Why do babies and moms love Rileyroos?

RILEYROOS design inspiration comes from a combination of European fashion trends and American spirit and casualness. They are designed to imitate barefoot walking and to protect little feet.

The sole of a Rileyroos shoe is flexible and its rubber-padded sole curls above the toes to provide leverage as a child begins crawling. Unlike many heavy or bulky first walking shoes, Rileyroos’ lightweight construction and protective bottoms support a child’s foot as he or she starts walking and provides traction to prevent falls on slippery surfaces.
Soft, yet durable, they promote the proper development of the foot while protecting it from heel to toe with a flexible rubber sole.
Babies and toddlers enjoy their comfort and parents love how they look! So many to choose from for so many occasions: from dressy shoes to sporty shoes, to beach shoes to simply casual shoes. They are affordable, stylish, and more importantly healthy for little feet.
Shoes For Little Feet is happy to offer you the shoes from Rileyroos. We are getting more new styles for the summer in March.

Primigi Prisca Review

 
I have to admit I am a bit of a shoe fanatic! I was always fond of children shoes since I was a little girl. Well, I am not a little girl anymore. But let me tell you, if I were a young girl I would love to own a pair of silver sparkling Primigi Prisca sporty shoes. They look fancy enough to be worn with dresses and they will also go with jeans, shorts, pretty much anything. They are very stylish in a popular metallic color of the season. They feature Primigi's Sky-Effect Systems - a flexible, lightweight, shock-absorbing, breathable, and anti-bacterial insole that offers special protection for those precious little feet. They have leather upper and leather insole that is removable and washable. They are super comfortable as all of Primigi shoes are. Primigi - Italian brand - has been manufacturing children shoes for decades. Their shoes are comfortable and fashionable. Who would not want to own a pair of these beautiful metallic leather mary janes? I just wished I could own a pair myself. This is a good buy. If I have convinced you, you can purchase them at http://www.shoesforlittlefeet.com/
They are currently on sale:  with  additional 10% off and free shipping you will save 30%. Such good deal will not last long.

Wrong size? - How to measure children's feet correctly


  • Feet can be quite moody: usually the right and left feet are different lengths, they are shorter and narrower in the morning than in the evening, and they’re longer when you’re standing than when you’re sitting or lying down. Feet need the most room when they’re in motion: the toes slide forwards with every step.
  • Children's feet need at least 12 mm (just under 1/2“) of extra space in the toe of the shoe to be able to move unrestrictedly. New shoes can have up to 17 mm (not quite 3/4“) extra “wiggle room”. This way, they should fit well for quite a few months.
  • The ideal shoe for children should be soft and pliable.
How to measure:












-Have the child stand on a piece of cardboard and trace the outline of each foot.
-Add at least 12 mm (just under 1/2“) to the length of the longest toe (for new shoes, add 17 mm, or not quite 3/4“).
-You don’t have to cut out the whole template, a strip the width of two fingers is sufficient. If the cardboard strip fits inside the shoe, then the shoe is long enough.


    The Thumb Test







    Professionals always measure with two hands. To make sure that the toes are not bent in the shoe, press the toes lightly with one hand while you measure the fit with your other hand.
