It’s the final week of summer and we are trying to squeeze every last drop out of it with fun things planned each day. At the same time, Mom is scrambling to make sure things are in order for the first week of school. New socks. Check. New undies. Check. New shoes times 3 kiddos. Check, Check, Check. We are still working on the school clothes but have enough to get started. The shoes were the easy part. We always find just what we like at Umi Shoes and this year was no exception. In fact, I think this is the best year yet!
I am totally digging the “Jett” style for boys. Jackson’s first day of school outfit is ready to go!
We gave the outfit a trial run with his new Seahawks backpack.
Comfortable enough to play in!
Umi Shoes “Jett” are casual sneakers made of breathable canvas and leather uppers. The lining and footbed are also canvas while the contoured outsoles are rubber. This particular style is available in 3 colors. Jackson is wearing “Dark Gray Multi”. The colors are fairly neutral with the exception of the yellow eyelets so they pretty much go with anything. The laces are elastic so there’s no shoe tying, a fact that both Jackson and I like since he’s still working on tying his shoes tight enough that they don’t come undone every five minutes.
I love that these shoes look great with pants as well as shorts because Jackson has talked me into allowing him to wear shorts through the month of September. After that, Mama’s putting her foot down because it’s far too cold for my baby to be wearing shorts! Umi Shoes “Jett” retail for $46, a reasonable price for a quality pair of shoes!
My girls in their first day of school outfits from Tea Collection including Umi Shoes.
Little Parker loves to dance and play. She’ll be starting preschool this year and couldn’t be more excited. These silver glitter “Leola B” flats suit her style and personality. They look super cute with dresses but are also adorable with leggings and even jeans.
Parker snuck out with these shoes to ride her bike and scuffed the glitter off the toe of one of the shoes but its not that noticeable and I think I can get crafty and fix it right up. Like all of the Umi Shoes we’ve owned, this pair is comfortable and well made. I know they will last well into the school year. This pair sells for $55 and also comes in a black/silver combo.
Parker is ready for school!
One of the things I love the most about fall is being able to wear boots again. While I do miss sandals and flip flops, there’s just something about a great pair of boots that I adore. My oldest daughter loves to wear dresses but for the fall and winter, I insist on leggings and shoes with socks.
Boots work perfectly and I think she looks super cute and grown up in them, don’t you? They also look great with skinny jeans! I love shoes that are versatile and the Quiltee B II from Umi Shoes is a great fit for our needs.
These quilted snow boots are constructed with UmiTex, a water resistant yet breathable material and a neoprene lining that both keep little footsies warm and dry. The buckle accent and a slight heel add some extra style to these already stylish boots. McKinley loves that it has a heel even if it is a tiny one! The zipper on the inside side of the boots makes these really easy to get on and off so my independent girl won’t need any help getting ready to go in the morning.
Look at that sassy pose! I think she likes them!
Two thumbs up to Umi Shoes yet again for another great line of shoes! Check out all of the latest styles a twww.umishoes.com. You can also see my past Umi Shoes reviews here (some of the styles are still available).
