She calls them her “flippy-flops”

July 6, 2009 By Stephanie

Actually, she doesn’t own any flip flops.

But these open-toed Flutter sandals ($54) by UMI are the closest thing in my 2-year-old’s shoe drawer.

flutter sandals umi

Aren’t they cute?

They are the perfect combination of fun, style, and summer. Equally delightful with a colorful sundress or a pair of denim shorts (Our little beauty is all about the shorts and t-shirts this summer. If I try to pull out a dress from her closet, she says, “Not a DRE…ESS!”).

——————————————————————————————————-

Because UMI thinks my readers are pretty fabulous (yes, YOU!, over there in your yoga pants and ponytail!), they’ll be giving one of you a pair of shoes from their brand new PRIMERO line from their Autumn Winter 2009 collection, which will be debuting in a few short weeks.

Yep. That’s right. Your 9-month to 2-year-old boy or girl could be walking all about town in a not-yet-available-to-the-public pair of shoesies.

If you have a boy, you’ll receive the Ollie:

ollie umi shoes

If you have a girl, you’ll receive the Lissy:

lissy umi shoes

    My boys are wearing sandal and crocs this summer. While I can’t stand the crocs, my oldest found some with Spiderman on them and wears them EVERYWHERE! My baby girl is still too young for shoes, but not for long.

    Umi shoes are so well made. I love them! My neighbor put her daughter’s through the wash and they still looked fantastic.

    my little one just wears socks right now since she’s not walking yet.

    Beautiful shoes! My little girl (the 2 year old) wears her crocs most days right now in the summer. My baby isn’t really wearing shoes yet.

  5. Michelle H. says

    July 13, 2009 at 6:55 pm

    My son is wearing little white sneakers with blue stripes.

    My son and his cousin (my niece) are three weeks apart in age and are both learning to walk right. It is sooooo much fun to watch and I’ve really enjoyed cheering him on. The little Ollies would look wonderful on my little monkey!

    July 13, 2009 at 10:11 am

    haha! I do have on yoga pants and a pony tail! :) My almost 2 yr old son’s faves (well… MY faves)are brown sandals. He has a dark pair of Stride Rites and a light pair of pedipeds. Between those, we are set with any outfit! We do have a pair of tennis shoes for appropriate times as well.

    These are adorable shoes… I looked around and I really like the Geneva style for little girls in the brown.

    July 12, 2009 at 10:29 pm

    my girls both love their pink geoxes (sp?), they love those shoes!!

  10. Letessha says

    July 12, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    My baby has no shoes yet, besides it is so hot lately that she will wear some probably in the fall. I am liking the Lissy shoes though, they are casual and cute!

  11. Sarah C says

    July 12, 2009 at 8:15 pm

    My 6 month old was wearing Robeez crib shoes, but she outgrew them so now she’s just wearing babylegs pulled down to her toes LOL!

  12. Ruth says

    July 12, 2009 at 7:17 pm

    I’m ashamed to say I caved and bought my daughter some horrible hot pink princess shoes from target. I would LOVE to replace them with something cute and good for her feet. I really like the Selenia shoe.

    July 12, 2009 at 6:31 pm

    My daughter has been wearing her favorite pair of bright pink Crocs (the flip flop kind with the back strap) but they’re almost too small for her – these would be a perfect replacement to have!

  14. Julie says

    July 12, 2009 at 6:29 pm

    i would pick the girl’s shoes Lissy-i don’t have grandchildren but my best friend has a granddaughter that I think of as my own.She wears sandals mostly

  15. Lindsey@A Kindred Spirit's Thoughts says

    July 12, 2009 at 6:17 pm

    Oh my word, those Lissy shoes are adorable! We have some See Kai Run shoes right now but they’re not real summery – I LOVE the Lissy shoes and would be thrilled to win! :-)

    By the way, how did you know I was wearing yoga pants and a ponytail? That’s a little creepy, you know, LOL.

    Thanks for the great giveaway!

    I would love to win the shoes for our little man. These sure are cute shoes! Love them!

    July 12, 2009 at 5:13 pm

    my little son goes barefoot these days. sometimes socks but usually no shoes, still too little but very soon he’ll need. Those Ollies look great and would be awesome to own shoes before the public even has a chance to buy them!

  18. Andrea B says

    July 12, 2009 at 3:47 pm

    My daughter wears white patent sandals, and yellow Pediped casual shoes. That just about covers her summer wardrobe. Otherwise, she wears those socks that look like Mary Janes or ballet shoes.

  19. Beverly M says

    July 12, 2009 at 3:36 pm

    my little girl loves to play dress up , she would love to add to her collection

    My princess is all about sandals during the summer. I wish I could get her to wear shorts and a t! She is super prissy and HAS to wear a dress all the time!!!!

  21. Erin says

    July 12, 2009 at 3:10 pm

    I love the color of the Lissy shoes. My little ones insist on being barefoot during the summer. However, come fall they would love to have a cute pair of Umi shoes to wear.

  22. Marianna says

    July 12, 2009 at 1:27 pm

    July 12, 2009 at 10:30 am

  29. Crystal F says

    July 11, 2009 at 10:51 pm

    My daughter is wearing her sandals. She won’t wear flip flops because she says they hurt her toe. lol She’s such a tender foot. Thank you!!

  30. Colleen says

    July 11, 2009 at 8:19 pm

    My 2 year old is wearing lace-up blue Keds. Perfect for running and playing.

  33. Paula H says

    July 11, 2009 at 12:26 pm

    My son’s favorite shoes are a pair of sandals that squeak when he walks and a pair of Croc style camo Sketchers. He also has a pair of red cowboy boots that he loves. He likes to wear them to church. :)

    My niece is wearing the Pediped and Stride Rite shoes.

  35. Erin says

    July 10, 2009 at 5:23 pm

    My son is wearing a great pair of Stride Rites. My daughter mainly wears her Crocs. She’s been quite a challenge in the shoe department lately. She screams in “pain” neaely any time I put her shoes on. She snuck outside today bare foot & discovered that stepping on a bee is even more painful!

  36. Mary says

    July 10, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    The flutter sandals are just precious! They make so many cute shoes for little girls.

  38. Sara says

    July 10, 2009 at 3:31 pm

    My toddler has been wearing out shoe after shoe before she even grows out of it, she is a tough one! Right now she is in a pair of pink mary janes from Target, and it may be a tie with growing out and wearing out this time!

  39. Michelle says

    July 10, 2009 at 11:28 am

    My daughter wears a few different shoes, she has a pair of Vincent shoes, a pair of Stride Rites and some sneakers. All cute, but those Umi shoes are adorable! My friend has a pair for her daughter and I love them.

  40. Rhonda Clemens says

    July 10, 2009 at 10:17 am

    We would like the “Lissy: Rose/Fucshia”, these are so adorable. I was looking at the site & the fact that Umi shoes are flexible, supportive, built to fit, and go the distance, really gets my support!
    Thanks for the great giveaway :)

    What great shoes. I would love to win the Ollie shoes for my little guy. He is currently wearing a pair of Robeez with flames on the sides. Thanks for the giveaway.

    July 10, 2009 at 3:06 am

    Those are DARLING. I’m not entering, I don’t think they come big enough for my kids. But I just had to say how cute they are!

  44. Spoodles says

    July 9, 2009 at 6:42 pm

    Heh. My littlest isn’t even wearing shoes. It’s too hot, and she’d just chew on them anyway. In fact, I have the cutest little baby sandals I gave her just to chew on. She’d grow into these adorable little shoesies, though!

  45. alison says

    July 9, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    My little nugget loves her “fwip fwops”, too. Her favorite thing is when Mama, daddy, bubba and her all wear their “fwip fwops” at the same time – not usually a problem since we live at the beach!

  46. Anna says

    July 8, 2009 at 10:11 pm

  47. jjean says

    At 11 months and not yet walking, DS isn’t really wearing shoes at this point. We also live in TX (heat index is 105-110 today,) so its really too hot for shoes right now. I have some adorable pedoodles that i am waiting for him to grow into though. Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com

  63. Annie says

    July 8, 2009 at 9:03 am

    I have a one year old and we love to wear dresses everyday! Now that she is non-stop walking she loves the dresses :)

    She has just now gotten into loving shoes!! She will go find them and bring them to me to put on and will just walk around looking at them, then bring me another pair and repeat :) She loves shoes. It was her first word.

  64. Chelise says

    July 8, 2009 at 8:49 am

    I have never heard of Umi shoes before. I love their selection for babies and girls!

  65. Kim says

    July 8, 2009 at 8:07 am

    my LO just started to walk so he’s not wearing shoes that often… too restricting! but we’ll need some soooooon!

  66. Aimee says

    July 8, 2009 at 7:35 am

    I wish they had these in adult sizes. I would totally buy the pink shoes!!! My daughter would love them.

  67. Carol G says

    July 8, 2009 at 6:10 am

    Right now my grandson is usually not wearing any shoes. That is OK, since he is not even crawling yet! If I win, these would have to be waiting for him to grow into them, but that’s OK.

  68. Lo says

    July 8, 2009 at 5:49 am

    My son’s first pair of walking shoes were Umi and we loved them. Thanks for the opportunity!

  69. Jenna says

    July 7, 2009 at 11:46 pm

    I cannot get my 2-year-old out of her sparkly pink dress shoes (think Dorothy’s ruby red slippers, only pink). She wants to wear them eeeeverywhere. I need another pair of shoes to woo her out of the pink sparklies! ;)

  70. Nad says

    July 7, 2009 at 8:32 pm

    My little girl is loving her pink Firefly Polliwalks this summer. Pink is her new favorite color (but no surprise here cuz she’s a girly girl), so the Lissy would be a hit for sure!

  71. sunshine moreno says

    July 7, 2009 at 7:37 pm

    my niece is just learning to walk and just her being barefoot scares me, plus im expecting a little boy and to have a cute pair of FUNCTIONAL shoes for him when he is ready to walk would be great during the summer and warmer months

  72. Kristen says

    July 7, 2009 at 7:02 pm

    Cute shoes! I’ve never heard of UMI so thanks for the heads up! My little guy is wearing Robeez. He owns 2 pairs and we love them.

  73. Roxanne says

    July 7, 2009 at 4:54 pm

    She is pretty much barefoot, but starting to stand up and walk, so I’ve been keeping an eye out for sandals that are good for her feet

  74. Susan C says

    My daughter who is 2 1/2 wears her “Ruby Slippers” EVERY day! I have been trying to get her into another pair of shoes but nope, no luck! Maybe these cute shoes would change her mind!

  76. Michelle Bardo says

    July 7, 2009 at 2:48 pm

    I have to pick the Lissy: Rose/Fucshi because I have a girl but I think the boys shoes are cuter. I usually think that girls items are cuter but this is an exception.

  77. Jill W says

    July 7, 2009 at 2:41 pm

    Those are adorable-my daughter luckily doesn’t say no dresses yet…which is good, because grandma bought her a ton, and made some more! She wears her white sandals…if she will wear shoes at all, during the summer. thanks!

  78. Erin S. says

    July 7, 2009 at 2:18 pm

    those are ADORABLE!!! wow….my two year old LOVES her imitation crocs she got for her birthday. i’ve been trying to encourage her sandles for the summer. i’d love for her to have a cute pair of supportive winter indoor shoes. hmmm….

  79. Tobster says

    July 7, 2009 at 2:06 pm

    My baby girl isn’t in shoes yet. It’s either socks or barefoot, (and if it’s socks they’re wet because she’s been sucking on them!) But I know she’ll be in shoes before I can blink!

    July 7, 2009 at 10:33 am

    Those are some cute shoes Stephanie i like those and my little girl would like them too they seem comfortamble. So don’t wear flip flops everyday just sometimes.

  84. Jennifer C. says

    July 7, 2009 at 9:10 am

    Umi makes really great quality styles! They tend to fit a little more narrow which is great for us! The Girls styles are so cute!

    July 7, 2009 at 8:19 am

    I haven’t put shoes on my boy yet! He wears socks that look like tennis shoes or socks with Mickey Mouse. Sadly, he’s moving into the 3 month size socks now and his sweet itty bitty socks are going into the box. I would love to have these for him to wear when the weather is cooler and his feet are bigger! They’re so cute!!

  87. Marissa says

    July 7, 2009 at 8:17 am

    These are super cute! I’m obsessed with shoes, especially for my son. He desperately needs a new pair too, with all the active energy he has.

    My youngest daughter, Vivien, has been wearing her Robeez Crocodile shoes, but they are getting too small. So I am entering for the girl’s pair.

    My 9 month old hasn’t worn shoes yet, but walking is just around the corner.
    These would be great.

  91. Nikki Davis says

    July 7, 2009 at 5:05 am

    It is the time for “flippy flops”. I can relate, I have two daughters and both have gone through the same thing. I feel it is more of an independence situation for us. If my 6 year old goes to pick out her own clothes, she does at times come out in a dress?

    Thank you for the entry,

  92. Carol says

    She has a pair of Lowena See Kai Run shoes (pink) that are precious, and gold sandals. Size 6!

    UMI is great. I wish I had an excuse to pick up a pair of their boots, but we are surrounded by too much sunshine in SoCal!

  94. Michelle says

    July 6, 2009 at 10:19 pm

    Those are really cute! My little one has a pair of Smaller shoes from See Kai Run, which are great.

  95. Keyomi says

    July 6, 2009 at 9:43 pm

    UMI are gr8 for girls and boys alike. really like the color and style. cant wait to win. i want to gift them to my niece since i dont have kids yet! :)

    Oh how fun! I love UMI shoes, and it’s so nice to see they will fit my 2yr old’s big ol feet :) Thanks for this!

  97. Madeline says

    July 6, 2009 at 8:59 pm

    My little guy goes through shoe obsessions. First he would only wear his bear shoes. He wore them with everything until his toes were about to pop out of them. Then I convinced him to wear a pair of slightly larger shoes with a monkey face on them. He insisted the monkeys were bears and that they say “Grrr”. Now we’ve moved on to an awful pair of shoes that are two sizes too big, but I can’t convince him to wear anything else. Oh. my.

  98. Deborah says

    July 6, 2009 at 8:42 pm

    Despite having tennis shoes, sandals and flip flops of his own… my two-year-old son preferes to wear my pink flip flops when running outside to play.

  99. Dolly says

    July 6, 2009 at 8:35 pm

    How fun! I LOVE children’s shoes. My son is tromping all over creation in his sandals. However, sometimes he tries to slip on my Crocs or his Daddy’s sneakers and plod through our home in them. My son adores shoes. He takes them off the shoe shelf, examines them, plays with them, and then very carefully returns them from where he found them. He’d look adorable in the Ollies this fall.

    July 6, 2009 at 8:28 pm

    How did YOU know I was wearing yoga pants and a ponytail?!
    Yoga pants are about all that’s really comfortable these days. This ever-expanding belly shows no mercy!
    Princess will wear any shoes she sees. Seriously. Her favorites lately are my flip flops or my husband’s. She has this adorable pair of white Arizona sandals though that she picks a lot (if our shoes aren’t available!).
    So, when you say 9 months to 2 years, does that go by size? Because Princess will be 2 in 6 days… but she’s the size of an average 1-year-old! :) If she still surpasses the age limit, I have another little girl coming in October, and she’ll be 9 months-2 years eventually, does that count? :)

    My baby is wearing Johnny Trumpette sock/shoes and he is totally adorable doing so!

    My oldest is still in his tennis shoes, and my middle son is wearing these boot type shoes.

    My inlaws got them all sandals and for whatever reason they very much dislike them!

    My little girl got a lot of wear out of her Robeez. Now she has some Circo shoes (from Target) that look like Crocs. We just bought her a pair of Bobux that look like Mary Janes, super cute!

    These are really cute! My boys are wearing their non-brand name “crocs” this summer and I’m loving it because they can pretty much put them on and off themselves. My youngest would look good in those Ollie’s though!

    I am, in fact, wearing a ponytail. Not yoga pants today, though! Anyway, my tiny one would love a new pair of shoes that fit well. She currently has one. (One pair, not one shoe…) These look sturdy and cute, and I’ll take ’em!

    I hope you still get to put dresses on your little one! My four year old is still wearing dresses. Even though we live on a farm and she can’t help do chores in them she will come into the house and put one on as soon as chores are done. She loves the really fancy ones and will wear them when there is no occiaion. Her favorie shoes are the flip flops I got her for a dollar at Wal Mart last fall.

    Gosh, my little guy is just getting used to his (clearance sale) Nike sandals. He trips over the end of the sandal all the time…it’s actually quite funny to watch…and I certainly can’t see him in flip flops any time soon. Maybe it’s a girl thing…they develop more quickly right? Other than that he has Carters for more social occasions. Those Ollie shoes look so ADORABLE!

    My little one usually is in Robeez or something similar to them or he’s just barefoot ~ that’s usually how he likes it though!

    My nephew is wearing his little Target sandals I bought her at 75 % off last year for Christmas. I always get them in bigger sizes when they are marked down and save them until they fit. He would look great in those shoes!

    My 2 kiddies are living in their Crocs lately – big brother has the blue Caymans and little sister has the pink mary janes. Our newest addition is sporting just her tiny toes! :)

    My baby is not quite six months, so he’s all about bare chubby feet these days. My 2-year-old has two favorite pairs of shoes: glittery fuschia flip-flops that she calls her “spicy shoes” and some pale pink satin ballet flats that she wears to church.

    Well my daughter had a range of shoes she wears – mostly flip flops this summer! My son has huge feet and it’s always been a challenge finding him shoes – mostly just Stride Rite XXW shoes. He’s been wearing flip flops and crocs a lot this summer as well. I would love to win these!

  114. Bess says

    July 6, 2009 at 12:09 pm

    Oh, fun! My soon-to-be one year old son would look so cute in those!!! We are trying to get him to wear shoes here and there, but we don’t have anything that fits really well…these would be great!

    I hate to admit it but both kids are wearing Crocs… they’re just so easy to wash and go with. I love Umis but sadly Jasper’s feet are already bigger than size 22 so I think Primeros won’t work for him. And he still has a couple of weeks to go before his 2nd birthday… I think I am raising a Bigfoot!

    Way cool shoes! My little boy girl wears her flip flops but also loves her hello kitty sandals. She is so picky. It is hard to find shoes that she will where!

    My kiddos are going barefoot as much as possible these days! But, when forced into shoes, sandals are definitley the shoe of choice. Umi looks like it has some really cute and original designs.

    My little one year old is just learning to walk. She has been living in robeez sine she was born pretty much. It would be nice to get her some real big girl walking shoes for the fall since I am sure she will be running up a storm by then!

    Lily has a really cute red pair of Robeez but they are too big for her. She mostly wears socks.

    The shoes you’re giving away are so cute.

    I love putting dresses on my daughter. Not because they’re cute, but because they’re easy! I don’t look forward to when my daughter won’t wear them.

    My daughter is in love with her pink Wizard of Oz Dorothy shoes. She will wear them with any color. They sparkle and shine. She’s all about entertainment these days and being the center of it! She and I would love some new shoes and these look so cute! Thanks for the giveaways! Crossing my fingers and toes!

    Our big boy is always in crocs or flip flops with the strap on the back these days. The little guy is currently only wearing robeez sandals. I would love to have a pair of the Ollie shoes for when he starts walking.

    Umi shoe styles are fabulous for girls and boys!
    The girls’ sandals are really cute! My children have been wearing tennis shoes and sandals.
    Many thanks, Cindi

    My little girl really does wear her flip flops every day. Cheap little ones and I can’t get her out of them! She definitely has her phases for shoes and will wear the same ones for months on end…

    Super cute, Stephanie. I got away with putting my daughter in dresses until she was about four. Then she was done with them. She’s girlie-girlie, but the days of frilly, cute sundresses are gone. So sad. :)
