Blue Suede Baby Booties

Lou's Shoes are for Tots With Undeniable Style

— January 30, 2011 — Life-Stages
It's clear that the footwear by New Zealand-based Lou's Shoes is for those tiny fashionistas. These handcrafted blue and white Baby Gaiters take their cue from equestrian style. The collection draws inspiration from classic styles like penny loafers and brogues. Made from high-quality leather and non-slip soles, each miniature creation will flex and stretch for growing feet.

The vintage-inspired Lou's Shoes line is perfectly adorable, from its furry boots to the crocodile booties
