Either everyone in the universe now knows about Robeez and this post is old news, or my universe has changed completely in the last four years. I am guessing that a combination of the two is true. But it is also true that not everyone has discovered their booties. In my opinion the booties are their best product. I like things that are soft, fuzzy, warm and machine washable.
Robeez are cute and comfortable, and they are a great gift. As a general rule socks fall off and Robeez stay on.
They are hard to find used, so if you find used Robeez you should be very proud of yourself, and if you have to buy them new you should cut yourself some slack. They are worth the price. If you can’t afford Robeez you can probably find cheaper knock-offs some place like Target. New Robeez can be bought online, at Nordstrom’s kids shoe department, at the Vancouver Aquarium (if you happen to be there), and at many independent children’s shops.
You can google soft soled shoes online and find experts who will tell you why it is good to keep your children in these as long as possible. Mostly I agree… except when hanging out on unnatural tile or cement floors. When I am somewhere where standing and walking barefoot makes my feet and legs tired, I try to give my kids some padding on their feet too.
Also, I have met some folks with wide footed or chubby babes who find that the elastic is too tight. So keep that in mind if you have a cherubic little one.
