I have a confession: I love shoes. Not shocking, I know. But now that I’m a mom of little ones I focus my shoe shopping energy on the kiddoss. So imagine my sheer joy when a Shopping Mama reader introduced me to Bugaloo: Soft Sole Leather Baby Shoes.
Bugaloo shoes are the creation of graphic designer Heidi Wells. She started the company with three simple goals: 1. Create quality baby shoes that cost less than $20; 2. Design shoes that are trendy and unique; and 3. Recognize that there’s an opportunity to do more than make a buck and give back.
There are a lot of shoe companies out there trying to get your money, so why Bugaloo? Well, other than the obvious fact that the shoes are to die for adorable, there are some great benefits to these shoes.
* Wallet friendly – only $20 for a quality pair of leather baby shoes
* Feet friendly – soft soles allow for proper foot development and aid balance
* Mama friendly – machine washable!
* Community friendly – 5% of each sale goes to the International Justice Mission, an organization that fights sex trafficking
* Aesthetically friendly – these shoes are cute, cute, cute!
Bugaloo shoes made of soft, flexible leather with cotton-lined soles and an elastic ankle band. Shoes are available in four sizes from 0 – 6 months to 18 – 24 months. I love that in addition to fairly gender specific designs there are lots of darling neutral designs, like my favorite Francis the Froggy.
Shop! Bugaloo is expanding its collection with the launch of adorable new designs. Each pair is only $19.99 and shipping is free with the purchase of 3 pairs.
Win! One lucky reader is getting the pair of Bugaloo shoes of your choice!

April 30, 2009Tough choice. I’m torn between the Bluebird style because the bird is just too cute and the Chloe because they’re so girly.
