The streets around the neighborhood have become quiet again, and that means it is back to school time.  With that comes all new school supplies, and new clothes for the kiddos.  Since having the boys, I have come to realize that children grow up quick, and that means as a parent you are out buying clothes and shoes at least twice a year for your kids.  Going back to school means going through the closets, and getting kids ready to look and do their best.

Even though my two aren’t in the classroom, I do have to shop and update all their clothes and shoes for the upcoming Fall and Winter months.  Having twins means that, I am clothing two at the same the time, and buying shoes, two to four pairs at a time.  When, I am out looking for kid’s shoes, as a parent, I am looking for shoes that are practical but look stylish, and shoes that are well made.  Typically, I buy shoes that are made to last till Spring, and that allow for a little extra growth.  I am willing to spend the extra twenty dollars on shoes so they last.

Umi shoes is one of my most favorite shoes  for the boys.  They are good quality shoes, that fit well and look good.  In the past, I  have found that most of the really fun shoes are for girls but Umi has equally awesome shoes for boys and girls.  Adorable Fall styles, like the Tiberius Lo and Oleson are some of the cutest shoes to join Umi’s wonderful collection of shoes.   Umi shoes are  made to fit your child’s growing feet and to bend and flex with them as they run, jump, and play.  Both of my boys have tested Umi shoes to their limits, and even after they outgrow them, they still look great.  All their shoes are made with a little extra grow room so, you can make their shoes last through the season.
