When I became a mom, my love for shoes turned into a love for itty bitty baby shoes. It soon became very clear that I couldn’t resist buying lots of adorable and colorful shoes. Of course, babies grow quickly and need new shoes regularly so it was important for me to find shoes that were comfortable and well-designed to last until my daughter outgrew them but also that were affordable.

That’s where Luna International comes in! It’s a Canadian company that specializes in baby footwear. It has been designing, creating, and selling its shoes for over 30 years now and is well established both in Canada and in the US.

Luna International offers a huge selection of newborn, baby and toddler shoes , from soft sole leather shoes to skid proof shoes and dressy shoes and socks. The website is very easy to navigate and you’re sure to find at least one pair of shoes (most likely many pairs) for your little one.

I was super excited to work with Luna International and they kindly sent me an amazing selection of products to review! Some shoes will only fit my daughter later one but I can’t wait for her to be able to wear them.

First of all, I received 3 pairs of soft sole leather shoes. As you might know, soft sole shoes are the best for little ones who are learning to balance and walk. I was glad to see that Luna International offers so many different styles. I received a pair that looks like ballerina slippers, one that looks like running shoes, and one pair of booties.

Both the ballerina shoes and running shoes have an elastic band to keep them in place. The booties have an elastic above the ankle. There is no ties or ribbons so I wasn’t sure if they’d stay in place well but after ‘testing’ them for weeks, I can confirm that they do stay in place even when she crawls around. Each pair has plenty of room for toes to wiggle around which is also recommended for babies who are learning to walk.

I like the details on each pair: the little flowers and embroidery on the ballerina shoes, the laces on the running shoes (which you don’t need to tie and untie), and the faux fur in the booties. By the way, the booties are wonderful to keep my daughter’s feet warm in the cold weather. Each pair is easy to slip on and off and has a durable leather sole. My daughter is able to stand up in them and doesn’t slip or slide.

I also received 2 pairs of skid proof shoes. I was most curious about these shoes. They are like a hybrid between a sock and a shoe. The upper part is thin like a sock but the sole is rubberized. The rubberized sole also acts as a toe-bumper to protect little toes.

They can be worn indoors and outdoors! They are wonderful replacements to indoors shoes for daycare for my daughter.

At the moment, they are still a little too big for my daughter so it’s difficult for her to walk with them (she is just learning to walk with support). However, it is clear so far that these shoes are totally skid proof! I find them to be a very ingenious design!

I also received 2 pairs of ‘regular’ shoes and a pair of dressy shoes. I love how each pair is totally unique. The pink pair has a more subdued monochromatic design, with a lovely criss-crossing velcro and butterflies, whereas the brown pair has bright colorful dots on it. I should also mention that each of the ‘regular’ and dressy 3shoes have a slip-resistant sole and they are ultra light.

I like how each pair has an elastic band around the back to keep them in place. The velcro also makes them easy to put on and take off so even kids can do it! The velcro seems strong and durable.

The dressy shoes are also super cute. I like how classy they look: black with a sparkling silver decoration. It can be worn with a casual or dressy outfit. They are also fasten with velcro. I cannot wait for my daughter to wear them!

Overall, I am very pleased with our shoes from Luna International. I like that they offer a great selection of different types of shoes, all at a very affordable price! Their designs are unique and durable, and it’s easy to find shoes for every occasion for newborns to 5-year-olds. They also offer a great flat rate for shipping in Canada and in the US.
