Giveaway! Kids Shoes from U*neaks!

  
 
WHAT?! It has been almost two weeks since my last post?!  WHY has no one emailed me to make sure I was alive, that I had survived my overdose of shortbread cookies meant for Santa; that I survived two kids home on winter break while I continued to work, decorate, shop, host, un-decorate, and shop some more (you WILL see my lighted house from space next Christmas)?  Well, just to convince you that there's no hard feelings...and to diminish some of my guilt, I'm kicking off the NEW YEAR with some NEW KICKS for the kids! Something adorable to start their year off on the right foot (I'll stop now).  Something they'll probably appreciate much more than that itchy sweater they got from Grandma for Christmas.

Introducing:  Fun and fabulous shoes from U*neaks.  "Kids shoes with windows and socks with fun and fashionable designs, so that you can change the look of your shoes by changing your socks. All our socks are double sided, so that you get two appearances from each pair of socks by simply switching your socks from one foot to the other. Pair the shoes and socks to unleash your imagination, match your mood and express your style.  U*neaks are more than just unique shoes and socks, they are a window into a world of fun."

 

Now, I was unable to review U*neaks personally, because my big kid is too big for them, and my little kid is, well, too little.  Bummer. BUT, I thought the concept was so original and the shoes so cool, that I still wanted to feature them here. I sent an email out to the mommy support group I belong to - and let's just say, I've never seen these chicks respond that fast. Within seconds of my request looking for someone to review these shoes, I had eager mamas hitting their reply button.  The first to respond:  Terica, who had actually already heard about U*neaks from a mom at karate class.  She selected the Camel Rev style (top photo) for her son, and was also given two adorable and hip pairs of socks.  Here's what Terica had to say...

 

The shoes were A HIT with my kid!!!  He loves them and the fact that EVERYONE, not just him, can see his "cool socks" as he put it.  First of all, he was already a sock person believe it or not.  He always has to get whatever socks they have in the $1 section at Target. He now has every color, character and design his heart desires.  So, the fact that he can share the cool socks through the cool shoes, he LOVES!!  He was asleep when I got home Sunday so he saw them when he woke up Monday morning and of course he wanted to wear them to school.....pause....its raining....5 minute argument on why he cant and he finally put on his rain boots.   When he got home he INSISTED on "trying them on" WITH his favorite army print sweater which happen to match a pair...needless to say...the shoes are great.  Good quality and comfort (he says).  He wanted to personally come to your house and thank you for the cool shoes ....but I kinda....told him you were not home and that we could take a picture instead...lol!!  its attached.  Oh, he may like the socks more than the shoes.....he's been wearing them since he put them on.....MONDAY!!!!  I guess that means they are comfortable...and of course, cool :).  Thanks Again Nina

It's tough to pick! I have 3 kids. My older son would love the Gray/Yellow Boomerang sneaker. The Pearlized Pink Paris Z-Strap would also be adorable for my daughter.
