Tsukihoshi shoes are not just regular outdoor play shoes. They're Japanese manufactured shoes exclusively created for the "health and comfort of children's feet". Their shoes have even been awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance for promoting healthy foot development.

The Pink Tsukihoshi Child 05 shoes Bunny girl was sent looked like sports shoes I'd buy from the sports store. It was only after reading up about the brand that I realized I held a well researched and carefully designed product that was made to cradle my little one's feet in a comfortable space as she wore the same.

I'm still amazed that the manufacturers of her shoes have actually gone to the lengths of ensuring her shoes are quatro-functional. All Tsukihoshi shoes have

1. Balanced landing

Children's feet may tend to over-pronate (land on the arch side) when walking. As a result, children need more stability in their shoes. Tsukihoshi's solid half sock board and a solid heel counter help to provide this stability in the heel area.

2. Arch Support

Like many parts of a child's foot, the arch of a child's foot is not yet fully formed. Tsukihoshi's ''Molded Cup Insole'' is designed for children's arches while helping to neutralize foot odor

3. Light and Flexible

Children's feet can not bend and kick forward well because they are not yet fully developed. Tsukihoshi's latest innovation, a "Flex-Joint Outsole" helps to allow children's feet to bend along the line from the joint of the big toe to that of the little toe.

4. Barefoot-like Comfort

Excessive inward tilting towards the arches when walking and running is very common among children. Tsukihoshi's ''Comfortable Shoe Last'' provides space in the toe area to help keep the child's toe in an unrestricted position, allowing them to splay on contact with the ground.

The shoes are easy for Bunny girl to put on and take off especially when she wears them to preschool, thanks to the 'wide and curved velcro fastener.' (During play time she loves playing dress up with her friends. They get to wear different costume shoes and being able to get her shoes of easily helps avoid the struggle of getting them off and on.)

Two features that make my Mommy heart smile are the fact these are machine washable (high points on my Mommy list!) and that the shoes have an anti-bacterial insole. (Can you believe that??The cup insole is coated with green tea polyphenol...Wow! Wish our shoes had these!!)

Hubby loves the fact that the soles are flexible. (In his list this is a big determinant on whether the shoes get approved by him or not. Hubby says a child's shoe should have a flexible sole especially as their feet are tender and still developing. This helps in nurturing a healthy foot growth.)

I think Tsukihoshi shoes are beautifully designed and functionally superior. I honestly hope they extend their presence in more stores around us and seriously consider pricing the shoes at a more competitive rate to trigger a sales growth with the common man market base.
