteen. We've added 2 new bright colors to our sippy collection and now ALL of our Klean Kanteen Sippy's come with a dome lid to keep the sippy top clean in transport. We also picked up 5 bold colored 12oz classic Kanteens with sports tops for those who have outgrown sippy's & now carry the 12oz insulated Kanteen that is perfect for keeping a hot lunch.....well hot!

We've also stocked back up on Klean Kanteen accessories like the Sports Cap 2.0 that allows you to transform your Sippy into a fully fledged big Kids bottle, the Cafe cap that transforms your insulated Kanteen into an on-the-go (insert fave hot beverage here) mug and the Kanteen compatible Thirsty Tote by Built NY. Thirsty Totes keep your bottle insulated, help little fingers to grip the bottle better and add a little extra protection against drops. Snap the tote's grab loop over the top and you've got a comfy handle and the perfect way to hang your bottle from strollers, car seats, diaper bags, or whatever else is handy. Plus the Tote is not just limited to Klean Kanteen, it will fit all kinds of bottles and sippy's.

Why stainless steel? Besides being reusable, lightweight, and risk free, stainless steel is the material of choice in the brewing, food and wine making industries because it doesn't retain or impart flavors. BPA free Klean Kanteen bottles won’t leach chemicals, toxins, or funky flavors into your child’s water or juice. So apple juice tastes like apple juice, nothing more, nothing less. Because stainless steel itself is safe, they don't need to coat the inside of the bottle with a plastic or epoxy lining, like they do with aluminum bottles.

Not all stainless steel is created equal. Klean Kanteens are made from high quality 18/8, food grade stainless steel that's 100% recyclable, easy to clean, durable, inert, sanitary, toxin-free, and non-leaching. Plus the company chooses to make sustainability and social responsibility a big focus in their healthy business practices.

Klean Kanteens are the stainless steel alternative to plastic bottles. Plastics in landfills and oceans are one of the most alarming of today’s environmental stories. You may not have expected to find Klean Kanteen at TinySoles, but as parents it is one of our favorite products for our children. So we thought it was only natural that our customers would want them too.

Throw in one of our Itzy Ritzy Snack Happened snack bags and you have all the pieces for a zero waste lunch!

BabyLegs have endless uses and we recommend always having a pair in your diaper bag! Click here to shop BabyLegs now.

oooh! New pediped Originals are now in stock!

2011-01-22T14:54:00.000-08:00

New droolicious styles of pediped Originals have just arrived at TinySoles and more are on their way! Spring is about coming out of the dark and into the light, and the new-for-spring Originals collection definitely helps with bright, fun colors and airy designs. From sneakers to Mary Janes to Sandals, there's plenty of fashion friendly styles to oogle over and parents can actually feel good about putting them on their babies feet. We are big pediped Originals fans at TinySoles and highly recommend them for crawlers, first walkers and for as long as you can keep your toddlers in soft soles!

So if you're the kind of person who needs the 'meat and potatoes', then here's the scoop on pediped:

pediped are designed to protect your baby's feet from crawling, to those amazing first steps and beyond. Pediped Originals provide the benefit of a true soft sole, yet unlike other suede soled baby shoes can be worn both indoor and outdoor without fear of moisture. They allow baby feet to develop naturally and provide optimal support and protection during this critical developmental of tiny feet. pediped Originals feature cushioned leather soles with soft, flexible uppers and are hand sewn to allow for ample ventilation. Velcro closures make them a snap to put on and a roomy toe box allows for plenty of wiggle room for tiny toes. Officially recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association as contributing to better foot health, pediped footwear is a smart choice for parents concerned with the long term development of their children's feet.

Why are soft soles the best choice for baby shoes?

Critical foot development happens from infancy into the toddler years, so it's important to take care of little feet early. The bones in tiny feet are under constant development and can literally be molded by the shoes on their feet. That is why most pediatricians recommend that barefoot is best whenever practical. It's the same reason why these experts recommend soft, flexible soled shoes for infants and children. The best baby shoes mimic bare feet by supporting, not constricting growing feet. Soft soled shoes enable babies to sense the ground beneath their feet as they learn how to walk and develop foot strength as they grasp with little toes.

Tester #5

2009-10-27T13:37:00.001-07:00

Here is the product review from Tester #5 about her first impressions of the new-for-fall TinySoles gear that she received to test out (shown to the left).

Name: Erika

Children:
Savannah, age 2 and a bit, size 7
Wyatt, coming soon!

Products tested:
Hatley Farmer Jill Rain Boots size 6

Robeez Tredz Cupcake Party MJ Brown Patent size 7
Country Kids Whimsy Sock Lilac size 6-7

SmartWool Baby Bootie Batch Blue Mist Heather/Cobalt size 0-3 months

"I wanted to let you know we got the package Monday before last - thank you so so much! Savannah was THRILLED. She kept saying "let's open my present!" and the funniest thing was that she was most enamored with the infant smart wool socks you sent for Wyatt. She was bound and determined to try to get them on her big ole foot, thankfully she gave up and moved onto the shoes instead! My apologies for taking so long to write this - I had every intention of trying to get it out to you before we left on vacation last week but our life was suddenly filled with multiple events that seemed to consume us; the worst was finding out our beloved dog was full of cancer and we had to put her down 2 days before we left town. So anyway...here are my first impressions - sorry for the tardiness.

Hatley Farmer Jill Rain Boots: Savannah admittedly has a bit of a boot fetish so the Hatley boots are by far her favorite. As with all Hatley boots the quality is very good and I like that they are still flexible despite the thick rubber - flexibility is super important to me. The inside is lined in what feels like a knit fabric which I expect will keep Savannah's feet toasty on cold rainy days and well... also on hot sunny days when the child puts on nothing more then her boots and runs naked through the yard (I swear I do not encourage this!). I also like that the print we received (Hatley Farmer Jill) can be viewed asunisex (although Farmer Jack is very cute as well) so we'll get use out of these for both kids. Robeez Tredz Cupcake Party MJ Brown Patent: I am so thrilled that Robeez changed their sizing and that Savannah can wear Robeez again, even if this will be the last season for her as she is rapidly approaching a size 7. When I first looked at the shoe I actually doubted it would fit but upon putting her foot against the sole, it looks like it will but probably not for long. I think the sizing on these may run smaller (maybe by 1/2 size?) then the other brands thatwe usually purchase. The Mary Jane is super cute - these are a bit funky in that the colors all have an irridescent/metallic look to them but it's subtle enough that they can easily be used for dressing up or dressing down. I like that the back of the shoe (the part that surrounds the ankle) features a "gathered elastic" that keeps the shoe on the childs foot but will also "give" if needed and adds an element of protection around ankles to keep blisters/rubbing at bay. They'll also go with a lot of Savannah's outfits this fall - just waiting for the temp to drop to break out all the fall shoes!

Country Kids Socks: Considering that I admittedly go a bit overboard on clothing and shoes for Savannah, socks have not been something I've given much thought too - it's been more like "oh you don't have socks that fit...I'll just grab some from Target" but with the arrival of the country kids socks in our tester box, I've decided I've (or rather Savannah) has been missing out! These come is such great colors and prints. They're super soft and these will fit her for a good long while as I feel they run big. I love the pair we received - the plum/pink colors are going to be perfect for fall. My only wish is that they had "grippy's" on the bottom to keep lil ones from slipping.

SmartWool Baby Bootie Batch Blue Mist Heather/Cobalt: How did I not know about these before!? I've decided that these are the perfect babyshower/new baby gift! I can't wait for Wyatt to arrive so we can test these out but I just know they are going to be perfect. They are so so soft, warm & fuzzy...heck I wish they made them in adult sizes! Savannah was a spring baby so I hadn't given much thought to the fact that I needed to find something to keep my lil guy's feet toasty when he arrives in December - this is the perfect solution! I like that the top of the sock is a bit tighter - they look like they'll definitely stay on which is important and the colors and designs are just too cute. I'll definitely be picking up a few more of these in other colors. Thanks again for all the wonderful goodies - we look forward to reporting on our findings as we break everything in!"

Thank you Erika and Savannah, and we look forward to seeing pictures of Wyatt!

Tester #4

2009-09-20T09:07:00.000-07:00

Tester #4 recently sent us her first impressions of the new-for-fall TinySoles gear that she received to test out (shown to the left). Here is what she had to say:

Name: Nikki
Children:

Emmie, age 15 months, size 4/5

Addie, age 3, size 8/8.5
Products Tested:

Umi Praline Deep Red/Amber size EU25

Smaller by See Kai Run Olivia size 12-18 months

Country Kids Organic Infant Stripe Tights Pink/Stone size 12-24 months

pediped Emily Pink Pearl Hair Clip

"Hi, Tinysoles friends and fans! So sorry for the delay, but here are my first impressions of the FREE tester items I received last week.

First of all, a huge shout out to Tinysoles for once again amazing me with their customer service. I was almost embarrassed to email them and tell them that the shoes they sent (for FREE, I remind you) for my younger daughter were borderline too small. I’m sure they matched up to the measurements/sizes I originally sent, but the little bugger had a growth spurt in the past couple of months (her dr.’s appointment on September 3rd confirmed this), and her feet were no exception to the all-over growth. So they graciously sent me the next size up – thank you, Tinysoles. J
Smaller by SKR Olivia – These shoes are adorable. The size we’re going with is the 12-18 months, and she turned 15 months today (Sept. 3), so I would say that’s pretty accurate. As soon as I put them on her chubby little feet, she took right off in them. Love the leather circles sewn on the toes – hopefully those will stay securely in place as the shoes get worn this fall. I like how the sole comes up over the top of the toes – definitely makes sense for babies who are just starting to walk, as they often still spend a good chunk of time on all fours, and when they do walk, they frequently scuff their toes. On these particular shoes, the soles are nubuck (or maybe it’s suede?), so you can kind-of wipe the soles in one direction to remove the marks. I’ve heard that nubuck can also show dirt easily, especially in a light color like the pink, but we’ll see. The leather uppers are so soft and supple, and the nubuck sole is soft and firm at the same time. My first impression is that it’s going to be a great shoe.

Country Kids Organic Infant Stripe tights Pink/Stone - I have not had the fortitude to wrestle these on my 15-month-old yet, as our weather here in NC has still been in the 70’s & 80’s, but they feel VERY soft, and they will look adorable with the Olivia shoes. I’ve found Country Kids products to be really great, so my guess is that these will be no exception.

Pediped Emily Pink Pearl Hair Clip – If you’ve read any of my reviews, you know that I’m a huge pediped fan, so I was thrilled to be able to try one of their bows. Typical of No Slippy bows, this stays put like a champ – great for scooping my baby’s hair out of her eyes really quick, as getting a bow in place is often like trying to hit a moving target. Now that her hair is a little longer, I’ve actually been putting the top of it in a Pebbles-style ponytail with a small elastic hairband, and then clipping a bow at the base of the ponytail, under the hairband. (I do this while she’s distracted with eating, in case anyone was wondering. J) I wasn’t sure I’d be able to slide this bow in very easily because of the velvet, but it didn’t take much maneuvering to get it in. So if you like pediped and you like No Slippy Hair Clippy, these bows are winners.

Umi Praline Deep Red/Amber - This is our first pair of Umi shoes, and my first impression is that I LOVE them. If you look at this particular pair on the website, please know that it is MUCH cuter in person. A great, deep red color, coupled with the brown trim, and the sweet leather flower details – I think it will go with a lot of things this fall – jeans, skirts & tights, etc. Tinysoles had mentioned that the Umis might run a little long, and I would say that’s true. But they hug my 3-year-old’s foot very nicely, even though there’s plenty of room to grow. She walked around in them for a while, frequently looking down to admire her feet. I think the previous two reviewers mentioned an odor to the Umis – I guess there was an odor of new leather, but I didn’t find it overpowering. Then again, I kind-of like the new-shoe smell.

So, there you have it. I’ll send more info as time passes and shoes get worn. But again, thank you so much, Tinysoles. This is so fun!!
Nikki

P.S. Some photos attached. I’ll take more as the opportunities arise."

Thank you Nikki, Addie and Emmie for your review!

Tester Review #3

2009-09-09T14:37:00.000-07:00

Tester #3 recently sent us her first impressions of her TinySoles loot that she received to test out (shown to the left). Here is what she had to say:

Name: Sara

Child: Lilly, size 4/5

Products Tested:

S ee Kai Run Jennifer Lee size 5

Robeez Mini Shoez Moccassin Boot size 5

Country Kids Double Trouble Striped Tights Plum size 12-24 years (available at TinySoles very soon!)

"We got our package of shoes and tights today and had such a good time going through them. My daughter unpacked and packed the box for about an hour. She loves her new treasures, but I think her favorite part might have been the pink tissue paper!

See Kai Run Jennifer Lee: It was love at first sight with these two tone Mary Janes! The gold and bronze will be perfect with fall colors, and the faux fur is a fantastic detail. I can see how they will work as well with jeans on a trip to the pumpkin patch as they will with a party dress for Thanksgiving dinner. This versatility is one of the things I love about See Kai Run, and the Jennifer Lee could easily end up as our go-to shoe for fall.

Robeez Mini Shoez Moccasin Boot: These shoes are quite a bit larger (in the length and width) than other size fives we’ve tried, and my daughter can hardly walk in them. She has rather chubby feet and ankles, and these boots have more than enough room. I can’t get them secured tightly enough, so they’re probably just too big right now. At the rate her feet have been growing, they might be just right by the time it’s cool enough to wear boots. These Robeez have great styling, and my daughter seems to love them. They are also really, really easy to put on. Although the soles are a non-skid, waterproof material, there doesn’t seem to be much padding to protect her feet from rocks and sticks, so we’ll probably just wear them to play inside.

Country Kids Double Trouble Striped Tights in Plum: My daughter has never worn Country Kids tights before, but I can’t wait for the temperature to drop enough to try them on her. In multiple shades of pink and purple, these tights will pair perfectly with dark fall colors, and the varying width of the stripes is really fun. These tights are undeniably adorable, so I have really high hopes for them!

Thank you for such a wonderful selection of items. We’ll have a lot of fun trying them out!"
Sara

Thank you Sara and Lilly, we look forward to hearing more :)

Klean Kanteen

2009-09-06T08:12:00.000-07:00

We just received a NEW shipment of Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottles and with it came this bold new RED color! For those of you looking to grow your sippy bottles into a fully fledged big kid bottle, TinySoles now carries the Sports Cap 2.0. The sports cap is a high flow pop top that is compatible with all Klean Kanteen bottles. It features a quick attachment loop for connecting your Klean Kanteen to anything imaginable. We also picked up 3 NEW colored Thirsty Totes by Built NY. They keep your bottle insulated, help little fingers to grip the bottle better and add a little extra protection against drops. Snap the tote's grab loop over the top and you've got a comfy handle and the perfect way to hang your bottle from strollers, car seats, diaper bags, or whatever else is handy. Plus the Tote is not just limited to Klean Kanteen, it will fit all kinds of bottles and sippy's.

For those of you heading Back-to-School (or already have), the Klean Kanteen is a must have on your supplies list. You all know about the potential health concerns of BPA in plastics and there are not many schools that allow glass. Klean Kanteen bottles are made from 100% recyclable, high-quality, food-grade stainless steel so it doesn't need a special lining like some other metal bottles. It's completely BPA-free and won't leach chemicals, toxins, or funky flavors into your child's water or juice. The 12oz Klean Kanteen Sippy comes with a specially designed BPA free adaptor and 2 Avent sippy spouts made of pp#5 that are also non-leaching and toxin-free. It's designed for small hands, making it easy to hold. And the large-mouth makes it easy to clean too - just scrub it out with soap and water, or toss it in the dishwasher. Another bonus to the Avent top is that I have even swapped it out with an Avent bottle top (nipple) and it worked well!

Going stainless isn't just a health issue, its also a major environmentally friendly choice. Klean Kanteens are the stainless steel alternative to plastic bottles. Plastics in landfills and oceans are one of the most alarming of today's environmental stories. I recently read an article about a "plastic island" floating in the north Pacific Ocean (north of Hawaii) known as the Pacific Gyre that is estimated to be twice the size of Texas. The article mentioned one of the big contributor's to this plastic mess was plastic bottles. That was enough for me to get our whole family on Klean Kanteens and trying to make more "sustainable, less waste" choices.

But do they leak? We have kid tested a bazillion of the 12oz sippy's and we promise you that we have NEVER had one leak outside of bad installation (which is easily fixed!). 2 of our 3 known leakage cases were because they did not have the silicone gasket installed on the bottom of the Avent sippy top. Once they popped it on, their leakage issues were solved. With our 3rd case we had the defective bottle returned to us and we could not get it to leak no matter how hard we shook it (and believe me, we tried!)? The top is not hard to put together, but if you have any leakage issues from it try these steps. Make sure the silicone gasket is ON the Avent top. When installing the top make sure you push the green piece through the top ring so that it "pops" tightly into place. If this isn't pushed all the way in it can leak but it is usually of the slow dripping kind. Also check the adaptor top is aligned correctly when screwed together. If you aren't aware, we stand behind everything we sell 100%. So if you ever have an issue, please contact us right away and we will take care of you.

You may not have expected to find Klean Kanteen at TinySoles, but as parents it is one of our favorite products for our children. So we thought it was only natural that our customers would want them too. Check out all 6 fun colors!

Need a Backpack?

2009-08-26T15:20:00.000-07:00

Did you know TinySoles has backpacks? Yep, that's right we have some great little backpacks by Keen that are a part of their Mighty KEENdom collection. These pint sized packs are available in 3 colors (although I think we are almost out of the blue) and feature extra padding for comfort, an embroidered animal design for a dash of imagination and are practical enough for school yet fun enough for weekend adventures. They are the perfect size for preschool, kindergarten and early grade school. Complete with two compartments, an organization sleeve, water bottle pockets on each side, and a removable adjustable sternum strap; this pack will definitely make them stand out of the crowd. For extra wow, pair these backpacks with matching Keen Coronado shoes.

With my little guy starting preschool very soon (sniff, sniff, deep breath), I was in need of a backpack (it was even listed on the official supplies list!). We went with the Keen Mighty Keendom in Black Olive. I really love the colors and even the walrus has grown on me. My son loves putting it on and clipping the chest strap together! With his new Backpack, Klean Kanteen water bottle, shoes and socks, my son is actually excited about his first day at school so he can put his new stuff to work. Click here to shop bags.

2nd Tester Weighs In

2009-08-25T16:19:00.001-07:00

Another one of our 6 Parent Testers recently sent us her first impressions on the new-for-fall products she received to test out (shown to the left). Okay, so if your paying attention then you caught us out with BabyLegs, they might not be new for fall but they are a classic staple and matched the Umi Cuddles so well we couldn't resist. (BTW, our new fall BabyLeg styles, socks AND tights should be arriving very soon!)

Name: Caitlin

Children:
Boy, 4 years old, size 11
Boy, 2 1/2 years old, size 8
Girl, 7 months, size 6-9 months

Products Tested:
Keen Austin Shitake size 11
See Kai Run Carl size 8
Umi Cuddle Chocolate/Pink size 18
BabyLegs Pink/Heather/White

"Hello Tinysoles. Thank you for the wonderful new fall products; my boys were almost as excited as I was to see what you sent us! Here are my first impressions. I'll keep you updated about anything we discover as the shoes are broken in, and I'll try to get some pictures of them in action as well. Thanks again!"
Caitlin

Keen Austin -My boys both wore Keen sandals this summer, which I really liked despite their fairly stiff soles, but this is the first pair of regular shoes we've had from Keen. Right out of the box, the Austin is definitely not as flexible as my son's Eleven sneakers, but they seem like they're going to be very durable. My 4 year old son was able to put them on himself, which is always a big plus. After a couple of days of wear, I think the sole is actually becoming more flexible, which I also noticed with the boys' Keen sandals after a little while. It's tough to tell whether the fit is exactly right since it's hard to feel where his toe is underneath the rubberized toe cap, but they seem to be true to size compared with his Elevens, which run a little bit big. The padded collar is nice and soft, and the way the velcro strap closes back on itself makes for a good snug fit. I'm excited about the upcoming colder snowy weather since these seem like they're going to hold up really well. Style wise, they're not as flashy as the Eleven trainers, but my son really likes them; he says they're especially good for riding his bike.

See Kai Run Carl - I love the wingtip inspired design, the white stitching and the great fall colors of the Carl. It goes with just about anything, too! Since it's SKR, of course it's super flexible and the leather is supple with no need to break it in. My almost 3 year old son did a little dance when we put them on his feet. The collar on this shoe is more padded than any other SKR I've had, which is great for comfort. Unfortunately, my son can't get these on by himself. I'm not sure if it's that the collar is a little higher than a regular loafer or that the tongue doesn't open up very far, but he just can't get his narrow little foot all the way in without help. I'm hoping that as the leather stretches a little he'll be able to wriggle into it on his own. I'm also not yet sure how this color green will hold up to scuffing, but I'll let you know once it happens!

Umi Cuddle Chocolate Pink Pram -These little Umi's are just adorable; I love pink and brown together and the scalloped overlay is super cute. They did smell a bit funny coming out of the box, but after airing out for a day they've lost that really strong new shoe smell. My daughter, who is just about 8 months, isn't yet crawling, so it's hard to say whether the little rubber circles are going to help her grip, but she is fascinated with them! Just as with the Robeez that my sons wore, the elasticized part of the opening leaves marks on her little ankles, and her ankles are far from being chubby. I ended up switching to another brand of soft soled shoes for my boys because I didn't like how the Robeez elastic dug into them. We'll see what I decide once she's mobile, but I think I'm going to prefer the SKR Smaller brand for my daughter since they don't have elastic on the crease of the ankle. The Umi's also seem a bit stiffer than other soft soled shoes; I think the rubber actually lines most of the sole, rather than just being in the places where the circles are. I'm definitely going to keep these in the rotation as she starts to crawl and cruise, just to give them a fair shake and see if the soles soften up with use.

BabyLegs Pink/Heather/White - BabyLegs are so cute and practical, what's not to love? I did find a fun new use for BabyLegs recently. They make a great sock puppet to distract and entertain a crying baby on a long car trip (provided that you're not the driver, of course!)

Before we had a chance to post this, Caitlin sent us some more feed back on the Austin's:"Hi again. We recently visited my friend's horse farm in RI so I had a chance to put those Austins to the test. He rode, ran, jumped in dirt and wood shavings, and washed a horse in them. He never complained about his feet being too hot or uncomfortable, and his socks stayed dry and clean, even after standing in a puddle. I've attached a couple of photos of him riding with me and finishing up a horse's bath. Thanks again for the chance to test out something new!"

New Umi in stock

2009-08-10T14:21:00.001-07:00

Just a quick note to let you know that we just received our first shipment of NEW Fall styles from Umi! Lots of chocolates, pinks, raspberries, Olive and Navy that are perfect for Fall. New for this fall, is the Umi Primero collection (Lissy and Ollie shown above). Primero is a line of flexible rubber soled shoes designed for new walkers. They have a super flexible, lightweight rubber sole that wraps up slightly over the toe box to add a touch of non-bulky toe protection to help keep them scuff free. Lots of cute styles for little girls and boys that come in EU sizes 19-22 (US 4-6.5). The last picture shown above is of the Umi Pearl Chocolate from the Pram collection, a soft sole shoe available in EU 16-19 (US 1-4). Umi is one of our favorite brands for stylish, comfortable shoes and they bring a lot of variety to the table. Their shoes are definitely well made and we are impressed with the amount of detail on each one. We love Umi's use of printed leathers to add detail to different styles, whereas most other companies rely solely on embroidering, appliques and cut outs. This is just our first shipment of Umi, we have a ton of more styles and colors coming soon! Click here to shop New Arrivals.

First Tester Weighs In

2009-08-09T09:18:00.000-07:00

One of our 6 Parent Testers recently received the 3 new-for-fall products shown to the left. She sent us this to post as her first impression:

Name: Rasa
Child: Girl, 22 months, size 6
Products Tested:
-Umi Primero Lissy Chocolate Heart Print/Pink size 22
-See Kai Run Sadie size 6
-SmartWool Saturnsphere Deep Purple 2T-3T

I just wanted to let you know that we got the shoes and socks, thank you!!! Last winter my daughter had a pair of Umi boots that were the absolute best so I was super psyched to hear you were sending some her way! I also, am a huge fan of smartwool so that was a fantastic surprise too!Okay, so here are my initial impressions of the shoes and I'll write a more detailed review when she's had some more use with them.

Umi: When I took them out of the box I was a little hesitant about the pink hearts, but the style was really great. I love the Mary Jane look and the rubber soles on the front made perfect sense, my girl is always scuffing the tips of her shoes from running and these rubber fronts seem like such a good idea! She immediately wanted to try them on and check herself out in the mirror. They fit true to size, a 6.5, so she definitely has some growing room, but not so much that she is clumsy in them. I love the way the uppers really fit snug to her foot, other Mary Jane type styles bunch out on her sometimes. They seem to have a great grip and she said they were very comfortable. She wouldn't take them off for ages! And I when they are on, I even like the pink heart pattern, not too girly. So far, these are real winners!!! They also feel like really good quality (although they smelled a little funny coming out of the box, just an FYI)

See Kai Run: I love the red and had seen these on your website, so I was really psyched to get them! They actually fit like her size 6 See Kai Run sandals, not any bigger. So I wouldn't really say they are a 6.5-like size (although I personally think this brand tends to run a bit big anyway). I think she probably needs to get used to the stitched over lip because she is pretty clumsy in them. The poor thing keeps tripping and falling! I think her toe is catching the floor when she runs in them. They look GREAT, they fit really nicely, and we'll see if she gets used to the new style and stops tripping.

Thanks Rasa!

Staff Picks: I asked several of our shoe specialists to pick out their fave from the NEW Fall collection and hands down EVERYBODY picked the Hippie High Top (shown top left). For some it was nostalgic, others just thought it was too cute. Other adjectives used included fun, original, unique, colorful - you catch my drift. So after hearing the same response over and over and over, I made them choose their next fave!

Judy - Chickadee (soft sole)
"I love the colors and the picture theme covers all the things I love."

Jenny - Knighted Fox (soft sole)
"Hands down I was completely taken by the soft sole Knighted Fox in Brown. I know I am partial to boy's shoes having only a boy myself, but this is a really cool fresh take on a character style that Robeez has not done before. I think these would be especially cute on a new or adventurous walker. Watch out Dragons your little guy will save the day in these Knightly shoes."

Jackie - Urban High Top (Mini Shoez)
"I love the orange contrast to the brown shoe. Perfect for a future Larry Bird/Michael Jordan or even a future Sue Bird/Lauren Jackson (my husband is an Aussie). As a former tomboy I think this shoe would be cute as heck for either boy or girl."

Sammy - another vote for the Knighted Fox!

Sheri - Koala (soft sole)
Come on, do we really need to ask why? If you have ever talked to Sheri on the phone, then you get that this is an Aussie thing. BTW, she also likes the fluffy ears!

I agree with all of the above picks including the Hippie High Top! I also want to throw the Patchwork Heart soft sole moccasin style into the list. I think it would look too cute with a pair of jeans or tights and a skirt!

Giveaway Time: Here's your chance to score a FREE pair of Robeez soft sole or Mini Shoez of your choice. We will randomly select a winner from all the entries on July 24th, 2009. To enter, post a comment using one or more of the following methods and tell us what style Robeez you would like:

Testers Needed

2009-07-10T11:56:00.000-07:00

Do you blog, have kids that play hard or just like free stuff? Then we’re looking for you. Did we get your attention? As fans of TinySoles, you know that the backbone of what makes TinySoles the BEST place to buy kids shoes is that we know our stuff. That’s right, we hand pick everything we sell and we kid test it, parent approve it. No corporate buyers looking for the latest fashions here, just parents looking for the best products for their kids’ period. We were the FIRST shoe store to specialize in baby, toddler and kids shoes and we pride ourselves on our knowledge of little feet. Our specialty and hands on experience approach allows us to stand behind EVERYTHING we sell and offer you the BEST customer service possible.

Ahem, with that said, we have found ourselves in a pickle. We have hundreds of brand NEW fabulous products arriving at TinySoles over the next couple of months (this should be our best season yet!) and only SO many little feet to test them out. And believe me we try hard, our kids could rival Imelda any day! So we are looking for some little feet to help us out. What’s that mean for you? Some FREE brand new, hot sizzling fall product!!! And here’s how to get your hands on some:

All you have to do is go to tinysoles.com and leave a product review for any and all products you have ever personally used that are sold at TinySoles. It doesn’t even matter if you didn’t buy it from us! The more you review, the better your chance. We and all future shoppers are relying on your honest review of the product including but not limited to fit tips, quality, age/stage appropriateness, and uses that you may have never thought of if you hadn’t seen it! We encourage the good, bad and even the ugly, but PG rated of course. Then come back here and post a comment or email marketing@tinysoles.com letting us know your reviewer name, all the products you left a review for, your kid/s genders and shoe sizes. You can post all at once or as many times as you need to over the next 3 weeks. Caution – if you are logged into your TinySoles account while leaving a review it WILL publish your email with the review. You do not need to be logged into or have a TinySoles account to leave a review.

We will read all the reviews weekly and pick out our fave 2 every Friday for the next 3 weeks (7/17, 7/24, 7/31). We will then send those 6 lucky reviewers FREE brand spankin’ new Fall product to love and abuse. And you're gonna want in on this, coz there's some great stuff coming! If you’re selected as a reviewer, then we ask that once you’ve gotten a good feel for the product, you write a review for it that we can share on our BLOG with all our shoe lovin' fans. You get free product, we get real product knowledge. The circle is complete. Happy reviewing!

BabyLegs Cool + Giveaway

2009-07-03T07:37:00.000-07:00

Our limited edition BabyLeg Cool styles are getting low and some styles are completely gone! If your looking for a fun way to do instant sun protection, then look no further. BabyLegs Cool are made from a light weight, single ply breathable cotton mesh fabric with a UV protection coating making them the perfect sun protection layer for legs and arms. With a UPF rating of 50+, fun colors and summer themed prints, BabyLegs Cool are as fun as they are functional.

BabyLegs make the perfect layering accessory and we recommend always having a pair in your diaper bag! BabyLegs protect little knees from harsh surfaces, make diaper changes a breeze, potty training easier, are an instant fix for chills and are the perfect baby shower gift. And for those of you with boys, this is one accessory you can indulge in too!

All of us at TinySoles are huge fans of BabyLegs and have used them in all the ways listed above. I'm personally loving them for sun protection and potty training right now (going well btw :). But we thought we would share a few uncommon experiences that we have been glad we had BabyLegs handy for. One little 18 month old TinySoles Tester broke his arm between his wrist and elbow and ended up with a megalithic cast that did not allow for any piece of clothing to fit over it. It was early fall in Washington and while the cast kept his right arm warm, his left arm needed help. In came BabyLegs. For the 3 weeks of cast time, he had a fun pair of BabyLegs adorning his left arm day and night. His arm is all better now but he still loves wearing his 'Legs and his mom was incredibly grateful she didn't have to cut the right arm off of any of his shirts, sweaters and jammies!

Another Little Tester recently got bitten by a mosquito on their left arm and scratched at it enough that it turned into a very angry and swollen cellulitis infection. Their mommy tried to monitor the scratching and use Band Aids, long sleeves etc to cover it to no avail. BabyLegs to the rescue. They were the perfect cover and allowed for the infected area to breathe and remain dry but no nails could get near it. BabyLegs Cool came in handy for this one too as there were a couple of really hot days where the lighter material made it much easier for them to keep their arm covered!

We have also been told that BabyLegs made the perfect leg covering for a baby in the NICU because they didn't get in the way of all the tubes. For really tiny babies regular BabyLegs may be quite big, but we have discovered the Natural Organic Cotton E shrink really well (down to preemie/newborn size) if you put them in a warm/hot wash. And at only $8 each, they're a steal. Actually if anyone knows anyone in the NICU right now that wants a pair that is already shrunk, let us know - we have one pair we would love to donate to someone!

TinySoles carries a variety of BabyLegs to satisfy any BabyLegger, including Original styles, Organic cotton and wool, Supersoft and a little longer 39 cm lengths. With over 100 different styles in stock and ready to ship, TinySoles is the best place to shop for BabyLegs. We also have the hard to find Limited Edition Organic prints such as Dolcetto, Loire, Rioja, Pinot, Skeet, Fishin, and Scout - that aren't even available at BabyLegs! Plus with select styles on sale for up to 50% OFF, now's the time to catch a great deal on BabyLegs. Pssst - we just got a sneak peak at BabyLegs new fall collection and there are some great new designs coming soon!

Giveaway Time: If you made it this far, then you have arrived at the good stuff! Here's your chance to score a FREE pair of BabyLegs of your choice. We will randomly select 3 winners from all the entries on July 10th, 2009. To enter, post a comment using one or more of the following methods and tell us what style BabyLegs you would like:

Teva Westwater + Giveaway

2009-06-12T15:13:00.001-07:00

If your looking for a fun summer shoe for your little girl, then look no further - the Teva Westwater casually strolled into TinySoles today! The Westwater is a lightweight sandal shoe mix with Mary Jane style, a flexible sole and a comfy yoga mat inspired insole. It is available in 2 colors - Pesto and Plaza Taupe, and comes in US sizes 8-13.

Equally at home in wet or dry conditions, the Teva Kids Westwater is the perfect casual shoe for all warm weather fun. With the openess of a sandal yet the comfort of a shoe, the amphibious Westwater combines a quick drying upper with a cushy insole. The Mary Jane style gives this adventure shoe a girly twist and the velcro strap makes it easy to slip into summer fun. Teva added a rubberized toe cap for extra protection and durability, but did it in a minimalistic way to keep the shoe looking girly and streamlined (no bulky, yeti feet here). Don't underestimate its water capabilities, the Westwater's non-marking, rubber sole is patterned to channel water and the insole fights funk with an environmentally friendly zinc based anti-microbial that won't wash off or wear away.

We would love to give you some fitting tips for the Westwater, but only having arrived today we haven't had a chance to fit test them yet. The one thing we do know is that every single female employee at TinySoles wants a pair for themselves (which is rare - our tastes are all over the place!) and lucky for us, Teva makes them in adult sizes too! Click here to shop Teva.

On other Teva news, I recently got a chance to try the Teva Omnium on my newly turned 3 year old son. We went on a family trip to a water park and we were needing something that could go from day shoe to water shoe. He has a medium width foot, slender ankle, an uncanny ability to climb anything and is in a US 8/9 depending on brand. We chose the Omnium in Army in size 8 and found it to fit him on the big side with a little more toe room then needed, but we wanted it to last all summer :) (You know how that goes!) In size comparison, he has outgrown his See Kai Run's in size 8 and is currently wearing KEEN 8 and Umi 24. I held the Omnium up to other US size 8 shoes and noticed it ran longer in length, but I could see if you had a wide or thick foot that it would probably fit more true to size. He had no problems walking in the extra length and he loved the shoes so much he wore them all day in the water too. We love that they are lightweight, easy to get on and off, quick drying and super stylish! Some of the other water shoes we have tested have been too bulky or wide for his feet, but these are perfect!

Giveaway Time: This one is going to be a little different, so read carefully. Here's your chance to win a FREE pair of Teva shoes of your choice. We will randomly select a winner from all the entries on June 19th, 2009. Use one, two or all of the ways listed below to enter.

To enter to win, post a comment using one or more of the following methods and tell us what style and size Teva you would like (please give us at least 2 choices incase one is out of stock) :

Teva is here!

2009-05-12T18:50:00.000-07:00

You may have already noticed that the Spring collection from Teva casually strolled in to TinySoles over the past 2 months…but if you didn’t, then here is the official announcement. TinySoles is now stocked up with your favorite Teva sandals, shoes and flip flops and some great new styles too!

Teva offers a full line of high performance sport sandals, shoes and water shoes for infants, toddlers and children. Featuring the same comfort, fit, and durability as their famous adult counterparts, Teva kids are designed specifically to take little feet on big outdoor adventures. What makes Teva a great choice for summer? Besides fun designs, comfortable shoes and soles made to grip in wet environments, all Teva sandals and water shoes feature an inert and environmentally friendly zinc based anti microbial used to inhibit odor and bacteria. This means little feet can go in and out of water all day long without the funk (no not James Brown, we’re referring to the stinky kind).

You probably have a pair of Teva flip flops in your closet, so you already know how comfy they are. But like most of us, you’ve probably been pronouncing Teva incorrectly. It’s actually pronounced Tev ah, not Tee vah. The word Teva means "nature" and the hand logo is the Hopi symbol for "Friendship" and "Water" that Teva explains gives them their creed “Friendship with water”. As a business, Teva works hard to minimize their environmental impact and as a passion they partner with numerous organizations to help protect the earth's waterways. Teva incorporates environmentally friendly technology in their footwear and their shoeboxes are made from post-consumer recycled material that is printed with soy-based ink. Teva’s a great example of a “sole” company with a soul!

A big seller this spring is the newly introduced Teva Omnium. The Omnium is a sporty sandal that features a quick drying upper, toe protection and an easy on/off velcro strap making it versatile enough for all your little one’s adventures. It comes in US infants sizes 2/3 through kids size 13. Like the part sandal - part hiking shoe concept? Try the Teva Dozer. It’s the perfect blend of form and function, with a more rugged look and is available in US kids sizes 8-13. With added height and wider entry, it’s also a great choice for thick and/or wide feet if you’re having trouble getting little feet into other toe protection styles. One of our TinySoles testers tried the Dozer out last summer and loved them so much he added a pair of socks to the mix and wore them through fall. He even showed up to Christmas dinner in them – button up shirt, vest and all!

Are swim lessons part of your little ones summer plans? Then don’t forget about a pair of Teva flip flops! Throw a pair in their swim bag and make the journey from shower to pool and back without worrying about what else is hanging out on the floor. TinySoles carries an assortment of comfy Teva flip flops from US infant size 4 through kids size 13. The infant versions have a safety strap on the back to help them stay on. Teva flip flops run small, so try ordering up a size. Our pick for girls – the Teva Hula Girl. These adorably cute flip flops have sweet little hula skirts embroidered along the strap.

Our Teva stock has been flying out the door, so get in quick!

Giveaway Time: TinySoles is giving you 2 chances to score a FREE pair of Teva of your choice.

1. Be the first person to make a purchase of $35 or more at TinySoles and use the coupon code: TEVATIME at checkout. If you get an invalid code error, then somebody already beat you to it.

Umi has arrived!

2009-04-21T19:19:00.001-07:00

Umi children's shoes are NOW available at TinySoles! You requested Umi (pronounced oooh me), we listened and boy are we glad we did! Umi shoes are a line of quality constructed shoes full of color and detail, on top of just looking super cute. You can tell a lot of thought went into each shoe. TinySoles now has a great assortment of the soft soled pram collection as well as several toddler and children's shoe styles and a couple of sweet and sporty sandals (Umi Gecko shown in picture). Being our first shipment of Umi, it may seem a little small, but fear not as our Umi fall collection will be quite extensive. There are definitely a lot of cute and comfortable styles to come.

Who is Umi? Umi is a US company based in Wisconsin that started in 2004 out of the ashes of the well known European kids shoe company Elefanten. Umi took that concept of quality and style and started their own children's specific shoe line designed with children's feet in mind. They pride themselves on the fact that they build real children's shoes, not miniature grown-up shoes.

Umi footwear is full of personality and style and is designed with the perfect balance of comfort, fit and durability. Umi shoes are crafted from the highest quality drum-dyed leathers. Their manufacturing process includes more than 20 quality control checks to ensure that every pair of shoes meets their standards. The result: Umi shoes are flexible, supportive, built to fit, and go the distance.

Umi makes shoes that are healthy for kids and healthy for the planet. They're committed to quality and safety and only use non-toxic, environmentally friendly materials that are built to last. Every shoe is tested for safety and durability and follows strict European standards for child safe materials and components. What's more, Umi package their shoes in recycled materials and use environmentally sound practices to manage their waste.

Designed to fit children properly, Umi makes shoes for every stage of development. Their soft soled Pram collection features perfectly placed rubber pads for extra traction. Available in sizes EU 16-20 (US 1-5), UmiPram are designed to keep the littlest feet safe and snug. There are 2 styles of construction within the Pram collection. They both have the same sole, but one has adjustable velcro straps and a more shoe like appearance, and the other looks more like a soft soled bootie similar to Robeez. The bootie style has a very clever hidden velcro closure on each side of the top flap that allows it to open up very wide to get feet in. It has an elastic ankle band to ensure a great fit no matter the shape of foot but the band is only at the back of the ankle, so you don't have to worry about it being too tight around chubby ankles.

Designed specifically for toddler feet, the UmiTot collection is available in Girls EU 20-24 (US 5-8) and Boys EU 20-26 (US 5-9). With a little more support and sophistication, the UmiKid's collection comes in sizes EU 24-31 (US 8-13). Arriving this fall, the new Primero collection will offer a line of flexible rubber soled shoes designed for first walkers.

The BIG shoe hunt

2009-04-01T13:59:00.000-07:00

With egg hunts right around the corner, TinySoles has decided to help get you in the spirit by offering a FREE shoe hunt at TinySoles.com. That's right, we are hiding a pair of FREE shoes somewhere on our website and whoever finds them gets them! Every day from now until April 12th we will add a new pair of FREE shoes to the hunt. We will try to offer something in sizes for everyone over the course of the hunt and we will provide you with subtle hints to help you out.

How will you know you've found them? There will only be one FREE pair in a particular size, so you will have to hunt through the size options to find it. You will know you've found it when you select the correct size option and the price changes to "$0.00". Also a yellow/orange blob (real technical, I know) will show on the top right side of the product page that says "Save 100%". Once you find the FREE pair put them in your shopping cart and race to the checkout. If you have over $20 in your cart you will get them with free shipping, otherwise you get a FREE pair of shoes for the price of shipping. Winners will be announced as they occur.

Even if you don't celebrate Easter, FREE shoes are FREE shoes. Happy Hunting!

Hunt List & Hints:

April 1st - Think spring for baby girls (0-12 months). Click here to head in the right direction. Congrats to Jessica from WI. Her speedy hunting skills scored her a free pair of Robeez Circles Pastel Green - and we thought we were going to have to give out more hints :)
April 2nd - You guys did so good at the first one, we are going to give a little less of a hint. Here goes: A first walker that he can take outside. Kizzianne from NY took our hunt challenge and was the first to find the hidden free pair of pediped Kyle White Navy! Watch for tomorrow's clue.
April 3rd - Both winners found their prize within the first hour of the hunt and to top it off we received numerous calls & emails from people who found it before we had a chance to post the winner. Needless to say we are seriously impressed with you all! So today is going to be a little different. We are going to start vague and every hour we will add another hint until it is found. Here goes: A girls shoe Congrats to Shawn from NM who found the pediped Flex Annie Potpourri within 17 minutes of the post! And she had several people right on her heels too - a quick shout out to Jennifer from Canada who missed it by seconds. We had written some cute hints for this shoe too, I guess we will have to use them tomorrow :)
April 4th -Today there are 2 free items. They are related so once you find one the other should be easy to find. It's up to you whether you want one or both. Same format as yesterday - we will add more clues the longer it takes. Although if you watched yesterday you know it didn't take long! :) Here goes: Both are for girls. Clue 2 (first time we've made it this far): Bob Dylan's son sings for this band. Congrats to Elizabeth from MN who hunted down the Wallflower socks by SmartWool. From the responses it looks like a lot of you figured this one out. It is a big prize weekend for Elizabeth as she was also the randomly picked winner of the KEEN sandals! Sorry for the delay in posting this, but we all had to take advantage of a sunny Saturday in WA -rain again tomorrow :(
April 5th - Today's item is ready to be found. We will add more clues the longer it takes. You requested some different hunting times, so watch out for an afternoon and evening hunt. Today's first clue: "Good grief" Congrats to Jennifer from NY who found the pediped Flex "Charlie" black. Kudos to everyone else who solved the hint and found the item right behind her. We were hoping to be able to post some more cute quotes from Charlie Brown!
April 6th - The hunt is on, same format as before. Hopefully this catches some of you during nap time! Here goes: Bring out her fun nature with this item. Almost made it to a second clue! Congrats to Megan from PA who found the Teva Dristi Dusty Rose. For those of you still wondering about the hint - the word Teva actually means "nature". Speaking of Teva we have a large shipment of new sandals and flip flops coming very soon.
April 7th - Get out your flashlight and join our evening hunt! We will add more clues as you need them. Here goes: A dolphin, shark and whale have this in common (besides other things!) Congrats to Alma from CA who found the Smaller by See Kai Run Finn. It looks like quite a few of you found it right after Alma - a quick shout out to Renee who missed it by seconds.
April 8th - Welcome back to the hunt! Today's clue: This item is a must for aventures. Congrats to Jessica from WI for finding the Klean Kanteen Sippy in stainless steel. Jessica is a 2 time hunt winner! And no aventures wasn't a mispell, it was a hint at "avent" which is the sippy top on the Klean Kanteen bottle.
April 9th - Its that time again! Todays first clue: Think ski resort. We made it to a clue 2: It actually shares its name with a ski resort in WY. It is the Keen Targhee and congrats to Elizabeth from NC who found it. Sorry to all of you who found the Targhee only to find no free pair. We were inundated with emails and calls from people who were sure it was the Targhee but couldn't find it, so we checked on the item and discovered we had a glitch in our system and the free pricing wasn't displaying correctly for everyone. And we thought we were just being tricky! We'll make sure we are glitch free tomorrow and thanks for the feedback :)
April 10th - Its an early bird hunt today! Clue 1: White stitching adds detail to this classic. Congrats to Shawn from NM who found the Eleven Alexi - a sweet red mary jane! Shawn is a 2 time hunt winner and found the Alexi in the fastest time yet. No luck yet, don't give up there's still 2 days left!
April 11th - Happy birthday to CanCan of mommostraveled, its been a big birthday week at TinySoles too! Todays clue: Save your pennies for this. Congrats to Susan from VA who found the Rileyroo Quinn Blossom penny loafers! Tomorrow is our last hunt.
April 12th -Happy Easter to everyone and hope you have fun with our final hunt! Today's clue: April fun. Congrats to Shawn from NM who found the Hatley Party Kittens raincoat. It is a super cute raincoat and since Shawn is a 3 time hunt winner, we expect some pictures of your girls in their new gear!!! We would love to see pictures from all our winners. Thank you so much to eveyone who joined the hunt and we had a blast picking the items and trying to trick you guys, although we never were able to! Thanks to everyone who provided feedback along the way and we truly think our FANS are the best! Happy Easter.

Sneak Peek - Umi

2009-03-31T08:46:00.000-07:00

You requested Umi and we listened! Umi shoes will be arriving very soon at TinySoles. Umi specialize in children's shoes and pride themselves on their understanding of little feet and their quality construction. TinySoles will be carrying an assortment of irresistibly cute Umi shoes in US infant size 1 through kids size 13. Stay tuned for the official arrival and more scoop on Umi.

Today is your LAST chance to vote for TinySoles in the Leading Mom's in Business Competition! Please take a second and cast that final vote and THANK you all so much for your support.

Keen Sandals are here!

2009-03-25T14:35:00.000-07:00

We just received a BIG shipment of KEEN sandals at TinySoles! The new Spring 09 collection from KEEN introduces the Raleigh and Venice H2 to their quick drying collection and adds some new fun colors to the popular Newport. We are also now stocked up on all of your favorite Newport and Venice colors too and now carry all KEEN Kids sandals in US sizes 4 through 13!

KEEN sandals are the most versatile sandal out there period. With KEEN's patented toe protection these sandals are really capable of taking your kids places where other sandals fear to tread. The Raleigh and H2 collections all feature quick drying nylon webbing making these sandals perfect for in and out (and in and out again and again...) of the water. They will withstand all the abuse your kids will put them through and you can rest at ease knowing their little feet are protected yet still open to the breeze. If they start to smell a little funky (most water shoes will after a lot of wet use), just toss them in the wash (cold water, gentle cycle and mild detergent) and let them dry in the sun and they should be back to their sweet smelling ways.

Bright, bold colors are the big deal this spring/summer and the Newport H2 now comes in 3 fun new colors - Caribbean Sea (shown above), Topaz and Opaline Green. With cute prints and less straps the Raleigh offers the versatility of the Newport with a girly flair. We only received the infant sizes of the Raleigh in this shipment, but the kid sizes will be arriving in the next week. The Venice has now joined the quick drying H2 collection in 2 shades - Moonlight Mauve and Midnight Navy. The Venice H2 has less straps than the Newport, making it easier to put on. Less straps also mean more adjustability around the opening making it a better choice for thicker feet too.

As you can tell we are big fans of KEEN at TinySoles and as soon as the sun starts to come out (and boy is that a great sight for us Washingtonians!) you will see all the little and big feet at TinySoles sporting their KEEN sandals.

Giveaway Time: TinySoles is giving you 2 chances to score a FREE pair of KEEN sandals of your choice.

New KEEN styles

2009-03-06T14:52:00.000-08:00

New Spring 09 Infant and Kids KEEN shoes are now in stock at TinySoles! Think fun and earth friendly with the new Coronado from KEEN. An all Vegan shoe that features an endangered animal friend! Or go sweet and sporty with the Calistoga Mary Jane. Whatever Spring means to your family, you will know that their little feet will definitely keep up in KEEN.

Inspired by freedom and designed to accompany kids on their adventures around the block or farther a-field, the KEEN Kids line offers high performance sandals and shoes for infants, toddlers and children. Chances are you probably have a pair of KEEN in your closet, you just may not realize they make them for little feet too. TinySoles carries Keen in US Infant size 4 up through Kids size 13! KEEN Kids shoes feature the same comfort, fit, and durability as their famous adult counterparts and the Infant line from KEEN (US size 4-7) features a more age appropriate flexibility in the sole. There are also a couple of Infant styles that keep that flexibility going all the way up to size 10. The Kids sizes have a wider toebox which works well for wide feet too! A couple of styles get a little stiff in the sole in size 8 & 9 and so we recommend those for confident walkers. If you are concerned about flexibility please give us a call at 800-338-4071 and we will be happy to go over those with you.

KEEN is not only known for great shoes, but also for their commitment to the environment and sustainability. We love the fact that KEEN has adopted a proactive environmentally based business model and are committed to pushing the envelope of corporate social responsibility. They place emphasis on sustainable product development, strategic sourcing options, impactful community outreach, and a progressive work environment. Bottom line, you can feel just as good as your feet do about wearing KEEN.

KEEN aren't your typical cutesy little shoe. They have a sporty, outdoorsy look with all the same technical details and quality you expect from Adult shoes. Don't get me wrong, they look great on and with plenty of styles and colors to choose from little feet will be able to tackle the outdoors and beyond in style. KEEN shoes will withstand the abuse your kids will put them through and KEEN stands behind everything they make. We are especially BIG fans of KEEN's patented toe protection, as our kids can now drag the top of their feet along the ground (don't ask how but it does happen) without the hint of a scuff. One little TinySoles Tester calls them his "speedy shoes" and is convinced his KEEN Truckee's give him the ability to run faster! And this is one shoe you CAN actually buy for yourself as well (just not from us)!

When shopping for KEEN at TinySoles you will find all the US sizes 4-7 under the "Infant" product and all the US sizes 8-13 under the "Kids" product. KEEN sizing can be a little tricky as it varies a little with each style as does the thickness and the width. We have attempted to try to note any sizing issues under each product but if you are uncertain about the size you need, please call our shoe specialists at 800-338-4071.

Looking for KEEN sandals? We already stock the Newport and Venice, but we will be receiving a BIG shipment of Sandals in about a week or two that includes more color choices in the Newport, the Venice H2 line and the Raleigh. We'll let you know as soon as they arrive.

pediped Flex are here!

2009-02-25T11:14:00.001-08:00

Spring 09 pediped Flex just arrived at TinySoles! This much anticipated line has taken some of your old favorite styles like the Giselle and Abigail and turned them into cute sandals ready for summer fun. Right now 7 of the 12 new Spring styles are IN STOCK and available at TinySoles with the rest arriving this week. We do have the Lily White in stock, but since pediped is already sold out of them we are sure ours will go fast too! Never fear we will be getting more in mid March.

pediped Flex is a line of flexible rubber soled shoes for children ages 1-5 years available in US children's sizes 5-12.5. Developed specifically for growing toddlers, pediped Flex is the next best thing to bare feet for active children. Consistent with pediped's Original leather soft soled line, the rubber soled line features flexible, skid resistant rubber soles and supple, premium-grade leather uppers. To support active feet, the Flex collection also includes ultra-pliable FLEX ZONES to provide maximum flexibility while maintaining stability. Shock absorbing air cushion technology on each heel protects against impact and distributes pressure evenly through-out the foot. Perfect for running, jumping and playing, Flex provide the perfect blend of comfort, protection and style.

What does all this really mean? Simply put, pediped Flex are a flexible shoe with more support and protection than a first walker rubber sole such as See Kai Run and Robeez Tredz. We think Flex are perfect for active, confident walkers but we hear feedback from our customers that their early walkers have no problem walking in these too. Who can resist their unique and adorable styles?

We find Flex work well for narrow to wide feet, with particular styles that work better for different widths. For extra wide feet, we recommend See Kai Run and KEEN. As an added bonus, all the pediped Flex SHOE styles (not sandals) come with an extra set of 2mm insoles to customize the fit for your child. The idea is that you can start with both insoles and then remove the extra one as your child's foot grows to extend the life of the shoe. We do know that from size 22 and up they seem to run big, so we recommend using actual length measurements to help pick the correct size for your little one. Please see our pediped Flex sizing Chart. If you have any sizing concerns, please call our shoe specialists at 1-800-338-4071 so they can help find you the perfect pair of shoes for your child's feet.

Giveaway Time: Down to the fun stuff! We are giving away two FREE pair of pediped Flex shoes of your choice.

1. Be the first person to make a purchase at TinySoles and use the coupon code: FLEXIFUN at checkout. If you get an invalid code error, then somebody already beat you to it. If you don’t, then you are the lucky recipient of a FREE pair of pediped Flex shoes. Just let us know in the customer notes section during checkout what style and size you want (please give us at least 2 choices incase one is out of stock) and we will send them along with your order. This freebie is open to everybody in all locations, cannot be combined with any other offer and has the following rule: Be first!

New Eleven Collection

2009-02-20T12:14:00.000-08:00

The spring 09 collection from Eleven is NOW in stock at TinySoles. Eleven's new spring collection features, yes you guessed it, 11 fun new styles in US kid sizes 9-13. From sweet sandals to edgy mary jane's and beyond, Eleven's spring 09 collection delivers vibrant colors with a classic casual, city-chic style for the bigger "little feet" amongst us.

Eleven is a sister company with See Kai Run, carrying on the same tradition of flexibility and good looks, and is the answer for those seeking a solution for when See Kai Run no longer fit. Based in the Northwest, Eleven combines quality footwear with independent style and modern accents making them perfect and functional for every occasion. Made with attention and care for the journey that happens every day, these shoes don’t have a break-in period. The Eleven Collection all feature premium materials and construction with soft leather uppers, cushioned insoles and flexible, durable soles with superior traction. As an added bonus, all their shoes feature easy on/off Velcro or zipper closures.

What we love about Eleven is how light and flexible they are. Most shoes in kids sizes 9-13 start to get stiff, bulky and heavy, but not Eleven. They took the concept of See Kai Run and continued it on but with more kid appropriate features and durability.

At TinySoles we have an enormous amount of stuff to say about our products and only a teeny space to say it on our website, so we started this BLOG and Facebook page as a way to connect with our customers. However, we hadn't anticipated how wonderful it would be for us to be able to interact with ALL of you. We have met some very interesting and sweet people through our giveaways and we are just so impressed with the effort you ALL make to give us feedback. Our Robeez Tredz giveaway winner Shawn just sent us the following email and it inspired us to take a moment to thank you ALL for your choosing TinySoles!

“Hi!

I can't say how much I love your website! We won a pair of robeez tredz and my daughter loves them! They are so cute and comfy. We had never tried robeez tredz and were able to try them with your contest. Thank you!!!! I love your website and check it daily...watching for new spring shoes to come out. We missed the first giveaway of skr, I had placed an order that morning and had not seen the blog or contest. Now I'm hooked on your blog! Your customer service is great...it is so fast and I love the cute wrap. I also love the free shipping and coupon that comes with the orders. I will continue to proudly and confidently share your website with everyone. I also host a playgroup of 50+ moms with young toddlers and would love to share your website with all of them!

Thanks again for your wonderful service, selection of the best shoes, and fun and awesome giveaways that allow us to get hooked on new brands!

From a very very picky mom of two...quality, comfort, and cuteness are so important in shoes and your selection provides all that!

Shawn”

2009-02-03T21:54:00.001-08:00

New spring styles of Robeez Tredz are NOW in stock at TinySoles. Robeez Tredz have been redesigned and updated to a US shoe sizing system to ensure a precise fit for toddlers ready for outdoor adventures. They now come in US whole sizes 3-7 for easier sizing, have a wider medium plus fit and have increased volume over the instep.

The new spring collection consists of 5 new syles for girls, 5 new boys styles plus 4 new sandals. Featuring a flexible, non-slip TPR sole, Tredz combine the health benefits of soft soled shoes with the protection of an outdoor first walker. Robeez Tredz are podiatrist-approved to ensure the healthiest development for growing feet.

New pediped Originals

2009-01-28T01:55:00.000-08:00

14 fun new spring styles of pediped Originals JUST arrived at TinySoles. We also received a new shipment of older pediped styles, including styles that have been out of stock for awhile like the Olivia White, Isabella White, Kaitlyn White and more.

pediped Originals are designed to be the "next best thing to bare feet" for children ages 0-2 years. They allow children's feet to develop naturally and provide optimal support and protection during the developmental stages of babies' feet – from the initial crawl to first steps and beyond. pediped Originals feature cushioned leather soles and soft, flexible uppers. Officially recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association as contributing to better foot health, pediped footwear is a smart choice for parents concerned with the long‐term development of their children's feet.

We highly recommend pediped for first and new walkers, as they provide the benefits of a true soft sole, yet are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Soft soles enable babies to sense the ground beneath their feet as they learn how to walk and develop foot strength as they grasp with their little toes. Pediped's velcro strap make them easy to put on and adjust the fit, even for babies with chubby ankles. Our one caution is on the sporty Janine style. It is not a good choice for narrow feet as it has less adjustability with the strap, but it is a great choice for wide feet. Equally important, we love how they look!

To squeeze these new styles into our warehouse, we have temporarily put a LOT of XS (0-6 months) styles on SALE as well as a few styles in all sizes. So now is a great time to get a deal on a pair of pediped, especially if you have a newborn, are expecting or need a newborn/shower gift!

Giveaway Time: We are offering 2 ways to score a FREE pair of pediped Originals of your choice!

1. Be the first person to make a purchase at TinySoles and use the coupon code: FREEDIPED at checkout and you will be the lucky recipient of a FREE pair of pediped Originals of your choice. Just let us know in the customer notes section during checkout what style and size you want (please give us at least 2 choices incase one is out of stock) and we will send them along with your order. This freebie is open to everybody in all locations and cannot be combined with any other offer.
Congratulations to Maria from CA who won a free pair of Zoe Metallic Gold.

If you have ever made a purchase from TinySoles, then post a comment to this Blog by clicking on "comments" below and tell us what style and size you would like (please give us at least 2 choices incase one is out of stock) along with your TinySoles order ID number (which you can find on your order confirmation email, invoice that came with your purchase or through your TinySoles account).

New Robeez Soft Soles + Mini Shoez

2009-01-21T21:34:00.000-08:00

The Spring 09 collection of Robeez Soft Soles and Mini Shoes are NOW in stock at TinySoles. Robeez have refreshed their spring collection with innovative new patterns, embroidery, contemporary fabrics and unique prints. We agree, as there was a lot of oohing and ahhing by the TinySoles staff when the new styles arrived.

The Soft Sole spring collection has 13 new girls styles and 9 new boys styles. Also new this season, TinySoles is now carrying the largest Soft Sole size (3-4 years) in select styles!

The Mini Shoez collection has tripled in amount of styles offered this spring and has been resized. They now come in US whole sizes 2-5 for easier sizing. As an added bonus, they have also decreased in price! How often does that happen?

As a mother of a boy, I know how hard it is to find cute stuff for boys, especially shoes. I think Robeez has done a geat job with this new collection of offering a wide variety of styles for boys. One of my personal favorites is the soft soled Weekend Islands in Taupe (shown in picture above). I know I say this often, but its' picture really doesn't do it justice.

Giveaway Time: Now to the good stuff. To celebrate these new arrivals we are giving away two FREE pairs of Robeez. Be the first person to make a purchase at TinySoles and use the coupon code: FREESHOEZ at checkout and you will be the lucky recipient of a FREE pair of Robeez Mini Shoez of your choice.

New Spring See Kai Run Styles

2009-01-16T19:50:00.000-08:00

The Spring 09 collection from See Kai Run has JUST arrived at TinySoles. These brand new syles only became available TODAY, so you can be sure your little one will be one of the first to sport these fun new styles. The spring collection features 7 new girls styles, 7 new boy styles, and 4 rerun styles. The reruns are favorite styles that are back by popular demand.

If you are familiar with See Kai Run than you already get why we love this Brand and can skip straight down to the Giveaway section. If not, then let me tell you the scoop on these great shoes for infants and toddlers. See Kai Run shoes are a line of foot friendly shoes designed for pre-walkers to post-toddlers, 6 months to 3 years old, with a modern, unique flair - they have a shoe to fit every personality! Made from luxurious, butter soft leather, See Kai Run shoes provide a perfect combination of protection and flexibility. See Kai Run promote healthy development of babies' and children's feet with their ultra-flexible soles, soft leather and wide toe box. Each shoe has a soft leather lining and insole for optimal breathability and padded collars for comfort. See Kai Run are available in US kids sizes 3-9. We highly recommend these shoes as the next step after soft soles, when your child is needing a little more protection from their shoe or when they are wearing through their soft soles faster than you can buy them!

See Kai Run's generous width and wide toe box allow for plenty of wiggle room and ensure a great fit even for wide feet. Most people aren't aware of this, but See Kai Run actually come in 2 types of shoe construction. The styles that have visible overstitching around the sole, such as the Forest, Lowena and Spencer, have extra height and length and are perfect for thick feet (also known as a high instep) and/or extra wide feet. These styles will run a half size longer on normal width feet.

Finally, a sophisticated approach to comfortable baby and toddler shoes.

SmartWool Giveaway

2009-01-04T13:05:00.000-08:00

Our recent wintery weather has reminded us all at TinySoles about our favorite addiction – SmartWool. Last winter we discovered SmartWool made kids versions of our favorite wool socks and accessories, so we tested them out on all the little feet at TinySoles. And as we suspected, they are just as addictive as the adult versions. So this fall, we added the SmartWool Kids collection to TinySoles.

If you aren’t familiar with SmartWool, then you probably have the “old school wool” mind set – warm, itchy and hand wash only. SmartWool isn’t your Grandma’s wool! As the world leader in performance wool products, SmartWool has perfected the no itch, no shrink approach to wool. The primary ingredient to SmartWool's legendary soft feel is New Zealand Merino wool. With its naturally breathable and temperature regulating fibers, SmartWool is the best fiber in the world for cold and warm, wet and dry. It will keep you comfortable in ALL conditions whether you’re out tromping in rain, shine, heat or hail. Plus, you can chuck them in the washer and dryer with the rest of the laundry. Oh yeah - one more reason to give your little one SmartWool: with so many colors and patterns they're as fun as they are comfortable!

Besides basing their business on a completely sustainable, renewable, natural resource, we love the fact that SmartWool has adopted a proactive socially and environmentally based business model. Their philosophy is ”Through smart and sensitive business practices we are excited to continuously do our part to leave the Earth better off than when we arrived; economically, environmentally, and socially.” So you can feel good about wearing SmartWool too.

TinySoles offers an extensive selection of SmartWool socks and accessories for babies, toddlers and kids. SmartWool socks come in various thicknesses from non-cushioned everyday use to extra thick fully cushioned, perfect for layering under snow boots. They also come in a range of lengths from ankle through over-the-calf. You will find specific thickness and length information about each sock in its TinyTips and Features section on TinySoles.com.

Every sock in the collection is adorable, but here are some of our favorite picks:

For babies we love the Booties. You can choose from 3 basic colors and 2 striped prints. They come in a 2 pack, are incredibly soft and comfy, and make the perfect shower or newborn gift.
For infants/toddlers the Baby Amigo Nuevo is our best seller. It is the perfect thickness for everyday wear, comes in a 2 pack, and due to its stretchy nature will fit for a long time. We have heard that the 12-24 months size has been worn comfortably by a medium width US kids size 8 foot.
The Kid sizes have the greatest selection. For function, we love the fully cushioned, extra thick Wintersport sock. It is the perfect layer in winter boots, comes in a cute stripe pattern and will keep them warm all the way over their calves. We also discovered that this sock is the perfect night time sock to combine with footless jammies to keep blanket kickers warm all night long!

Giveaway time. Want a FREE pair of SmartWool socks of your choice? Then be the first person to make a $30 or more purchase at TinySoles and use the coupon code: FREEWOOL at checkout. If you get an invalid code error, then somebody already beat you to it. If you don’t, then you are the lucky recipient of a FREE pair of SmartWool socks. Just let us know in the customer notes section of checkout what style, color and size you want and we will send them along with your order. This freebie is open to everybody in all locations, cannot be combined with any other offer and has the following two rules:
1. Be first
2. Enjoy

Congratulations to Tamie from MA for winning the free pair of SmartWool. We hope you enjoy your Baby Amigo Nuevo's!
