Christmas Gift Idea for the baby shoe lover

Before I became a parent, I would judge children’s apparel on looks alone. I had no idea that certain features could make kid’s clothing way better than the original version. Sure, the weird little pockets, zippers and snaps were interesting to look at, but I had no concept of what purpose they served, if any. This steep learning curve has forced me to reflect on some of the cringe worthy gifts I have given over the years to mothers-to-be; I wish I could take them all back to better spend my money. Now I shop primarily for innovative features; if the clothing happens to look great, so much the better.

Take for example one of the latest products that I received for review as a perfect example of what to look for – and how those handy features make a real difference when you most need them to. The item is a pair of chocolate leather boots from Bobux; they are not only beautiful but wonderfully functional. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways: The boots slide on easily thanks to elasticized ankles. They stay on for that very same reason. My kid loves to pull her footwear off, so this is a must have feature for us, lest I feel the need to retrace my steps every time I visit the grocery store looking for her lost footwear. Because of the elastics, I don’t have to fiddle with laces or buttons when she swings her feet to avoid getting dressed. And I don’t have to worry about anything poking into her on the inside of the boot.

The leather is soft and is specially branded as Eco-Leather, meaning that the tanning process produces environmentally friendly and biodegradable leather (traditional tanning methods use heavy metals and pose a health risk). Essentially, this means that I don’t have to freak out when my daughter sucks on her shoes. Bobux shoes wash off easily, and if you have read my previous reviews, you know how important this is to my daughter’s strained-carrot-spit-up habit. In addition, they are lined with a soft plush, making them warm and comfy for her. The soles grip the floor so she can move around without slipping; this type of sole is apparently very good for their foot development. AND they are fashionable – my daughter wears them with both pants and dresses.

Bobux originates in New Zealand and their apparel is sold internationally.bobuxgirl
