As parents we have all seen our child’s face light up in a smile while walking or running toward us, so proud of their new found mobility. All of a sudden BAMN, down they go, turning their beautiful smiles into tears. Yes, that expensive shoe that we parents have trustingly slipped on our precious baby’s foot caused the fall. While you wipe away the tears and kiss it all better, let me introduce you to the new “Natural Motion System Early Walker Shoe” from Stride Rite.
I received a pair of these shoes in the “Kit” style for my 18 month old daughter to try. When I saw these absolutely adorable shoes I quickly put them on her before even reading about them. {I get excited about new shoes.} Once the shoes were on she started across the floor in a run and I noticed she didn’t fall down or trip. When I did sit down to read about the shoes I wasn’t surprised to find out that Stride Rite designed them specifically for young walkers who are not always steady on their feet. After firsthand research with a typical wobbly toddler I can say with confidence that the shoes really accomplished their intended purpose.
The design of the Natural Motion System is built with no right angles so there is nothing on the shoe that can catch and cause a fall. On the inside of the shoe is a thin out-sole that supports baby’s toes and helps grip the floor. This out-sole also helps promote natural muscle development. In addition to the benefits for the child, Mother Earth {and all who love her} will be glad to know the shoes are made from recycled rubber, water-based inks and include natural stitching. The packaging is also recycled {and is great for storing “treasures” in once the shoes are removed.}
Babyluxe readers can all enter to win a pair of these fabulous shoes in Billy or Kit styles. Just visit striderite.com and let us know what you love about these toddler friendly shoes. The contest ends in one week! Good luck!

I’d love the Sperry Top-Sider Tevin in Dark Brown. It’s cool that their products are eco-friendly.
I love the kit design…so cute, th eno right angles theory is such a simple and great one. Anything that will help my early walker is a plus in this household!
Please enter me in your drawing!!
i love the stability, waterproofness of the sole and upper, and the velcro (no strings to tie!). i also love their eco-friendly use of materials. i’d love to win Billy shoes for my toddler!
I love the Azalea pink for my daughter. Love size 9toddler! Please i need the win for my shoe-loving daughter!
I need the Billy for my little grandson who is 9 months old an is starting to stand,I love the fact that the shoes are catered for walkers an give the child good support,stride rite has been around for many years an know what they are doing,thanks
I love that the soles are flexible while the shoes themselves are quite sturdy. I love the “Kit” shoes mentioned. They are very cute. THanks!
I love the design of these shoes. They are adorable! Thank you.
Stride Rite makes such high-quality shoes and these ones look perfect for new walkers. With one toddler and one “bun in the oven,” I know I’d make good use of these little kicks. I especially love that these shoes have a leather lining – helps prevent sweaty feet!

I love the fact that these are so awesome for younger kids…they are so soft…
I like the Billy shoes and that they are sturdy and non skid.
I love that they are made so that they are easy to walk in! My son is a new walker, he turned 1 yesterday. I have 3 pairs of shoes for him and he can’t walk well in any of them. He actually gets angry at them and grunts to pull them off then he walks around with a big ole grin!
Stride Rite shoes are always 1st choice in my family. They are top quality & offer excellent support for growing feet. Thanks.
I just love how cute and functional they are!
I love the wider openings – it’s hard to wiggle those constantly moving feet into tiny shoes sometimes! My daughter would look adorable in the Kit shoes, and she’ll be a walker any day now!
I love stride rite shoes. They are all so cute and are one of the best shoes for little feet that are learning to walk. They don’t have thick soles, so they’re flexible which is important for the soles of kids feet while they’re still developing and learning how to walk.
I love their designs and style! Thanks!!!
As a child, my mom tells me that she swore to buying Stride Rite shoes for me. My older siblings say the same thing when it came to buying shoes for their own children. As a mom now, I can totally understand why. I love Stride Rite shoes! They are comfortable, stylish, durable and functional. Love the NMS Puggle. I can already picture those monkeys on my little ones feet.
My favorite feature, aside from the fabulous styles is the oversized opening and slide-in back tab for easy-on and easy-off.
My favorite part about these shoes is the way they are designed not to cause early walkers to trip. My son is 13 months old. He started walking without shoes at 9 months. Now he can run, jump, you name it – as long as he doesn’t have shoes on. If he has shoes on, he trips. I have never tried any shoes from Stride Rite but it sounds like I need to!
These Toddler friendly shoes are great! Good support for those first steps! My favorite is the NMS Gosling! It has faux fur on the top and combined with the pink, it is precious for a little gal to wear!
Nice giveaway, thank you!

These shoes are so cute. I really like the e-fit questioner that helps you figure out what size of shoes to get. Sizing of shoes can make them really hard to order over the internet, but this looks like it would help. Thanks for the giveaway.
These shoes are so cute! I bet my baby would look adorable in the monkey ones

What cute shoes.
I love how they are flexible. I feel bad everytime I see a poor child trying to walk with stiff shoes on. They look like they’re waddling like a penguin.
Ok, now I need to go to stride right! I love these. My son would look adorable!
What is best about these shoes is that every pair is adorable. They are all cute. Honestly I love the puggle.
I love the green factor, recycled rubber, and packaging. My first son had stride rites as his first shoe and my new baby boy is at the pull up to a stand phase, it won’t be long before he’s ready for his first pair of stride rites
i cant believe how comfy they look
I like that they’re eco-friendly and use recycled rubber outsole, natural stitching, and water-based inks for details and logo
WOW these sound fantastic! We actually had to put our oldest son’s shoes on the wrong foot as he had a turned in gait and would constantly trip on the front of his shoes! So many people would comment!!
I love the they are enviromentally friendly I would feel so happy putting these on my youngest every day knowing they have minimal impact on our world!
Thanks

These shoes have tons of great qualities!
I like that they use some eco-friendly materials, along with the fact that I dont have to test every shoe for flexibility because I trust stride rite to have the best for my daughter’s rapidly developing feet
I love their baby girl shoes, they are so cute. My seven month old is trying to stand and walk and these would be great for her.
My little guy has been “cruising” around furniture for several weeks now – I have been struggling to find some type of shoe for him that mimics being barefoot – as that is what is best for his developing muscles as he learns to walk. Looks like this product is just what I’m looking for – everything else either has no support/cushion/structure or has too much!!
