I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
Kids have to wear shoes and they need to fit perfect as not to affect little growing feet. My girls are normally in flip flops to compliment our gorgeous Florida weather or else they are in shoes to go with their school uniforms during the day. The right uniform shoes are important because they need to fit great, be flexible so they are comfy for play and still look good. Badorf Shoe Company has been producing and distributing the finest children’s footwear brands since 1928. Their FootMates line originating in 1968 has developed a vast following due to its commitment to creating the finest infant and toddler shoes for kids. Specializing in basic and classic patterns FootMates are great as uniform shoes.
FootMates uses the finest leathers and materials to provide the perfect look, feel and fit for your child. Great for uniform shoes or for everyday wear, they provide the style that we parents want and the comfort that children need.
This pair here is the Liz. It offers the Custom Fit System found in their entire FootMate line. As you can see in the picture above it is a removable, dual insoles in Medium and Wide fitting. Making it a more personal fit. They are Pedorthist friendly as FootMates can accommodate customized orthotics and other Pedorthic modifications.
My daughter appreciates the roomy Toe Box so her toes can “breathe.” No smooshed piggies as toes splay naturally during walking, enhancing balance and reducing rubbing, friction, and moisture. The sole is super flexible and slip-resistant and the collar is padded for comfort.
Started in Lititz, PA, by brothers Norman and Paul Badorf. The company was owned and operated by the Badorf family for nearly 40 years until its purchase by Ura Gingerich in 1967. Forty seven years later, the family tradition has continued and the company is now operated by Ura’s son Duane Gingerich and grandsons, Justin and Brandon Gingerich. Their other shoe lines are absolutely adorable too and I have already been eyeing their cute flip flops. They have a huge selection with FootMates so you can find the perfect shoe to go with your child’s uniform. This is a seriously nice shoe that my daughter has been wearing for over a month now and they still look great.
