For the longest time, Lauren only had a pair of sneakers and a pair of flip flops to go with everything, from princess dresses to t-shirt and jeans. She wears those same shoes to our local wet market and to weddings in 5 stars hotels.

Why did I deprived her from having more pairs of shoes? Let me tell you why.

Firstly, it’s hard to take her shoe shopping. She is always attracted to those ghastly and not to mention, expensive Frozen themed shoes (no offence, Frozen fans!) and refuse to try on anything else.

Secondly, there are not many shops that sell shoes for baby and toddlers. Even when you manage to find the only outlet in the entire mall that sells children shoes, there are not many sizes available. It’s like, “Baby, let’s try on this pair of shoes….. Oh sorry, we can’t buy them. They don’t have it in your size!” And we all know how understanding toddlers are. Crying ensues….

Finally, I simply do not have time to visit shopping centres anymore.

Thank goodness for online shopping

Which is why I’d like to introduce you to minorsteps – an online boutique that specialises in adorable and comfortable footwear for children aged 0 to 8 years old. With price ranging from $39.95 to $89.95, they are very affordable and makes it so easy for busy mums like myself to find something for my kids.

Check out these shoes I got for Lauren and Georgia, which are perfect for Chinese New Year!

minorsteps is founded by Rosie Oliveira, an expatriate mum from Brazil who believes in curating the highest quality shoes and children’s products for busy mums like you and me who don’t have time to do the research and shopping in-store. All the shoes are anti-slip, super lightweight and very flexible.

Great selection of shoes for Chinese New Year.

If red is not your thing, these cheerful colours are equally as festive.

How cute are these shoes for boys? There are many more choices on minorsteps to choose from.
