Trendy Toddler Tuesday - Boot Boy!

Today we are focusing on Petit Boy's footwear. I found it very hard to find boots for boys and thought I'd share these off to fellow mothers of little boys.



Mothercare - Walker Boots (£15.00)
They also do some other boy boots on their website called Biker Boots and are in the sale! Thought I should let you lovelies know as they are also fantastic... I think I might go order some as well! Why not check out Trendy Toddler Tuesday and join in the fun? If you think your little one is trendy that's all that matters!

WIN: One of THREE Pairs of Bobux Shoes

Win one of three pairs of Bobux!

The original baby & toddler footwear that combines nature with nurture

From birth to three, little feet undergo an enormous amount of change. Whether crawling, toddling or walking, a child’s footwear needs to support healthy, natural development.

Bobux, a leading New Zealand innovator in children’s footwear, draws on both science and working with globally renowned specialists and natural health researchers to create eco-friendly footwear that allows unrestricted development as babies and toddlers grow.

Bobux offer three ranges of footwear based around the philosophy that children do better when they’re comfortable, happy and free to develop as nature intended. Each shoe is designed to support key stages of a child’s development from crawling to walking.

Soft Sole (indoor wear)
The first ever soft-soled elasticated leather baby shoe was created in 1991 by Bobux founder Chris Bennett. These are soft, breathable and flexible shoes for babies of 0 to 27 months. Made with eco-leather and non-toxic stitching and dyes. With a unique elastic ankle support, these Bobux originals works with little feet as they grip the floor, flex muscles and spread toes, assisting in crawling and making those first steps as easy as possible. The fun, colourful soft sole designs also work to stimulate little minds just as they’re starting to take in visual information. It’s like having a mobile on the end of their legs!

Pre-walk (outdoor wear)
Feature a revolutionary duo-flex sole (leather round the edges and rubber underneath) to support but not restrict natural movement during those first few steps. The pre-walk range consists of sandals, ballet shoes and sport shoes.

i-walk (outdoor wear)
A soft, flexible rubber-sole shoe with extra grip that conforms to the natural walking motion of little feet allowing them to grow and explore without restriction, avoiding malformation and spinal issues later in life. The i-walk range consists of sneakers, loafers, casual shoes and sandals.

We got to try some of the i-walk range for boys and must say they are great. It was nice to find some boots for boys and although they have been used and worn so often inside and outside they haven't taken much wear or tear, so thumbs up from us!

A Secret to High Heels?

It's not secret that I'm a short lady (hint in the blog name) and I must admit I don't fully embrace my height as well I probably should. I love fashion but with lack of money and my body size I simply just wear whatever I can afford that will fit... sort of. One of the things I would love to wear are high heels but having spent all my life wearing trainers and flats my feet are just too soft and sensitive for the likes of pretty heels. Or are they?

I may be a bit of a geek, but I love alternative fashion and I love feeling good about myself. This includes being able to wear pretty shoes and so far have yet to do this without pretending the tears dripping down my face are because I bit my tongue when really it's because I've gained at least one blister or each foot within the first hour of putting them on. What am I doing wrong, ladies? I'm a UK size 5 and have rather slim feet. I've tried all sorts of brands and even insoles to help, but no matter what I always find myself with blisters and very sore.  Also how do you walk with them? Infact how do you walk with them on whilst pushing a pushchair around town? I just can't master the skill of high heel shoes or even boots for that matter!

Tell me your shoe secrets... help a 5'2" young lady feel a few inches taller minus the unhappy feet.
