Please check out our FAQ in the left sidebar. We know you're all going to be excited about this week's sponsor! Because what parent isn't interested in putting their child in quality shoes that will stand up to heavy play and still look great. We're all concerned about putting the right shoes on our kid's feet so that they are protected but can still develope and grow as they should.
So Why Wear See Kai Run?
According to their website, See Kai Run is the right choice for you because:
See Kai Run and Smaller promote healthy development of babies' and children's feet with their ultra-flexible soles, soft leather and wide toe box. Our footwear meets the American Podiatric Medical Association's rigorous standards for foot health and functionality and has been awarded the APMA's prestigious Seal of Acceptance.
Healthy Fit
- Very flexible soles are healthy for developing feet.
Quality Construction
- Leather used for our footwear meets the most stringent available U.S. and international guidelines.
- Sheepskin leather uppers are butter-soft and more durable by weight than cow leather used by many other brands.
- Durable construction and rubber sole stand up to heavy play indoors and out.
Urban Style
- Hip, urban styles in modern color palettes.
- Bold designs and detailing.
- Modern takes on classic styles.
When I first learned about See Kai Run, I thought wow all those features sound great, but buying kid's shoes online? Do I really want to make a purchase without my child trying them on? Trying on See Kai Run shoes is as simple print out their sizing chart and lining up your child's foot on it. We got a great fit that way and the right sized shoe. It was all so quick and easy. Plus, I found out that even if I was still nervous about the fit, there are several stores in my area that carry See Kai Run.
We received this beautiful pair of Celeste shoes to review. I loved the combination of leaf green, sunshine yellow, and rose pink the moment I saw them on See Kai Run's site. The Mary Jane design is sturdy but still feminine. They keep little toes covered up so they don't get scraped up during active play, and still keep out yucky things like rocks and wood chips from the playground. Those are the bane of my toddler's existance. There is nothing worse than to have to stop playing to dig out uncomfortable things from one's shoes!
The colors are very pretty and soft. They match practically everything in my daughter's spring and summer wardrobe and the leather is so soft. I think they might be the nicest shoes in the entire house, including all of mine and my husbands! She wears a lot of dresses and skirts and they look so pretty with them. I like knowing that while she looks, in her words, "All fancy," she's also in comfortable shoes and her little toes don't have to suffer to look good. There's time enough for that once she starts wearing heels, right ladies?
This pair has the following features:- Handcrafted from butter-soft sheepskin leather
- Flexible rubber sole – healthy for developing feet but sturdy enough for outdoor play!
- Generous width and wide toe box for plenty of wiggle room!
- Adjustable Velcro closures make shoes easy to get on and ensure a great fit
- Breathable leather insole and lining
