A Big Step For Small Feet... A Contest!

Ok, it's almost been a couple weeks since I've talked about shoes. How did that happen? To make it up to you, I've got a fabulous giveaway to tell you about thanks to Vincent!

Have you seen their shoes?! Did you know they are having a big Summer Savings Sale?! Yes, I said shoes and sale!

Swedish designers Patrick Österman and Thomas Elbaum are the creative forces behind the Vincent shoe brand. The birth of Thomas' nephew, Vincent, in 1998 and their subsequent disappointment with a lack of high quality, stylish children's shoes, sparked their desire and initiative to design a fun, fashionable and functional kids' shoe brand. While fashion-inspired, the Vincent shoes are not "over-designed" and there is always a focus on fit, functionality and practical use for children age 6 months to 8 years.

We got to pick two pair of Vincent shoes to try out. I let Carter pick a pair- he went crazy for the Stans in navy/yellow. And they are so Carter! I picked out the white/orange in the Smith style for Gray. When the shoes came in the mail, my boys wanted them on right away and Gray even slept in his that night. Seriously. My boys love shoes. I'm so proud.

These shoes have been kid-tested: worn while in the dirt, throwing rocks, wrestling in the grass, & even through a couple ice cream cone sessions. They still look like they've hardly been worn!

Vincent offers a very useful Shoe Fitter Guide to be sure you get the perfect fit. Returns & Exchanges are free- so no worries there! And right now you can get free shipping on orders of $75 or more- even on sale items!

Search for a Vincent retailer near you with their retail locator. And don't forget about that Summer Savings of 25% off selected styles going on now!

If you'd like to win a $50 gift certificate to Vincent follow these 3 steps:

2. post about this contest on your blog linking to Vincent- www.vincentshoestore.us by Thursday June 7 before 9 AM (CST.)

Next Thursday at 9 AM (CST) I'll randomly pick a winner from the Linky list to win the $50 gift certificate to Vincent! Only blogs that have linked to this contest will be eligible to win. I will check to see if you've posted about the contest!

They are so adorable.. My favorites are.. the oskar, bobby, martin, sam, rasmus,stan, steve, face,mini frog...are all adorable.. depends who i'd be buying them for my little one or my 3 yr old.. :-)

Annie said...

Just happened across your contest, and thought I'd give it a go. The shoes are really sweet (Toni style caught my eye in particular). I don't have a blog of my own though - aselchen@hotmail.com Fingers crossed.

Jen T. said...

Mora for my two girls, Tor for my little boy...it was SO hard to pick a favorite style!

Qtpies7 said...

Wow, those are such adorable shoes! I really love the Jumps for my little Sam! I have 4 kids who would fit in their shoes, so it would be hard picking what to buy if I did win.

Like a Star said...

I am so on it.. Could these shoes be cuter?? Gone are the days when we mothers-t-boys could gripe about not having anything cute to put on them. My JJ would be so adorable in these! Maybe he would even learn to walk in them. (wiping sentimental tear from cheek)

Gustogirl said...

Love these shoes. My little baby boy is my third and his next oldest sibling is also a boy, so he gets a lot of pass alongs from his older brother. These would help him be so dapper!

Ryan & Brittany Birnel said...

Oh I love the Lilly shoes for my daughter Lily!

Anonymous said...

Judy said...

Arianne said...

I wish I had my own blog, but I don't at the moment. :)

My faves for my 3 boys...the Oskar in brown and blue, the Cool in navy, and the Mini in red or black for the baby. Its hard to pick favorites tho, all their shoes rock.
