Gimme those booties!

I've been drooling over the Isabooties's chocolate dots since I saw them a few months ago and finally we have a pair here to play with. The combination of chocolate ultrasuade and that dotted ribbon across the front is so pretty. They are fairly simple in design, no monkeys, no doggies, no embroidery, just cute designs with simple accents which is especially nice if you want to use them for casual wear but even better if your looking to pair them with a formal outfit. I LOVE my soft soled shoes but I am always frustrated when it comes to formal wear as though I have to admit I'm a sucker for Connors puppy dog shoes, they don't look nearly as nice with "evening attire". Isabooties however look great with everything and that simple little dot ribbon really stands out just peeking out from underneath some gorgeous little baby slacks. Who am I joking it looks great even if its just with a pair of casual shorts or even a diaper.

The ribbon embellishments are not what makes Isabooties special. If you have had any past experience with soft soled shoes you'd know that typically the bottoms are made of a soft suede or smooth leather. As they are normally just for indoor use only thats not really an issue but I don't know a single mom who has stuck firmly to that indoor rule. If I am out and about with Connor and he has his soft soled shoes on and we forgot our outdoor shoes I won't deny him a good romp in the grass just because he has his soft soles on, but with that said it does come with some risks. Soft soled shoes are notoriously slippery when wet and especially those smooth leather soles do not offer much traction when it comes to outdoor surfaces, as well they were not designed for them. Though I still do not highly recommend you allow your baby to run all over the place outside in soft soled shoes (especially concrete as that destroys soles) but Isabooties soles are unique as even if they get wet they feature soles made from Touchtek. Toughtek is super durable, very grippy, flexible (just like a smooth leather bottom) and it does not get slick.. ever. Combine that with a scuff proof Ultrasuede top, and you have some pretty rockin shoes. The Ultrasuede also washes incredibly well. I always cry a little when I have to put my soft soled shoes in the washing machine as I know when they come out they will be all crinkled up and it takes a while for them to stretch back and look as good as they did when they went in. Ultrasuede is designed to be washable so you can wash and wear without any worries at all.

One more note.. since Isabooties are made of Ultrasuede and Toughtek, that means they are totally "animal free" so those of you trying to stick to a vegan lifestyle can breath a sigh of relief!
