I've been looking for some shoes for Rowan lately. After watching him trip repeatedly in his little church shoes a few weeks ago, I took them off to see why he was tripping so badly. They were shoes that Chandler wore when he was little as well, and I'm sure he tripped in them lots too, but as a first time mom I guess I thought that was normal the first few months of walking. I pulled the shoes off, and couldn't believe I'd never noticed how hard the sole was. They don't have any give and had hardly any padding. They sure are cute though. When I stumbled upon See Kai Run, I was immediately excited to learn that they had a nice flexible sole. And that's only the beginning.
Pros: This company was inspired by a mom, who, like me and many other moms wanted to find shoes for her
little Kai that had a flexible sole and were comfortable. I love mom inspired companies. You know that someone behind the scenes has been there and really knows the market. Plus, it means that much more thought and effort goes into the product.

Plus, it means that much more thought and effort goes into the product.We got a pair of the Grayson Sandals, size 5 for Rowan. I was immediately pleased the moment I pulled them out of the box. The leather is a sheepskin leather and is extremely soft. Because they are a genuine leather, it means that they will wear well. Unlike a pair of shiny black shoes I just bought Chandler. They are NOT leather and already have some ugly scuffs on them. The insole and leather of this shoe are also leather, making it very soft and comfortable. 
The very next thing I did was test the sole. They are extremely flexible and have a great amount of traction on the bottom. I'm a big fan of the soft soled leather shoes, but many of them aren't too feasible for outside play. These are great for outside play and offer the flexibility and comfort a little walker would need.
One thing I notice when talking to a lot of moms is that they have to buy "wide" sized shoes for their babies and toddlers. This is hard sometimes as it really narrows down the selection. See Kai Run has taken this into consideration with their wide width they have on their shoes. Rowan doesn't have wide feet, but the shoes still stay on 
perfectly and give him some extra room.
perfectly and give him some extra room. After putting these shoes to the test, I am officially a See Kai Run fan. We went out to the playground and had no tripping! Rowan seems to
really like his shoes, and I love that they are incredibly cute. Plus the shoe that he orders goes up to a size 9, meaning your older child can enjoy the flexible well made shoes. (Chandler is almost 3 1/2 and is wearing a size 9 if that gives you an idea of the age group.)

The whole See Kai Run line is incredibly fashionable and trendy. Comfort plus style, what more could you ask for?
Lastly, I can definitely tell these shoes will last. I will put them away after Rowan has outgrown them. Maybe there will be another little boy in our future a few years down the road. :)
Cons: I am in love with these shoes and don't see any cons with the shoes, I'd just like to see more retailers carry them in their stores. If you are interested in a store carrying them in your area, they have a form you can fill out.
The Bottom Line: Flexible, well made children's shoes with fun trendy styles.
Price: $24-38 depending on style and sale.

I am already a follower of your blog, I am following you on Twitter, and I signed up for e-mail alerts. I am having a hard time choosing what shoes I like. They are all adorable! Isaac really needs new sandals so for him it will be the Greysons size 8. I also looked at the girls smaller and Isabella would look super cute in the Anne size 9-12 months or the Kadence size 12-18 months. If I win it will be hard to choose just one! Thanks for the great give away.
