Nowali Moccasins: Review and Giveaway

hypothesis The new Spring style of Nowali Moccasins will help to keep Aubrie’s feet warm and prevent slipping on our cold hardwood floors.

materials

One pair of Nowali Spring Flowers Moccasins in a size 2Y, and a toddler with cold feet who is overly excited about her new “big girl” slippers.  About Nowali, Inc.:

nowali“Nowa Li began producing traditional moccasins in Sweden over 50 years ago. The company is proud of its heritage and continues to produce these high quality moccasins in much the same way today (the stitching is still sewn by hand). A comment we frequently hear is “I remember those from when I was a kid !” Today Nowa Li brand moccasins, socks and tights are worn by kids around the world. We look forward to introducing bright new colors and fun new patterns each season.”

results

I love my home.  After Hurricane Katrina, we replaced the flooring in my den and living area with laminate flooring which we have really enjoyed.  The only problem is that since we live in a raised home, the floors get very cold during the winter and remain chilly in the Spring.  I try my best to make sure my girls wear socks or slippers at all times to keep their feet warm, but my toddler has been quite the challenge.

The problem is that she slips on the floor in socks and easily takes off all the slippers I have previously bought.  Until….enter Nowali!  This moccasin is like a sock and shoe combined in one neat little package.  It was a hit from the start!  Aubrie loved the flower design and immediately wanted to put them on.  They are very well constructed, stay on her feet and provide some traction on our slippery floors.  Aubrie will be 2 years old in March, so I ordered a size 2Y, but I probably should have gone a size or even two smaller.  That being said, even though they are too big, it didn’t seem to bother her in the least and she did not trip.  The good thing is that they will last us at least another year!

hypothesis

Nowali, Inc. has the perfect solution for kids slippers!  Not bulky at all, kids are still able to run and play while keeping the moccasins on their feet.  Nowali has four new patterns to welcome Spring!  Most moccasins range from $24.95-$28.95 and come in sizes as low as 6 months.  You can also find some adorable baby socks for infants!  And right now, Nowali is offering FREE SHIPPING on orders over $50!

Does your child need a comfortable way to keep their feet warm?  Nowali has generously offered one lucky Not-So-Blog reader one pair of moccasins from their Spring collection.

Nowali Moccasins: Review and Giveaway

hypothesis Lily will like her Nowali Moccasins and actually wear them longer than she will keep a pair of slippers on her feet.

materials One pair of Nowali Moccasins in Confetti, and one girl who claims to hate slippers. About Nowali:

“Nowa Li began producing traditional moccasins in Sweden over 50 years ago. The company is proud of its heritage and continues to produce these high quality moccasins in much the same way today (the stitching is still sewn by hand).  A comment we frequently hear is “I remember those from when I was a kid !”  Today Nowa Li brand moccasins, socks and tights are worn by kids around the world. We look forward to introducing bright new colors and fun new patterns each season.”

methods When the package from Nowali arrived, Lily was more than eager to try them on!  Thr bright colors intrigued her and she immediately proclaimed that they looked like her favorite ballet shoes!  She tried them on and danced and twirled around our laminate flooring (I even let her run in the house a little!).

results I honestly was shocked at how much Lily liked the Nowali Moccasins.  She NEVER wears slippers because she prefers socks.  But with laminate flooring and a dance-obsessed 4 year old, this almost always ends in disaster.  As a Mom, I liked the non-skid soles and the fact that the moccasins stayed on her feet while she actively played.

007

summary The Nowali Moccasins were a hit in my home!  I would definitely consider buying a pair of their no-slip socks for Lily (and myself!) or a smaller pair for my new walker, Aubrie!  The moccasin appealled to my daughter and she did keep them on much longer than a regular slipper.
