Giveaway Now Ended!!

For those of you who have young kiddos, you know how hard it is to keep shoes on their feet! Both of my girls were constantly taking off their shoes & socks as babies & toddlers (in fact, my little one still does!). That’s why I love starting off with the leather soft soled shoes….as they actually stay on their feet & are great for beginning walkers at the same time! Most of you may know the Robeez brand, as the popular soft-soled crib shoes for babies & toddlers.  However, for many of you, paying $20-$30 for a pair of shoes that your child will outgrow in a few months may not be the thriftiest option!

Did you know that Target also carries soft-soled leather crib shoes called Ministar shoes made by Bobux? Ministar shoes are made from natural leather, which is what pediatricians recommend for a baby’s growing feet.  They have suede soles to provide a good grip for beginner walkers and are very flexible  to give a very comfortable fit for your children.

My oldest daughter actually had extra wide feet – and we bought several pairs of Ministar shoes when she was a toddler as they were the only shoes that fit her. They were perfect for her as there was elastic around the  ankle so we could get them around her feet, but  then they still stayed snug so she couldn’t pull those shoes off constantly. The same is true with my younger daughter, too – she also has wider feet, so the Ministar leather shoes are a great option for a size that fits her comfortably & will stay put!  She loves to throw her shoes when she’s in the stroller – so the Ministar shoes definitely slow her down & make it much harder to get those shoes off! ;)

Target.com now has a large selection of Ministar shoes by Bobux and the prices are at least half of what you’ll find for the other soft-soled leather shoes on the market!  There are some super cute styles for boys & girls! The prices are $12.99 for the shoes & $19.99 for the boots. You’ll also find these in Target stores as well!
