2 more fantastic reviews!

A huge thank you to The Shopping Mama www.theshoppingmama.com and to www.5minutesformom.com for two amazing reviews.

The Shopping Mama called out many of our brands, but focused more on Native footwear and Livie and Luca. The timing was perfect because we JUST landed new colors of Native (and Livie and Luca fall is on its way). Check out the review here: http://theshoppingmama.com/2012/08/friendly-rooster-stylish-shoes-for-back-to-school-discount-code-giveaway/

5 Minutes for Mom reviewed the site and was excited about quite a few styles, but their focus was on the Neon Eaters Binary shoes. The reviewer's son looks absolutely adorable wearing them. See how cute he is:

Thanks to both of you for your kind words. We love you both!

Why Native Footwear?

Here at www.friendlyrooster.com, we love when we receive emails such as this:

"I was just on your site looking for the new Miller style your Facebook page said would be in soon.  We absolutely love the Natives (my son pretty much has a tan with spots on top of his feet from wearing them all summer) and we get so many compliments on them - I also have had two Moms telling me that they would love a pair for themselves! He wears them in and out of the pool and pretty much everywhere else. Completely waterproof and they stay on your feet, (unlike Crocs), plus they are much BETTER LOOKING!"

We get it.  Native shoes are totally rad.  That's why we carry them on our site. And it's why we've sold out more than once of these fantastic styles.  Besides the cool product they produce, their marketing is unreal.  Remember Red Fraggle??? She loves the Miller in red (as seen here).

Native shoes, the brand, is a Vancouver-based footwear label made with injected molded EVA, a material that’s so lightweight yet is virtually indestructible. Known for its fabulous fit, the secSo neret behind the brand is the EVA that molds to the shape of the wearer’s feet. The brand is about the ease and simplicity of classic designs. Chuck Taylors, Keds, boat shoes...these all are known styles that we love. And just look at this host of shoe benefits:

cool factor
water proof
washable
slip on styling for easy on/off
molds to your feet
low emission manufacturing process
zero waste injected molds
odor resistant
anti microbial
no animal bi-product (read: vegan!)
incredibly well priced
fun colors that look great with everything

New colors are hitting our site in late August through mid-September. Keep checking it back, and as the Native Footwear brand slogan says......."Keep It Lite"

Dolly shoes and celebrities

It's been a few years since Tip Toey Joey has been a force in the USA, but we're more than happy to have them back in the states and ready to sell at www.friendlyrooster.com. Response from customers has been more than positive, and the reason is understandable...the shoes are AMAZING! Here are photos of celebrities children wearing the Dolly shoes from Tip Toey Joey...
