Unless I state otherwise, you can assume I received a free sample of the products that I review on this blog and, sometimes I also receive a gift certificate in exchange for writing an honest review. I've also begun writing sponsored posts here from time to time, but only for products that I personally believe in and endorse. Since I only agree to review those products I think I'll like, you'll find that most of these reviews are positive. I will, however, be honest regarding my opinions on reviews I choose to write, whether they are good or bad. Pinky swear.

I offer quite a few giveaways on this site, but if you win, your prize will be sent from the company offering it, not from my home. Consequently, I am not responsible for PR reps who mail your prize 4 months late (which happened once) or never mail it at all (which hasn't happened yet, fingers crossed).

Umi Shoes Review and GIVEAWAY!!

I could practically get a tattoo that reads Umi.

That's how much I love these children's shoes.

Both my kids have been in them since they started walking and they are consistently among their very, very favorite pairs of shoes. And now, Umi has canvas shoes that we're crazy about. Check these out:

Punky is wearing these Riff Umi canvas shoes right now and we're in love. The Riff comes in several different colors and patterns, but I love this polka dot version because it makes for a great, crazy contrast shoe to just about anything she's wearing.


And here we have the boys Keplar sneaker, which my son is currently sporting at preschool. He looks adorably retro in these shoes- and you wouldn't believe how many compliments we get when he's in them!

As an added bonus, she can wear them anywhere, from PE class to church! The PE factor has come to be a very important one when I'm buying shoes for my daughter. I don't want her to have to change shoes at school, so any shoe we buy has to have rubber soles. Umis work out perfectly- even most of their dressy girls shoes have rubber soles, so she wears Umis at school quite a bit.

Check out Umi's website to see all they have to offer. I'm betting you'll be hooked- just like I am! And while you're there, pick out a pair you'd like to win for your child. Leave a comment on this post between now and Saturday, March 5th at 11:59pm, CST telling me why you'd like to win a pair of awesome Umi shoes and you'll be entered to win a pair of Umi shoes! Be sure and leave your e-mail address in the comment so that I can contact you if you've won. One comment per person, please. This contest is open to US residents only.

Good luck!

Disclosure: I received two pairs of Umi shoes in order to write my review.

My 2.5 year old is growing like a weed and continues to grow out of her shoes! We currently have a two pair rotation, so could definitely use some cute and comfy shoes to supplement her wardrobe! :)

I would go for the Teaberry for her.

My 4yr old daughter is a fashionista and I know she would love a pair like Orchid! Actually she would probably pick out quite a few on the Umi website. Now I'm going back to look at the boys shoes.

I also have a 2.5 old that has abnormally large feet (she gets that from me) so we're always in need of a good, cute pair of shoes! Especially ones that come highly recommended! I think she would love the Arabellas!

My first grader is growing like crazy. Our finances can't keep up with her need for sneakers. I am loving the Riffs/multi polka-dots (33706-110 in size 31).

I'd love to win the Riff Kiwi! My daughter loves the polk a dots! Also the ease of her being able to get her shoes on by herself! I like that there are no laces and they would be perfect for school!

My 6 year old son has trouble tying shoelaces so it would be great to win the Montrose boots for him. His older brother has hiking boots and he's wanted a pair for himself, but it's hard to find them with velcro straps. The Montrose boots would be great!

My daughter has just about grown out of her current shoes and before I ever saw this giveaway, the new pair I want to buy for her are Umi so this must be fate, right?!

I was just talking to my kids about going out and getting them new shoes soon. It's starting to get nice out here and they are due for a new pair

I'd like to get the Tutu in white, becaue these Umi shoes would go with practically anything, and the Umi insoles looks comfortable.
