Fashion & Gear - Shoes

Jae Donnelly/INF and Maloles

We have to admit, we’re loving Suri Cruise’s fab footwear collection. From her chic heels to her cute sneakers, this mini fashionista has got it all.

Recently, we spotted her wearing a stylish pair of purple ballet flats. After some digging, we found out they are by Maloles — a Paris-based brand of must-have flats and more!

Her specific style — the Celia ($162) — is made of super soft suede and sports a pretty satin bow on the heel.

Suri’s also wearing Juicy Couture’s adorable Preppy Striped Cardigan (now $42, originally $94) in pink/grey, as well as, the Highlighter Baby Rib Skater Tank Dress ($22) in pink and Shiny Legging ($25) in lamé silver from American Apparel.

Jemos Baby Shoes

The soft-soled baby shoe market has exploded in the last few years. Rightly so. Research solidly supports that soft-soles give babies and pre-walkers their best chance at proper foot development.

One of the latest to throw their hat in the ring is Jemos — a Missouri-based company that strives to design affordable kids shoes without sacrificing the environment.

Each shoe is made from premium, safety-tested leather remnants from high quality furniture manufacturers. The company also uses 100% recyclable packaging complete with low printing inks and a natural cotton rope handle.

Each style ($28 per pair) is adorable. Our faves include the colorful printed Maiya Cherry and the orange Elaina (above) for girls. For boys, we really like the classic brown Baby Blake. All Jemos come available in five sizes: Newborn (0-6 months), Small (6-12 months), Medium (12-18 months), Large (18-24 months) and Extra Large (24 months).

Need a little extra incentive? Each pair comes with a giraffe finger puppet — pink for girls and tan for boys.

Simple Shoes

This fall, Simple Shoes has unveiled its first-ever toddler shoe collection as well as several new styles for babies and kids — and we have to say, we like what we see. We’re big fans of this green company (here’s our first review) so we were excited to preview this new collection.

Eco conscious moms will love The Weegee ($34, left), a cute bootie made of eco-certified tannery suede and organic cotton that will keep newborn feet and ankles toasty warm. They’re also easy to clean — just pop them in the washing machine! Plus, they come in four adorable styles (ladybug, flower, spider and owl).

The brand new Noodle ($40), Doodle ($38) and Poodle — available in whole sizes 4 – 10 — are also super cool! These sneaker style toddler shoes feature toggle laces and velcro straps so they’re easy to get on and off.  From bold and bright to more subdued, there are lots of colorways to choose from.

Make-A-Wish

More than 60 celebrity parents have signed on to the Stars for a Wish initiative — a joint effort by pediped and the Make-A-Wish Foundation — by signing baby shoes for auction. Beginning today, you can bid on pedipeds autographed by familiar Celebrity Baby Blog faces like Courteney Cox-Arquette, Halle Berry, Tiger Woods and Jessica Alba.

Hurry up and place your bid. Each winner will receive their shoes in their choice of a cherry-finished shadow box or a clear acrylic box complete with an engraved plaque.

Organizers have an ambitious goal of raising $25,000 overall. Each and every dollar will go directly to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which helps grant the wishes of children facing life-threatening medical conditions.

Angela Edgeworth, president and co-founder of pediped, says that the response from celebrities was “overwhelming.” She notes,

“Now it’s all up to the public to bid high for these shoes so they not only receive a beautifully presented keepsake from their favorite celebrity, but more importantly, so they will be helping children.”

The auction runs until Nov. 5.

Ugg

On the heels of last weekend’s successful release of Where the Wild Things Are (it came in #1 and raked in $32.7 million), UGG Australia and Warner Brothers have launched a stylishly cool Wild Things collaboration.

The limited edition collection ranges from $60 to $150 and features the ever-so-popular Infant Erin (sizes small, medium and large) and the Kid’s Classic (toddler sizes 7 – 13 and children’s sizes 1 – 6) with super cute graphics and designs — Peeping Eyes and Max’s Crown — inspired by the movie.

Starting today, you can pre-order the boots at the company’s New York Upper Westside retail location or online.

Consider your money well spent! Fifty percent of the proceeds will be donated to UGG’s partner charity St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Ahnu

Autumn is upon us, bringing the promise of cold days, sporadic rain, and eventually, snow. But there’s no reason to get the near-winter blues — especially when your children have cute boots to keep their feet toasty!

Known for its outdoor performance shoes for men and women, Ahnu also has a durable kids line, now featuring the new Montclair boot ($59.95 – $64.95). Made of waterproof breathable nylon and lined with faux fur, the boots keep little feet warm — and cute!

The multi-terrain outsole follows the example of other footwear in the line, providing great traction for those extra-slippery days. The boots are available on REI.com in girls’ whole sizes 10 – 13 and 1 – 5. Check out the matching boots for moms on Zappos.com, too!
