A Little Bit About Umi
We are Umi Children's Shoes and around here, happy little feet begin with our gentle hands. Hands that meticulously craft each and every shoe for the utmost in comfort and fit. Hands that simply know how to make a better children’s shoe. So, what makes a better children’s shoe? Years of experience working with age-appropriate lasts, patterns and buttersoft leathers give Umi a step up over everyone else. At Umi, all we make are children’s shoes, and we believe every step your child takes is as important as their very first.

At Umi, caring for little feet also means caring for the earth—which means we set our standards sky-high. Every shoe we make is tested for safety and durability and meets strict guidelines for child-safe materials.We use only non-toxic drum-dyed leathers and other environmentally friendly components. 
Protected in recycled packaging, Umi’s a brand sure to please parents and Mother Nature alike. Shoes are made for much more than walking. Umi shoes are specially designed for the littlest and hardest working feet in mind. At Umi, our focus is on quality, comfort and style. From years and years of hand crafting shoes for babies, boys and girls we’ve developed a deep understanding of materials, patterns, footbeds—the building blocks of creating the most comfortable shoes around.

Our Experience
When shopping around for shoes for my children I try to always keep 2 thing's in mind; 1.Their style preferences 2.The durability, as pertaining to each of their activity levels. B can be very hard on his shoes.... he runs everywhere (seriously I've never seen a child run so much), and it seems when he's not running, he bouncing or skipping....you get the idea ;) SUPER ACTIVE CHILD! I often replace his shoes every 6-8 weeks due to wear (he's especially hard on the toe of the shoe).
Upon receiving the Umi Tiberius Lo boys shoes (pictured above) I was not only thoroughly impressed with the design of the shoe, but the quality of the materials used. The Tiberius design is constructed of weather proof materials, and has a reinforced toe and heel (with heavy rubber that will not wear easily). B loves the design, and says that they're super comfortable (they have been his choice of footwear daily since their arrival). I love the quality of Umi shoes, they're stylish yet still kid tough. We will definitely be purchasing B's shoes from Umi in the future!
