Stompeez Begins Christmas Stampede Early

Now under new management, maker of soft, animated character slippers steps up production efforts to meet this year’s holiday demand

Springville, Utah (PRWEB) October 10, 2012

Stompeez™ animated slippers skyrocketed in popularity last year during the holidays, thanks to the soft, playful characters kids wear on their feet for stomping fun. And while popularity is a good thing, it also overwhelmed the brand, which at that time was new. Now under new management, Stompeez has stepped up its production and distribution efforts to ensure it will be able to meet this year’s holiday demand with ease. The company works hard to create, promote and sell products that children and parents will love.

Changes have been made throughout the company and its processes to ensure customer satisfaction and on-time order fulfillment. Stompeez has also made physical improvements to the brand, with quality upgrades to ensure that each fluffy slipper is made with durable stitching and superior material.

As a way to further build consumer confidence, a new 60-day money-back guarantee backs up the quality and value of each pair sold. To learn more about the new and improved Stompeez, read “Stompeez Slippers Makes a Comeback” in the Carlsbad Patch.

Stompeez Theme Song & Commercial Rev Up Consumer Excitement

One factor behind the Stompeez popularity explosion has been its award-winning infomercial, created by Infomercials, Inc. The video showcases the animated slippers and the engaging playtime experience they provide.

“We’ve worked hard to maintain our reputation of promoting exceptional products and we are proud of our collaboration with Stompeez,” said Gary Sandberg, DRTV Campaign Management Director at Infomercials, Inc. “Stompeez is dedicated to meeting consumer demand by providing durable slippers, excellent customer service and on-time delivery.”

What we thought: My son was so exited to pick out his very own pair of Stompeez. He, of course, has seen the commercial on TV and has already asked for these several times. They come in 8 different styles: All Blue Puppy, Unusual Unicorn, Growlin' Dragon, Perky Puppy, Be-Bop Bunny, Playful Puppy, Peek-a-Boo Kitty, and Sir One-Eyed Monster. And they all are made in Small, Medium and Large. The small will fit most children under 5 years old (size 5-11). The medium is size 11.5-4 and large is 5-9. There are varieties that both boys and girls will enjoy.

Zachariah chose the All Blue Puppy slippers. He wears a size 1 shoe, and we got them in medium. They fit very nicely with some room to grow too. He really likes the Stompeez. It's cute to watch him walk through the house with the little puppy ears flopping up and down while he walks.

Holiday Gift Ideas: Kids of all ages will adore these under the tree this year. Stompeez are a fun, practical gift. We often get our son slippers for Christmas, so he can use them all winter. And by the next year he's outgrown those. I think these will last a few years too. And your kids will be excited to open this gift!

Where to buy: You can find Stompeez on their website- http://www.stompeezclub.com. They are also available in stores and online.

How to connect: Learn more about Stompeez on their website. They are also on Facebook and Twitter.

Grandoe Smartdogs Uplift Women's Thong Slipper

The product:
Smartdogs Comfort Slippers by Grandoe introduces the Synergy line of antibacterial slippers for Summer 2012. Synergy comfort footwear is inspired by a holistic approach to living. The unique footwear combines flexibility and support while utilize the chakra channels for energy that flows within the body.

Uplift Women's Thong Slipper is colorful and stylish with neo mesh to keep feet cool and comfortable while the antibacterial properties keep them clean. The exclusive patented four zone honeycomb foot bed is designed to absorb shock as you walk. The gel padded heel gives you extra comfort indoor or out. The Uplift Thong comes in four colors with coordinating chakras such as strength red, love pink, compassion green and creativity blue. They retail at department and specialty stores for $45 and are available in women's size 6-10.

Both useful and stylish, these versatile footwear styles, can be worn year-round.

About the Grandoe Corporation:
From modest beginnings as a leather glove manufacturer more than 100 years ago to its expansion into the footwear business, Grandoe has earned a well-respected reputation as a leading producer of innovative and high quality products that enhance people's comfort. Now under the ownership and direction of the fourth and fifth generations of its founding family, Grandoe boasts numerous patented and patent pending comfort technologies in its footwear and glove businesses. It's well known brands include Smartdogs and Hush Puppies in slippers and Grandoe, Cire by Grandoe, and Stick It in gloves and accessories.

What I thought: I've been wearing these slippers for a while now. I get so many compliments when other people see them. They are small and easily fit in a suitcase for overnight stays at hotels or relatives. I got stopped in an elevator once, because two women were admiring my slippers on the way to breakfast. Too funny! That tells you how cute they really are.

These shoes are really comfortable too. I like that I have a nice, soft slipper to walk on at home without all the warmth that most slippers have. They are great to use in the summer especially, or even the rest of the year when slippers make your feet too hot.

Although my mom said she could wear these outdoors, I would not. The only reason is I don't think they have enough padding/support on the bottom to wear outside. I keep mine as house slippers. But they are great ones that I highly recommend. These are one of the best new products I've had in a while! And they'd be a great Christmas gift for that special lady in your life.

Where to buy: You can find these in various stores and online.

More Great Kushyfoot Products

I have written about Kushyfoot before. Their fun, functional products for women's feet are great. They think of the little things that keep us comfortable while we are wearing our fashionable shoes. And now they have a few new things that are added to the line. Here are some highlights of those.

KUSHYFOOT FLATS-TO-GO (TM): Light-weight, affordable, purse-packable & elegant relief for weary feet--Great for travel, daily wear or back up emergency relief from heals!

New selection includes, snake print and cream perfed

At some time in her week, most females feel the need for a truly comforable and stylish change-out from the physical rigors of high heels and other uncomfortable fashion footwear. Now, with the introduction of Kushyfoot's ultra compact fashionable ballet flats, Flats-to-go, she has an affordable comfort choice that forces her to make no functional or aesthetic compromises.

Soft, flexible faux leather Flats-to-go are an instant and elegant solution to a perennial need for the relief of sore heels, blisters and scrunched up toes. With a recommended retail of $9.99, they feature an elastic back for a better fit, and like all Kushyfoot products, a unique, non-skid 3-dimensional wavy sole that cushions and massages the foot as the wearer walks--perfect for indoors and smooth outdoor surfaces. Flats-to-go are always there when they're needed, because they slip neatly and easliy into their owner's purse, folded (no ugly bulges and lost shape from rolling!) into a cute clean plastic carrier with its own little handles. Flats-to-go (style #3493) arrived at stores in black, gold and silver this past year (Duane Reade and kushyfoot.com initially).

THE NEW STYLES AND COLOR/PATTERNWAYS are hitting stores this Spring/Summer 2011--CREAMY PERFED and SNAKE PRINT. BOTH ARE CONTEMPORARY AND FRESH FOR THE NEW SEASON. Sizes run 5/6, 7/8 and 9/10.
"I can't think of a woman I know who wouldn't love to have a pair of feather-light Flats-to-go tucked away in her purse ready and waiting for whenever she needs them," says Mitch Brown, Kushyfoot's president. "This product extends the role of Kushyfoot products and once again reinforces our leading position in the market."

Kushyfoot legwear products are made by Doris International, one of North America's finest hosiery manufacturers. Available in approximately 15,000 doors around the nation and in more than 30 foot comfort based styles, they deliver unheard-or comfort and high-end quality at surprisingly reasonable prices. In addition to Flats-to-go, the collection includes tights, almost invisible foot covers, toe covers, trouser socks, mitten socks, yoga socks, toe socks and athletic varieties--many with reflexology inspired soles that work with every different type of shoe silhouette. Shoe solution cushions with the same benefits, as well as flip slops, have recently extended the brand's offerings. All of these items are readily available nationwide and online at www.kushyfoot.com. Prices range from $3.99-$9.99.

FOR EVERY SEASON AND ALMOST ANY REASON--MICROFIBER COOLMAX(R) CREW SOCKS FROM KUSHYFOOT WORK WITH MOST FOOTWEAR AND ACCENT AN ARRAY OF CLOTHING OPTIONS

Not sure what to wear with flats when barefoot is just not a comfort or style option? Need a thin sock to wear with a pump of Gladiator silhouette? Desire something between your short boots and delicate skin? The ideal solution has been designed by Kushyfoot, the comfort fashion legwear specialists who have brought you more than 30 smart solution-legwear items.

"Crew length socks are all over the runways and fashion magazines and make a real difference in enhancing the comfort with any shoe or short boot" says Mitch Brown, Kushyfoot's president, "Our newly designed style 3492 is a simple sock that can play a big part in most wardrobes. It looks great with a skirt worn with flats or a fashion shoe. It is comfortable under pants with any shoe and it creates a comfort barrier between boots and skin. We find that once a consumer tries it, they come back for several more pair. Additionally, besides its lightweight Microfiber material and special Coolmax fiber that wicks moisture, it features a comfort roll-top band for a non-binding top that stays in place. Like many of our Kushyfoot styles, it offers EXCLUSIVE signature padded reflexology- inspired comfort sole which is a great bonus. It massages one's feet to relieve tension and fatigue. AND BEST OF ALL, IT IS MADE IN NORTH AMERICA."

With a suggested retail price of $3.99 per pair (OR 3 for $11.97 on Kushyfoot.com), this style is available in Black or Cream and a MUST HAVE for all seasons in both colors. There is no sizing to worry about because it is one size which fits shoe sizes 5 to 10. Its fiber content is 92% Nylon, 8% Elastane. In addition to the Microfiber Crew's styling versatility, its Lycra(R) element provides elasticity that is form-fitting without being restrictive and Coolmax(R) which provides moisture management to keep feet dry and fresh.

LACE FOOT COVERS--FASHION AND SHOE COMFORT MERGE WITH KUSHYFOOT'S BESTSELLING PRODUCT: IVORY AND PINK JOIN THE MIX THAT ALREADY INCLUDES NUDE, BLACK AND WHITE

Since its launch in 2003, Kushyfoot has seen a meteoric rise in sales based on the top-brand quality, value pricing and superlative comfort of its reflexology-inspired foot-massaging legwear. The line is built around a technologically advanced 3-dimensional wavy sole that massages and protects the feet as the wearer walks, leaving them pleasantly relaxed at the end of even the longest day. The legwear is manufactured using a blend of soft quick-drying microfiber nylon (combed cotton in the athletic styles) and Elastane for maximum support. The collection of distinctively, cheery, chic-packaged products are available at retail prices between $3.99 and $9.99 in an ever-increasing number of stores nationwide with approximately 30 distinct products that discreetly pamper feet in even the most fashionable footwear.

One of the season's most noteworthy is the regular-cut foot cover featuring a pretty lacey fabric intended to show like sexy foot lingerie rather than lie concealed. Embellished foot covers are expected to be a strong trend and the must-have talked about accessory of the season. The suggested retail is $3.99 per pair and at that price consumers will likely purchase all colorways: the original black, white and nude plus new shade of ivory and pink. That way they will have a variety of options to mix and match with their shoes.

"At Kushyfoot we are persistently working to stay aligned with footwear fashion so that we present a Kushyfoot product to wear with every shoe type," noted company president Mitch Brown. "We are constantly creating legwear solutions so that every woman can enjoy Kushyfoot comfort. All of our new products are conceived with this in mind and I'm positive they will meet the same eager response that has greeted our existing products."

NEW KUSHYFOOT SUPER ULTRA LOW CUT SOCK OFFERS STAY-PUT COMFORT TO FEET IN SLEEKEST SHOES

"Some of our customers told us," said Mitch Brown, president of innovative legwear manufacturer and marketer, Kushyfoot, "that because of the particular shape of their feet, regular low cut socks sometimes slipped off, leaving them uncovered and potentially blistered. What they needed, they said, for their particular feet was a virtually invisible low cut sock that would stay on through thick and thing and still provide the kind of comfort that they had come to expect from Kushyfoot. So we set to work and now we can present the solution - our sleekest, dressiest, most stable foot cover yet, the Super Ultra Low Cut style 3478."

Kushyfoot has built its reputation and commercial success on delivering true, advanced foot cover innovation for different wearers and varied circumstance, in small, affordable and attractive packages. The new Super Ultra Low Cut sock is no exception. It represents a superb extension of an already remarkable line of products. With a special sewn-in pad within the heel area that makes absolutely sure it will never shift or fall off and a luxurious padded sole, it is always there to deliver the total comfort that Kushyfoot wearers have come to expect and demand - even when they are wearing styles like ballet flats or shoes with cut out vamps. Featuring tremendous stretch and recovery range, it will fit a small, petite foot, as well as a larger fit, so one size truly does fit all.

With the addition of the Super Ultra Low Cut to the Kushyfoot line, every woman now has the foot cover choice she needs for every shoe she owns and every situation. Whatever she wants to wear--low cut, full cut, sandals, heels or flats--and whatever impression she wants to make, there's now an attractively-price Kushyfoot product available that's perfect for both comfort and looks. "A woman's particular circumstances might call for our lace foot cover to seductively beckon the onlooker," says Brown, "or for one of our regular or original ultra low foot covers to provide discreet, invisible support and all-day comfort. Just like with undergarments where a woman needs different shapes, colors and sizes to flatter and work with different clothing, there's a different Kushyfoot sock or foot cover to meet virtually any imaginable need."

In stores, this spring-summer-just in time to be placed invisibly inside the latest, sleekest, most minimal new shoes for the warm months of the year--the Kushyfoot super ultra low cut sock will be available at a retail price of $7.00 for a 2-pair pack, in nude, black and assorted pack with one pair in black and the other in nude.




I have tried a few of the Kushyfoot products. I have large feet, women's size 10, and sometimes products like this are hard to get to fit me. But I have been pretty successful with Kushyfoot. The only one that has caused issue with my big feet is the Flats-to-go. I really like them, but the elastic in back digs into my heal. I honestly think it's just a bit too small for my big feet.

My favorite Kushyfoot product is the Super Ultra Low Cut sock. It is perfect for my high heels that are low cut. They give a little extra cushion and comfort for my foot. I can wear my shoes longer with these in them. They make wearing high heels a little easier.

Kidorable Review + {Giveaway – Ends 6/5} (CLOSED)

I’m sure by now you’ve seen Kidorable at some point. If not, where have you been? Kidorable has wonderful, creative, fun children’s products. They carry themed raincoats, umbrellas, boots, backpacks, and more. And they are your traditional raingear, they are made with children in mind.

You can go to Kidorable and see everything they have. I love that their products are not only cute and imaginative for kids, but they also have those little touches that make things unique. The frog umbrella has eyes on top. The ballerina raincoat has a skirt at the bottom. But these products are still functional as is and very well made.


 When you are shopping with Kidorable, you can shop by style, product line, and even for baby. The baby-sized products are terribly cute! I could go on and on about their cute lines of product, but I’ll let you go check out their website for yourself at http://www.kidorable.com.


For my son, I chose the Pirate Collection. (Believe my it wasn’t an easy choice.) We received the Pirate Backpack and Pirate Rain Boots. Zachariah was thrilled when he first saw the boots and backpack. He ran around the house with them the rest of the day…pretending to be a pirate of course. The quality of the items we received is excellent. When I buy things for my child I want to get something that will last and hold up over repeated use. The Kidorable items definitely live up to that!

The Pirate boots are cute and really useful. We’ve had a very wet spring, so Zachariah has gotten plenty of chances to wear his boots. They are tall, so they keep his feet nice and dry inside…even when he’s jumping in puddles. The Pirate backpack is just the right little bag for taking a few things on the go. We can put a few books and snacks into his bag for a day trip. Or take it somewhere he will need a little entertainment. He can take his bag and sit quietly with plenty to do.

Right now Kidorable is running a special on backpacks. There are many varieties for girls and boys. You can use the coupon SUMMER33 at the checkout from now through May 31st to get 20% off any backpack.

Pediped Shoes Review

It is so hard to get cute, stylish children’s shoes that are everything I want. Pediped has shoes that are made specifically for children’s little feet. They carry three lines of shoes for infants, toddlers, and children. Each line has unique features for your young child’s age and stage in life.

First Steps Originals are made specifically for infants and children learning to walk. They are made to mimic walking barefoot while protecting your little ones feet and getting them used to having shoes on. You can find them in size XS(0-6 mo) – L(18-24 mo).

The Next Steps shoes are Grip ‘n’ Go. These shoes are for busy toddlers from early walking/toddling to confident walker. With this shoe you will find a soft rubber sole and rounded edges like the shape of your child’s foot. They also feature heel stability and a soft toe box for better grip. You can get the Grip ‘n’ Go shoes in sizes 4-7(9 mo-3 yrs).

And lastly the Big Step shoes are called Flex. These specific shoes are made for bigger kids who are confident walkers. They help develop a solid, natural stride with their cushioned arch support and soft, flexible soles. You can get the Flex shoes in sizes 5-13.5 (1 yr-7 yr).

We picked out a pair of Flex shoes for my 5 year old, size 11 wearing boy. All the styles are so cute. It was really hardly  picking just one, but we settled on the Adrian in Navy/Orange (pictured above). I love that they have a velcro closure that he can easily do himself (although I’m starting to think I’m doing him a disservice by not teaching him to tie his shoes).  The soles of the shoes are so flexible, I can see why they are great for young kids.

Zachariah loves the way his new shoes fit. He will flex his foot to show me how far the shoes bend. They are great! The color and style suits him, and he would wear them everywhere if I would let him. Well, he has pretty much worn them everywhere. And he got them covered in mud! (It’s been a wet, muddy spring here in Ohio.) Fortunately for us one of the best features (if there weren’t enough already) is that these Pediped shoes are washable. Hurray for moms! (Not all of the styles are washable, but there is a search you can use if you’re looking for only washable…and with a little boy I need that.) They came out of the washer squeaky clean and looking brand new.

Our experience with Pediped has been great. I love so many things about them. And they have a wonderful selection of shoes that are made right for young kids. For your children- boys and girls- you’ll find something just right for you from Pediped. You can find Pediped shoes on their website or in stores near you and online as well.



*Disclosure: Pediped sent me a pair of shoes, so I could share my opinion about them with you.*
