Vincent Shoes for Little Ones {Giveaway}

 about-copy
Vincent, a young boy born in Sweden was the inspiration for the Vincent Shoe line.  When Vincent was born, his uncle Thomas and partner Patrick were in search of the perfect baby gift.  They thought shoes would be a great gift, but couldn’t find any styles they liked.  Thomas and Patrick were already familiar with the fashion world, and soon they were designing Vincent shoes for little ones.  The makers of Vincent get their inspiration from global fashions and runways from around the world.  Vincent Shoes are fun, fashionable, and functional.  They are made out of high quality products, and of course…. stylish!

We love Vincent Shoes in our house.  Right away, Colton said they looked like Daddy’s shoes.  All of the shoes in the Vincent line look like miniature adult shoes and the kids think that is really cool.  The quality is unbelievable… better than many of my shoes!  Colton tried a pair of leather shoes, with a rubber sole and velcro.  As soon as you pick a pair up, you know these won’t be falling apart anytime soon.  One downside, is that most of the Vincent Shoes are expensive, with most pairs around $30-50.  Don’t let this stop you from trying out a pair.  Right now there is a sale going on with some shoes up to 75% off!

Watch a video of Colton playing in his new shoes for the first time.  Don’t laugh at me… I stumbled on my words a bit!  And I guess Vincent Shoes aren’t just stylish… they are perfect for kicking dogs! (Just kidding…. take a look!)
