Shoe Fly Shoes Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)


“Shoefly is a labour of love and the result of a lot of hard work. Our mission is simple: Offer fun, stylish, and foot friendly shoes for infants and children and provide you with superb customer service. "

Shoe Fly Shoes a great online company based in Nova Scotia, BC, Canada. This company sells amazing shoes from some of the best kids shoe companies available. Available brands include Little Soles, Riley Roos, Jack and Lily, Isabooties and Morgan & Milo, Tip Toey Joey and Nowali.

Having an online store that sells kids shoes and is Canadian is a great asset to those that love to shop from home. I regularly buy products online and most often have to order from an American shop and pay the exchange rate and sometimes Duty charges as well. This doesn’t always result in a very economical purchase. Variety, selection and price are my main reasons for shopping American online-you just can’t find as many options in the Canadian market.

Discovering Shoe Fly Shoes has been wonderful. The variety is there and the pricing is comparable to any children’s boutique in the Lower Mainland. The site is set up in a very simple format that allows you to either search for shoes by size or brand. Shipping costs are reasonable and once you reach a total purchase of $50 the shipping is free in Canada-a great deal since this usually only takes an order of two pairs of shoes. They even offer a multiples discount of 15% to those with twins or more!

I was introduced to Shoe Fly Shoes through a sponsored giveaway on another blog (My Organized Chaos). , the writer of this blog has great products that and she does reviews very often. I look to this blog not only to have the chance to win some great prizes (I’ve won twice now-thanks!) but to also learn about new companies/products available on the market. Since this blog is based in Alberta, Canada many of the items are available to Canadians and I have discovered some great products on this site.

Shoe Fly Shoes hosted a giveaway on this blog and when I won I already knew which shoes I wanted to buy. I was emailed a gift certificate number and then also mailed a paper version of the certificate. These are the shoes I had eyed for almost a year and bought for my daughter’s second birthday.


They came packaged beautifully and ready to presented as a gift! Perfect!

Communication was very great and Amanda, the owner, was very quick with responding to my inquiries and very helpful and informative in her emails. I found it very easy to deal with her and the website and easily put in my gift certificate code and purchased my items. I wanted to take advantage of the ‘free shipping’ offer and decided to order a second pair of shoes as well.


I ordered the ‘Licorice’ style in the Riley Roo’s. I did not however look at the very useful page on the site called ‘sizing help’. This page has great information on how to measure your kids feet, what the average growth rate is and how different brands fit. This would have been very helpful since I ordered these shoes a bit bigger than planned.

I am so glad that I found this Canadian online shoe store and know that I will be back shopping there again soon.

  1. My favourite pair of shoes is the Morgan & Milo Avery Navy. These shoes would go with ANYTHING in my son's wardrobe and I have an obsession with the colour orange which these shoes have just enough of. It has become my favourite colour for my boys lately.
