 Little Feet Children's Shoes

They have over 60 years of experience in the shoe business which started with Dad, Michael and then Daughter, Darcie and now they are passing on their knowledge to their own children.

Many of their styles are also approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. They specialize in Premier Shoe Brands for infants, toddlers and youth. These brands include Stride Rite, Bogs, See kai Run, Keen, Geox, Merrel, Ugg and more. 
 
Deer Stags Boots
Deer Stags Mack2 Waterproof work boot
We received two pairs of Deer Stags Mack2 in Wheat ($50ea). I chose these as I figured they would be wonderful for this coming winter as they are water insulated with Thinsulate for warmth and they are oil and water resistant. And of course for their durability, these boys of mine are rough on everything, including their shoes. 

Some Features of the Deer Stags Mack2
  • Faux-nubuck upper
  • Thinsulate® insulation for warmth
  • Lace-up front
  • Padded collar and tongue
  • Removable, cushioned insole
  • Lugged TPR outsole
 


We received these boots on Halloween which was awesome as our Halloween was quite rainy. So the boys wore their Deer Stags to the Museum for the trick or treat event. As we walked to the van, Cade had stepped in a puddle and comment on the fact that his feet were dry! He was quite excited by this. These boots went great with their costumes. 



Cade (left) was Bumble Bee from Transformers and Ezio (right) was the Gold Power Ranger. They both really love their boots and both have wanted to wear them to school everyday. Neither of my boys have worn boots except snow boots a few times so it did take them a little bit to get used to a little heavier footwear and having to pick up their feet a little more. 

Typically in the mornings on our way to the bus stop, Cade almost always complains about his feet being cold. I have not heard a single complaint from him of his feet being cold in his new Deer Stags Boots! Awesome for the both of us. 

I'm betting these will be their choice of footwear all through out the winter and probably until I have to hide them so that they will wear something else. Cade did come home from school yesterday though and told me which days he has gym and that he has to wear his tennis shoes on gym day. So his boots will get a little break twice a week. 

 
Ezio is in school now, but only for a half day. I took this picture of him all tired out from school on Thursday while we waited for the older two to get off of the school bus after he got home. He is usually running around me while at the bus stop, but he was pretty worn out.

On Halloween, both boys walked around the Museum for Trick or Treating for about 1.5-2 hours in their boots and then we came home and took a short break. Then we had to head back out for Trick or Treating in the neighborhood. I didn't hear any complaints about their feet hurting which is pretty amazing for a 5 year old and nearly 4 year old boys! In their tennis shoes they definitely would have been complaining or refusing to walk any further. 

Five Stars all around for Deer Stags Mack2 Little and Big Boy Boots!

Sole Provisions Weil Rhythm Walker Black & Teal Walking Shoes Review


Holden Nagelberg first got into the shoe business back in 1991 while he was attending graduate school for music education in Queens, NY. He needed a part time job that would work with his busy class schedule and student teaching schedule. He seen an ad for a part time job at a local orthopedic shoe store, he applied and was hired. He quickly realized how fortunate he was to be working for a great family that had spent three generations in the orthopedic shoe business. He was treated as if he were one of their own and was exposed to a wealth of information about foot problems, footwear, and custom orthotics. He liked his job and environment so much that when he finished his teaching certification and was ready to fill a position in a local middle school, he accepted a job to become the shoe store manager instead. 

In August of 1997 Holden was able to open Sole Provisions in the village of Huntington, New York. This was due to his generous employers who agreed to co-sign a business loan for him and he planned for a year. 

Weil Rhythm Walker Black & Teal 

I received a pair of Weil Rhythm Walker Black and Teal walking shoes ($119.95ARV). All Weil Integrative Footwear Styles feature the revolutionary AMS "Aided Motion Control" System, Orthaheel's Tri-Planar Motion Control System and a first ray flexor zone. These three systems combine to provide easier movement, greater endurance and energy and improved posture. 


Now that we finally have nice and warm weather here... minus the past few days which have been rainy and chilly, we have been taking the kids for walks, going to the park quite often and even walking down by the lake. These walking shoes have made it so much more enjoyable to do these things with my children! My feet, ankles and knees all hurt less and even my back hurts a ton less! Yes, just a better pair of shoes can help relieve pain in all of these joints and these shoes definitely do so!

As some of you may know already, I have Ankylosing Spondylitis. A rare auto immune disease that affects all of my joints and is similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis - it causes chronic inflammation through out my joints, so staying active and keeping everything mobile is definitely important. The big issue with AS is that it is causing my lower vertebrae to fuse together over time, making posture key! While sitting, standing and even walking I need to try and maintain proper posture. 

In all honesty I can say that I noticed my posture has been much better while wearing these shoes then any other shoes I've ever worn. Of course I do have the best posture while barefoot, but even though I do sometimes, I can't always go into stores barefoot. They will catch me if I am a "repeat offender", I just greatly prefer being barefoot. 

These shoes were a bit snug on my feet at first as I have pretty wide feet, however they "stretched" out nicely and are quite comfortable now. I even forget to take them off when I come in the house and sometimes don't even realize I still have them on when I'm doing stuff around the house. This is coming from a person who would never wear shoes if it weren't a requirement in public! These shoes are definitely my first pick when going anywhere, heck I'd probably even wear them to a wedding they are so comfortable.
