As a certified reviewer and brand ambassador I received these shoes for free from Umi, all views and opinions are my own.
As a certified shoe fanatic I've always had lots of pairs for myself so it's only natural that I would have lots of shoes for the Booper as well. Shopping for shoes for boys is a different ballgame, the selection can sometimes be lacking, but not when you shop boy's shoes at Umi. Shoe designs are always changing with the trends and Umi is committed to keeping boys and girls running with style. Just as important as having an amazing looking shoe Umi shoes are handcrafted to give your child's feet plenty of room to breath and room to grow. No pinched toes here!Since starting school this fall the Booper has had to make so many changes and learn so many new things. He's loving showing off what he's learned to us, but one thing we haven't taught him yet is how to tie his own shoes. I know we're not alone with this since pretty much all of the kids in his K-4 class are not able to tie their shoes either. The thing with having a son very tall for his age is he also has larger feet. Finding shoes with hook and loop closures in larger sizes can be tricky and looking for classic styles the best selection I've found is at Umi.
We chose the Oleson B II from Umi to be the Booper's all around shoes for school. You might remember I mentioned that the Booper attends a school where uniforms are required and these shoes look great with his jeans or khakis. This style is available in two color choices (Black and Green/Multi) I chose the Green/Multi but the color looks more tan to me. With a small yellow stripe on the shoe tongue and up the back these shoes have just the right amount of detailing to make them pop. Made with leather and man-made uppers this pair of shoes also offers the Umi-Tex water resistance to keep the Booper's feet dry.
I love that he can grab his shoes in the morning and put them on himself. It gives him a sense of pride about growing up. Happily giving me hugs as he walks confidently into class or running around our yard chasing the falling leaves Mr. Boop loves his shoes from Umi.

I'm a grownup and I don't like tying shoes either. Velcro is a great invention.

Very true on boys shoe selection often being limited. From classic dress shoes to athletic shoes, but it's hard to find just a nice, casual shoe. These look nice without being overly dressy for every day wear. Look how easy they are to get on and look very durable.
