Giveaway! Adorable Shoes from Bugaloo!

 

I will bet my last dollar (and seriously, in this economy, it IS my last dollar) that your baby doesn't have a cuter and more reasonably priced, pair of shoes in his closet than these. Stylish, funky, fun, AND easy to care for. Ohh, a mother's dream. And that reasonably priced thing I mentioned? Only $14.99. Can you STAND it?! Soft-soled shoes typically average around $30. This is NOT the sale price, mama - it's the everyday, finally affordable price from Bugaloo, on their gorgeous baby shoes. "Twice as cute, half the cost."  I could get really used to that motto.

 

Bugaloo sent my Munchkin the sweet "Bluebirds" style you see here. I fell in love with them the first time I saw them. The color combinations are neutral enough to go with almost anything she wears. The design is ultra-unique - seriously, you've seen the leather shoes with the flowers, kittens, bows, and the like, but have you ever seen a bird singing in a tree? That's what I thought. Yea, we're setting trends over here, baby. And she can't pull them off her feet, which is saying a lot considering how strong her 9 month old grip is.

 

Don't let the low cost fool you. These are quality. "Recommended by medical experts and the smart alternative to restrictive hard soles, Bugaloo soft soles allow for proper balance and foot development."  Bugaloos are made with elasticized ankle design so they stay on; soft durable leather, and dark brown soles that hide stains (genius!). But my favorite feature, besides the look, of course, is that Bugaloos can be thrown in the washing machine!! Ha! "Dish piles are high enough without adding a pair of shoes to scrub. If your Bugaloos are looking dirty, throw them in the washer machine and go take a nap."  Gotta love a company who is practical AND has a sense of humor...and, um, knows the importance of my nap. Available in sizes small (0-6 months) to x-large (18-24 months). Where are you going to find a cheaper, cuter shoe for your baby, or gift for your girlfriend with a little one (you know, a friend like me, for example - hint, hint).

 

Many of the vendors I have worked with generously give part of their proceeds to charity, but I found this one particularly compelling, and wanted to tell you a little more: "I love not only baby shoes, but also the little ones that wear them. 5% of each Bugaloo purchase will go to International Justice Mission, an organization that fights sex trafficking. More than 50% of persons trafficked are minors." 

 

More than 2 million children are trapped in forced prostitution.

80% of persons trafficked are women, and 50% are minors.

Human trafficking is the world's third largest criminal enterprise, after drugs and weapons.  

A great shoe, and a great cause. I'd say this was pretty guilt-free shopping here, folks.

Wanna Buy It?  Go to http://www.bugalookids.com/ and check out their funky fabulous selection of soft-sole shoes for babies 0-24 months, at super prices of only $14.99.  Free shipping with purchase of three pair (and you'll find at least that many that you'll love!).
