Good news for little feet: the See Kai Run – www.seekairun.com.au – and Smaller (pre-walkers) ranges have recently received the prestigious seal of acceptance from the American Podiatric Association for promoting healthy foot development!  We all know how delicate babies’ and toddlers’ feet are, and it’s reassuring as a parent to know that you’re doing the right thing by your kids when you put them in See Kai Run shoes.

We’ve all read that the best thing for the development of little feet is to leave them to go barefoot as often as possible, but let’s face it – that’s not always practical, especially at this time of year.  See Kai Run and Smaller shoes combine a very flexible sole with buttery soft leather uppers, and an equally soft lining with no irritating seams, meaning these shoes feel as good to wear as they do to look at. These features along with the irresistible designs have made See Kai Run and Smaller popular with A-list parents including Angelina Jolie, Katie Cruise, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts, whose kids have all been spotted wearing them!

Until midnight on the 24th July 2011, See Kai Run Members can take 25% off all See Kai Run and Smaller shoes! (excludes Eleven range)  You *must* be a member to get the discount though – if you’re not already, apply via this link and a discount code will be emailed to you.  Many styles are already discounted by up to 50%, so hurry before your favourite styles sell out!

The prices below are valid for See Kai Run members for until 24 July 2011, while stocks last.

1. Taylor – Grey, $64.95 less 25% = $48.71
2. Augustin – Blue, $64.95 less 25% = $48.71

This Christmas my little Master J will be toddling around on his wobbly legs, trying gamely to keep up with his big brother. Is there anything cuter than a new walker’s look of surprise when they suddenly plonk down on their (thankfully well padded) bottom just as they thought they were getting the hang of this whole walking thing?  It cracks me up and melts my heart every time.

Since my little one is so proud of his new walking ability I really want to get him some gorgeous new shoes to put under the tree.  I’m thinking sandals since it’s summer, and I’m thinking leather to breathe and conform to his foot, and I’m thinking something seriously hip to match his feisty personality. I’m thinking See Kai Run – www.seekairun.com.au - where the range is both stunning to look at and podiatrist approved*; I feel safe buying See Kai Run shoes for my little one’s feet.

I’m also safe in the knowledge that he and his brother can wear SKR shoes for a long time to come: they have the Smaller range for up to 18 months, the See Kai Run collection for 1-3 years and the Eleven range for 3-8 years.

Sign up to receive the See Kai Run newsletter and until 12 December 2010 the SKR crew will email you a special promotion code which will take 25% off your entire order. Don’t delay, join today – it’s free!

Unsure of what size shoe your child will need? Click over to the sizing and print out the sizing chart. Simply place your little ones foot on top and you’ll gain an approximate sizing.

* SKR and Smaller ranges only. Excludes Eleven range.

I have royalty in my house. My Little Miss N is the unofficial Imelda Marcos of  Australian toddlers. She has a slight addiction to shoes which has her shoe cupboard bursting at the seams.  Although she doesn’t quite have the 2,700 pairs that Imelda famously acquired, she is on her way to at least 20, and half of these are from my all time favourite label See Kai Run – www.seekairun.com.au – which have seen her from her first baby steps, right through to when she learned to jump!

At a recent party, Miss N proudly donned her very first pair of peep toe shoes. The gorgeously divine Jennae are sugar sweet in raspberry pink with cream piping.  For running and jumping, we have the Kaya. The generous width and wide toe box ensure little toes are free to wiggle and spread – no blisters here. For winter puddle jumping, I couldn’t help myself with the burnt orange Steph. They really jazzed up a number of outfits, especially some of the retro dresses we’d acquired this season.

Mister Bigfoot himself, Master R, doesn’t miss out either. With a rather large and wide foot for a little boy (already in the big boy section before he was 4!), SKR Eleven collection has provided him with ample choice for his mild fashion sense (actually, he doesn’t really have any….but it has given ME scope of choice ). The Trevor leather shoe are on my wish list at the moment for their elastic straps and hook-and-loop tab which will provide Master R with a little independence putting them on himself.

Buttery soft leather, chic designs and a wide selection of colour choices have ensured that See Kai Run has become one of the most worn and loved range of shoes both near and far. Fit for Hollywood royalty, with the likes of Jessica Alba, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts sourcing them for their offspring, this range is podiatrist approved and has sizes and styles from pre walkers right through to 8 year old. From 0-18 months, baby’s little feet are protected within the soft suede soled shoes from the Smaller range; from 1-3 in the See Kai Run styles (softer than soft leather with a flexible sole); to the cushioned in-soled Eleven collection for ages 3-8.

Try See Kai Run for yourself from now until midnight Sunday 8 August 2010 and scoop up to 50% off selected styles. A whole boot load of bargains await you, with pre-walkers are as low as $24.95 and first walkers from $34.95. I’ve written my wish list and am headed over there in just a flash; you’d better hurry – I’m likely to take the lot!

Discounted prices quoted below are valid while stock last until midnight 8 August 2010 only.

1. See Kai Run Brenna Was $74.95 NOW $49.95
2. See Kai Run Larkin Was $69.95 NOW $54.95

Boots feature a lot in my childhood memories. From the navy gumboots with red soles (there were limited styles and colours back then) to the 10-up cherry Doc Martens that I blew my entire first pay cheque on, there was always a pair in my cupboard. Boots are, to me anyway, a winter staple.  They provide protection from the elements and can jazz up a winter outfit.

These days, boots are available in a wealth of colour and sizes. Ankle or knee high; rubber, vinyl or leather; patterned or block coloured – the choices are endless.

Whether they are bought to prevent wet feet whilst dodging puddles during a frantic dash from the car to a the shops; to pretty up a skirt; for running around it the back yard or just for comfort, they may as well be stylish! Discover a collection of some of the latest boots for babies and kids this winter below.
