Here in Ohio we may be drowning in snow, but that doesn't keep us from thinking about warmer weather. I assure you, Spring is coming, eventually! Maybe. I hope. Winter DOES have to end, right?
Anyway, with warmer weather coming, we're looking forward to all the awesome things my town has to offer for families. We have a great outdoor water park, tons of playgrounds, and even fun festivals and live concerts a couple blocks away on the riverfront. (Can't wait for the Italian Festival and Rockin' On the River!)
So now, as I stare at all of the snow in the yard, I am planning for sunny days and tons of family fun. Oh, and I have even started breaking out some of the kids' springtime wardrobes, shoes included! After all, the kids would look pretty silly showing up at the park in shorts and snow boots, right?
Luckily, choosing footwear for the little ones was simple. Of course I chose Umi children's shoes. This is a brand I have loved for quite some time, ever since Sophie and Xander were babies. Umi offers tons of fun, functional styles that are perfect for active kids like mine.

Our Umi Spring Review :
My awesome pals at Umi Children's Shoes sent us a couple of adorable pairs of sandals from their new spring line to check out for ourselves.
Xander will be rocking these adorable Reece Sandals. They come in a few different color options, and these are the Dark Tan. I love the neutral colors paired with a bright red!

These sandals are very rugged and durable, and are perfect for all those playground visits and camping trips. They feature 3 hook and loop closures to ensure proper fit, and they're also quite easy to get on and off.
They also feature very durable rubber soles. One thing I love about Umi shoes is that they offer great traction on all kinds of surfaces. So puddles, gravel, mulch, and grass are no match for these babies!
Sophie received the adorable Tamela style. These are unique because they give the look and feel of both sandals and sneakers. They're kind of a hybrid, if you will.
The Tamela comes in some great colors, including this stunning silver. They also feature hook and loop closure and are easy to get on and off.

Similar to the Reece sandals, the Tamela also offers durable rubber soles, perfect for play. I love the fact that while these shoes are pretty enough for special occasions, they're also perfect for playtime.
So if you're looking for stylish warmer weather shoes for your little ones, definitely check out Umi Children's Shoes. They have so many fun styles for both boys and girls, and these shoes are amazing in quality and are built to last! We've been Umi fans for quite some time, and I can tell you that the kids outgrow these shoes long before they wear out. Yep. They're pretty darn awesome, and worth every penny!
