I’ve learned more than a few things about baby gear while writing this blog, and one is that the Dutch know what they’re doing. Not only do they appreciate stylish design, but they are also super-attentive to high-quality materials and details. So I am glad to introduce you to our newest sponsor, Boumy. If you haven’t heard of them before, you’ll be hearing the company’s name a lot more in months to come. This Dutch brand, created in 1998 by mom-of-two Anouk Henderson, boasts stylish, high quality leather “easy to slip on and stay on” baby shoes. The name “Boumy”, by the way, comes from her younger son’s nickname.
Boumy quickly took off in the Netherlands where it became the pre-eminant brand of baby shoe. Ever since exhibiting at the esteemed Pitti Bimbo kids’ tradeshow in Italy, Boumy has become sought-after in other countires as well, and it is now expanding to the U.S. Anouk still designs all of the shoes herself and makes sure they stand out from other brands with their top-notch craftsmanship and highest quality 100% soft leather which doesn’t constrict or pinch little baby feet. This not only helps promote healthy foot development, but also helps the littlest walkers feel as if they are barefoot. Also, since the leather is all-natural, the shoes “breathe” and keep kids cooler in summer. There is elastic ankle fastening for pulling the shoes on quickly and easily, and they do not slip off on their own (nor do they slip on surfaces thanks to a textured finish on the soles).
Boumy shoes are made for both boys and girls, and are available in lots of colorful, fun applique designs, solid colors, or boot styles. Almost all styles are available in sizes small (0-6mos), medium (6-12mos), large (12-18mos) and extra large (18-24mos). My personal favorites are Silver Polkadots for girls and Jogging Cobalt for boys. The solid silver pair (shown below) is also a top-seller, as are the sueded sand moccasions.
As it launches in the U.S. market, Boumy is exclusively available at its website. All pairs cost $32, which is not bad at all for high-quality all-leather shoes for babies. Flat rate shipping costs $6 to the U.S. and $7 to Canada. Visit Boumy.
