I am and always have been very careful about what I put on my children’s feet
As often as possible
Indoors and out
They love to run and play barefoot
Esther and William did not walk until they were 21 months
And so they did not really wear any shoes until that time
As with most children they got their first shoes from Clarks
But that has been their only pair
Now and for the last couple of years
My children wear barefoot shoes
Even for school
Wide fitting shoes
That do not restrict movement and growth
Shoes that have softer soles
To allow a more natural gait
Give sensory feedback from the ground
And enable their feet to develop as they should
Without restriction
One of my favourite places to buy such shoes
Is Bobux
I first tested Bobux with Matilda Mae
She needed some pram shoes for the one winter she was alive
This year William was sent some summer sandals to review
And on the strength of our testing
I then bought Esther some Bobux shoes for school
The sandals that William has he adores
We call them his cage shoes
Or his smart sandals
He loves them for biking in as they are open to keep his feet cool
But closed at the toe for protection
The sandals are very smart and can be worn for any occasion
They have survived a summer of play well
And in fact will probably able to be worn again next year
As we got them slightly too big and William’s feet do not seem to grow very much very fast
A handsome shoe I think you will agree!
This lovely leather shoe
Has an adjustable velcro strap
Making it easy for children to get the sandals
On and off themselves
These New Zealand designed shoes
Endorsed by Podiatrists
Are good for the ‘sole’
Allowing children natural balance, posture and coordination
They are great shoes for girls and boys
For work and for play
For school Esther chose these Wildflower Mary Janes
They are very pretty but perfect for school
With their leather upper and flexible gum sole
They are really comfortable for long school days
Great for running, skipping and climbing
And with the velcro strap they are easy for Esther to get on and off on her own
As pretty as these shoes are they are not going to see my girl through the winter
And so I have my eye on some Bobux boots
For both children that again will be perfect for everyday life
And for school
I love the Splash boots
The unique new Bobux 100% leather splash boot range comes in five rich colours. Using innovative splashtex™ leather technology exclusive to Bobux, splash boots are water resistant, hardwearing and deliciously warm whilst stylish enough to be worn in the most sophisticated situations
and these Blizzard Boots
Lined with pure wool I wouldn’t mind some of these for myself!
And as I cannot leave our little Bumble Bea out
I love the look of these for her tiny toes
Adding a splash of colour to the winter season
So cute!
We love our Bobux shoes
And are looking forward to being part of the Barefoot movement for years to come
Daddy does barefoot too!
We were sent one pair of shoes for the purpose of this review
Those yellow ones are just so cute
What wonderful shoes and boots….They sound perfect for little peoples feet!
