Appalled by the exorbitant prices of soft sole leather baby shoes (a.k.a Robeez), my cousin Heidi, a graphic designer here in the NW, decided to take the matter into her own hands. Now, after two years of hard work, that dream has become a reality as she launches her own baby shoe website: Bugaloo Kids. All custom designs by Heidi, the shoes are extremely affordable at $15 a pair, with free shipping if you purchase three or more pairs. Click here to visit. These are wonderful for a Christmas gift or upcoming baby shower!
Heidi has done a fabulous job designing these shoes! We absolutely love our pair and Karis gets complements wherever we go. They are comfortable, easy to take on and off, and made to last! Great for around the house and everywhere! These shoes are offered in three convenient sizes (0-6 months, 6-12 months, and 12-18 months), but be aware that these shoes run large. Karis at 18 months of age is in the 6-12 month size, so definitely compare with the use of their sizing chart. Plus Heidi donates 5% of all her profits to the International Justice Mission.
As a way to promote and support her creative small business, we are offering a giveaway of one pair of bugaloo shoes of your choice!

Since I’m due with a girl in just a couple months, I’d have to say that the Bluebirds and Gabrielle are my two favorites. But I love the Clive for boys too!
I like sneakers – no laces to actually tie up, yet they look so grown up, & George – our son always says “oooo oooo” They would suit his personality perfectly!
Those shoes are awesome! I like the dash and the sneakers, although it is very very hard to pick only two, they are all so cute! I hope her business does well!

My favorites are the Bluebird style and Sammie style, very cute and such a great price!
Very cute shoes. I like the Leo Dash and Quackers oh that was 3. Really I like them all.
The girls ones are really cute as well but we have a baby boy so right now I am looking for the boys things.
robyn and bluebirds for me – what a great idea!!
All the shoes are adorable. I love the Mary Janes but I saw they are out of stock, Ellie and Gabrielle are also adorable (my baby girl is in the 6-12 months range if we are lucky enough to win). Thank you for sharing this great resource for quality baby shoes.
I love the sammie and the gabrielle
Hi Lindsay,
Thank you for all of the wonderful, thoughtful things you share in your blog!)
(Since I’m posting I figured I should confess I’ve been lurking for a long time now.
I love, love these little shoes, and ironically just bought one of the expensive brands for my daughter for the first time today. I should have waited a little longer, I guess. Anyway, I adore the out-of-stock Mary Janes (hopefully back in stock soon), and the little bluebirds are too sweet. I will share this website with all of the moms I know!
I linked it on my blog!

I love these shoes! I especially liked the bluebirds and the Gabrielle. Very sweet for my little girl!
I love the pink kitty and the adorable mary J shoes. Too cute! Also, who can beat the price? Thank you SO MUCH for working on making more affordable and adorable shoes for our munchkins!
Can I pick three? I love the Gabrielle, Bluebirds, and Ellie!!! SO cute!
I like the boys sneakers and Quackers.
My 2 picks are George & Dash for boys. We’re expecting in February and these are too cute. Thanks for having this giveaway.
I posted a link to my site for this giveaway…

I love Clive & George for my newest nephew! I wish these had been around 4 years ago when my son was a baby! Best wishes to Heidi and her new endeavor.
The Quackers and Ellie shoes are adorable – I know my little girl would love the duck shoes the most. She has this thing for ducks.
Thanks!
I love all of these…it was very hard to choose…but I think I pick Bluebirds and Ollie for girls. So adorable!
Here is the link to the post I did on my blog.

I like Quackers and Freddie. Ha! How cute. We don’t have kids (yet), but baby shoes come pretty much to the top of my list as a baby shower gift. Everybody gives clothes or blankies – give ‘em shoes!
I also really like that they can just be thrown in the wash if they get dirty. Now THAT’s practical!
Kitty and Gabrielle. My baby girl is just starting to stand so we’ll be needing soft soled shoes soon
I was just thinking today that I needed to get my little guy some new shoes. He has outgrown the ones he has now. I am glad that I did not buy him any while shopping today. My 2 favorites are Owen and Clive.
I wish my daughter could still wear them. Maybe I will have another girl someday. I am planning to buy some for a shower gift.
I am also planning to post this giveaway on my blog. I will return with a link to it soon.
So cute! Wow I like them all! Since I have to pick 2 favorites, Eddie the Elephant ones are just adorable and, the Clive ones are just so cute too! She is very talented!!!
I love the shoes! I’m always looking for ways to keep my little ones’ feet warm (I have three pairs of feet to look after). My favorites are Robyn and Ellie.
I blogged about the giveaway. Here is the link:

I love the Mary J.’s and the bluebirds. Those are very cute shoes.
I love Francis and Quackers (and all the others too)! These are SO adorable and I LOVE that you can machine wash them!
Do you know where they’re made by any chance?
The sneakers and Francis/Freddie ones are my favorite, they seem the most unisex, would be great for passing on to other kids in the family or in other families. Our baby is due in late April and we don’t know whether its a girl or boy, so either of these would work! They seem to be a great bargain.
I liked Eddie and Robyn. These are sooo reasonable compared to Bobux/Robeez. Wish I’d known about them a few months ago when I got a pair for my daughter. Fortunately they were on sale…
These are so cute! I absolutely love the Mary J and kitty ones!
I love the songbird (Sammie) for girls and the Owl (Ollie) for boys. I have 3 boys and 1 girl and your cousin has done a great job! It’s hard to find cute and affordable children’s clothing. I especially love the fact that part of her proceeds go to fighting childhood slavery! Way to go! May the Lord bless her business for His Glory! I will be telling my siblings and friends about this great business.
Mary j. and Bluebirds. I LOVE those Mary J’s!! Adorable!!! They would be so so cute on my little darlin’.
My favorites are Robyn & Bluebirds. I love the cut work on the bluebirds design, and the stitching/colors of Robyn. Ollie is also very cute.
What a lovely shop!
I think Dash and Freddie are my favorites! Too cute, and what a cool thing to have baby shoe priced reasonably!!
Love them all!!! I love the Bluebirds for a little girl and the Freddie for a little boy. My girls are too big right now for these, but Lord willing we hope to adopt again and I will definitely have to remember this site. Can’t believe how inexpensive they are!!
Oops I forgot to leave the link to my blog.

Those are so cute. Perfect for my 6mo dd. My favorites are the Mary J. and Robyn. I posted a link on my blog too. Thanks for the offer!
Mrs. H
Oh, wow. I can only choose two favorites? These are so cute! Your cousin is certainly gifted. I have to say that I love “dash” and “clive” especially. Thanks for hosting this giveaway. ; )
I love the Bluebirds and Sammie designs. I have two girls, and my 6 month old daughter will love these…or at least, I know every one will compliment her shoes!
I appreciate your blog, its great!
So, don’t know if I am allowed to be entered into the contest anyway…but I’ll give some feedback to Heidi anyway;-). I love the Ellie and Robyn shoes…still have not gotten around to buying some. Cute, cute, cute.
I like Gabrielle and Mary J the best, although there are lots of cute designs. These would be perfect for our little girl! Thanks for having the giveaway!
Aww I love the pirate and Freddie shoes! This is the cutest site!

The “Quackers” and the “Sammie” are just too cute! I wish these were around a year ago when my daughter could still fit into them. I know my niece or nephew would LOVE a pair… I’m definitely going to use these as gifts!
My favorite are Robyn & Ellie, but they are all so cute. So much cuter than the brands carried in stores for outlandish prices. I think these two are my favorite because they could easily be used for a boy or girl.
OK, these are too stinkin cute! I actually ordered 3 pair…they’ll make great gifts and it seems everyone I know is pregnant…I ordered Own (in 2 sizes) and bluebird…so I guess those are my favorites. If I win the drawing, I’ll be happy to pick one pair for myself for the baby we hope to pregnant with soon!
I can’t believe they’re only $15!!
I love Ollie & Robyn and have a feeling my bird-loving daughter would too
wow! first to comment, i think- i love these shoes! please enter me in the contest- i love the George and Owen shoes. as well as the others. but those are my favorite. thanks for sharing information about the shoes, i will definately order when my son outgrows his expensive Robeez (which we bought only as a last resort) i could actually afford more than one pair!
I love the Freddie and the Owen shoes!!!!!!I have been wanting to get a pair for my little jack!I am going to buy a pair in a couple of days when I get some cash!
Very cute! I like George and Eddie for my little 18month old boy!
