Momo Baby


This company offers an interesting combination of products for both mother and child.

 

Momo Baby makes high-quality, reasonably priced shoes for kids as well as stylishly designed fashion maternity clothes for Mom that flatter the body both during and after pregnancy. One of Momo Baby’s mantras is to provide the most safe and efficient products for your child.

“Our shoes are designed in-house in the USA and Japan,” company representative Tobi Moore tells me. “Not only do we design a good looking shoe, we make sure that the shoe promotes healthy foot growth.” Tobi says Momo Baby shoes have been awarded the Seal of Acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). “Momo Baby only uses genuine leather, so little feet are able to breathe. Every piece of leather used is tested by a third party to ensure that all leather is safe from lead or any toxic chemicals.”

Since the introduction of soft sole leather crib shoes for babies, Momo Baby now offers flexible sole leather shoes, leather boots, leather sandals and ballet flats in a wider range of sizes for both boys and girls. The flexible rubber-soled sandals are trendy and beneficial, too –made with a fan shaped toe box to allow your child’s foot to move freely. Adjustable Velcro straps help make them easy to put on and take off. The rubber soled sneakers have a deep tread pattern to increase slip resistance while maintaining flexibility for a natural shift of a child’s foot. The lightweight, breathable construction allow little feet to remain bacteria-free and comfortable.

XOLO


Who says shoes have to match?

080613_Xolo_01XOLO Shoes is changing footwear fashion one mismatched shoe at a time. The company celebrates a child’s unique personality with unusual shoe designs where the left and right shoes in a pair are not exactly the same.

Owner of Pam Grace Creations, she is already successful in the baby and children’s bedding industry, and has a passion for children’s design.

Fish Flops


Already snagging national headlines at the tender age of 15, this creative dynamo is 061813_FishFlops_01following her passion all the way to the bank.

You may have seen recent news stories declaring, “Fifteen-year-old Sells Over $1 Million Worth of Flip Flops to Nordstrom.” And you may wonder how it all came to happen. Well, here’s the scoop:

Back when she was just eight years old, Maddie Robinson has an idea. She thinks up a product that combines her love of swimming, fishing and drawing –a fun and unique combo, I’d say.

I’ve always been a flip-flop-kind of kid, so I created a brand of flip flops called FishFlops®. I shared my idea with many of my friends and family, and they all smiled and thought I had something special.”

061813_FishFlops_02Maddie’s FishFlops® footwear are made to mix and match with one or more of her t-shirts and caps, designed in coordinating colors and aquatic characters. The footwear lights up when a child walks, and they’re fun to share with friends, too – “make a friend smile!” Maddie says.

061813_FishFlops_03The Big Ask. All it takes for Maddie’s big break is a letter to Nordstrom about her brand –and a response from the retailer’s buying team to offer Fish Flops in 60 Nordstrom stores. The rest, as they say, is the big headline.

Maddie’s colorful Fish Flops illustrations are also characters the children’s books she writes, ocean adventures Swimming with Spinner, and  FishFlops® – Living Together at Sea by Orkicky. Kids are introduced to the Maddie’s characters as each book unfolds. Maddie is also planning a Fish Flops Virtual World.

Fish Flops sold at Nordstrom online and in stores. Email info@fishflops.com for more information about apparel and book sales.

Rileyroos


053013_RileyRoos_01Flexible, comfortable shoes that help little feet grow up to be big and strong.

Rileyroos footwear is named for the founders’ daughter, Riley. With a focus on style, comfort and ease, these parents have created a shoe line that helps children discover how to walk on their own two feet safely and with correct development.

The sole of a Rileyroos shoe is so flexible that it can be curled into a ball in the palm of your hand.

053013_RileyRoos_04“We designed the line to imitate barefoot walking and to protect little feet,” they say. The lightweight construction is easy on little ankles and toes; simple closures allow for easy on and off; the flexible, cushioned rubber sole lets little feet respond to different walking surfaces both indoors and out; the soles curl above toes, giving children a leg up, so to speak, when moving through  crawling, cruising and early walking; the handmade designs are made from soft, high-quality materials, using child-safe, genuine leather and non-toxic dyes.

And they’re cute!
