User Reviews about umi Infant Pearl Pre-Walker

I like that they actually stay on my daughters feet. Very cute shoes! We got the black ones and love them. -- cute shoes

I ordered 3 pair before they finally fit. First pair was too large, 2nd was too small. Bought these for 6 month old when she was trying to crawl and stand. These really helped her move along. Normaly kept her in socks at daycare but she would slip and fall or pull them off. Winter is cold with no socks on laminate and hardwood flooring. Bought these in white and black. Only negative about the white leather is she had rubbed off places on the shoe within first week of wear. Would not be able to consign because of condition but would keep for 2nd child. -- great first shoe

I try to buy the Umi brand shoes whenever they are seriously discounted (which is often on amazon). These are great little shoes. They are well made, cute, have incredibly flexible soles that still provide excellent traction (for both crawling and walking) and they stay on. There isn't much more you can ask of an infant/toddler shoe. They do tend to run a bit wide compared to many other brands but this works well for our daughter and it should work well for most babies in cooler weather when you put them in thicker socks.

We've been passing along the ones our daughter grows out of to two other little girls and they've held up through all three babies incredibly well. Periodically I find a loose thread but it doesn't seem to damage the integrity or appearance of the shoes and I just cut them off. We generally buy the all leather styles but we did purchase the black velvet shoes and they are designed so that the velvet doesn't show wear. All of the places that tend to rub are leather. The lighter colors of leather do tend to scuff and show dirt but you can clean them fairly easily if it bothers you.

We've purchased other shoe brands for our daughter but so far they just haven't compared in quality and functionality (even if they are cute). -- Wonderful prewalker shoes

I get so many compliments on these! While they appear orange-y red on the screen, they are more pink-y red. Which is great b/c they can go with both pink and red outfits! They do run fairly small, so order the next size up, or at the least the next half size. My daughter was measured at Stride Rite just days before these arrived, and was a smidge bigger than a 3. A 3.5 size fit snugly. -- Adorable!

These shoes are great. Not only are they easy to put on, but the velcro strap also keeps the shoe secure and difficult for the baby to pull off. There is ample traction on the bottom and my new walker seems to do well in these shoes without any discomfort. I bought these shoes because they can be worn either casually or formally. Not to mention, you can't beat the price. A slight negative I have about the shoes is that it's hard to discern between which is the left and right shoe. However, I must be putting the shoes on correctly because my baby is doing great with them. My other caveat is that these have a velvet texture, so you have to be careful about water damage. -- Great Product - Great Price
