I loved them and used them for both children. I did not put "hard" shoes on either child until they were almost 2 years old. Forget the "cute" factor and do what all the doctors suggest. By the way, both of my kids have amazing balance - now 6 and 3.

The pedipeds are much cuter and people say they are better. We did robeez but next time we would try the pedipeds.

I loved them. My DD wore them until she started to walk then we switched her to sneakers. Targert had a brand too, don't remember the name, but that are around $12.99 a pair. Gap also carries Robeez and they sometimes have them on sale.

These are great for babies that are not walking yet. They offer no support for walking. They are great for keeping socks on little ones tho! We got our son the target brand and we loved them.

Both of my kids had chubby little feet and the robeez cut off their circulation. I found that the pedipeds were 100% better. Have her take him to try them on and see how tight that elastic is around his feet. Pedipeds are velcro so they don't have that problem.

I love them. My son had a chubby foot too so they worked great. I never put shoes on my son until he was standing, so these were a great start. I think it is also helpful to use b/c it helps them get used to having something on their feet.
Good Luck

I have a couple pairs for my little guy, although he has since grown out of them. I got one or two pairs at Marshalls for less, and I think one pair at Stride Rite. I like them, but they are not great once they start walking. But as just a cover for feet they's nice instead of just socks.

Love them. Check Marshalls/TJ Maxx for cheaper pairs, they are a little ridiculous full-price. I've also found them very cheap on Amazon.com. I have a couple knock-offs too, but they didn't seem to fit as well (not the Babies R Us brand, not sure what these were).

Hi J.,

I love Robeez shoes. I try to wait for sales since they are a bit pricey for a baby shoe, but fit very well. My daughter has little plump feet and these shoes fit very well. She has been wearing them now for over a year with no problems. Unfortunately she will be growing out of the largest Tredz size (the outside wear shoes) very soon. I like them so much I wish they made bigger shoes for her to continue using. By the way on the website if you buy 2 pairs you get free shipping...I usually only buy two pairs for the season and they hold up very well.

Robeez are the only shoes that will stay on my four month old son. I love them. And they seem comfortable and stretchy...great for chubby feet! Got out pair as a gift.

I love the Robeez shoes! That is the only shoe that would stay on my twins. Perfect for those little feet that are flexible and can always get out of shoes. I did find some great deals on new robeez on ebay.
In my experience I don't recommend the 'imitation' robeez as they did not fit as snug--the opening was too wide and they could get them off.

Seems like I am in the majority here, as I LOVE THEM!

My son is 3 1/2 and he still wears them around the house as slippers (so nice with the non-slip suede bottoms on hard wood floors) and he wears them to gymnastics... personally, I wish they made them for adults!!

We have had many pairs of Robeez, and yes, they do fit wide and chubby feet comfortably. My son wore an extra wide shoe from Stride Rite, and they fit him quite comfortably. We also used a couple other brands, and surprisingly, the closest we found to the Robeez were the Mini Stars (I think that's what they're called) from Target. They are half the price, and really pretty comparable. The Robeez may be slightly more flexible and slightly better fitting, but the difference is marginal if price is a big factor...

And I disagree that they are only good until they start walking. I found that the flexibile and non-slip soles were great for learning to walk, climb, etc.

Tell her yes! Try them!
