User Reviews about Robeez Mini Shoez Infant Toddler Patent Mary Jane

Purchased these in red and *loved* them. Great for the holidays and every day. We've purchased several pairs of Robeez, and these seem to run a little smaller than other Robeez. Not a big deal, just size up if you are in doubt. -- Fantastic, but run a little smaller than other Robeez

I bought these shoes for my 7 month old daughter for her Christmas dress and I love them. They fit her little foot very well with plenty of room to grow. The Velcro strap is very strong and her shoes never came off. She is 9 months old now and still wears them. They look cute with dresses or jeans. I'm very happy with this product and will probably buy it in the next size up once she outgrows this pair. -- Great shoes!!

I got these because I needed some holiday shoes for my walking 13 month old. They were great and served the purpose! -- Perfect, affordable holiday dress shoes

The sole of these shoes is made of plastic, not leather like all the other Robeez I've seen, and that makes them quite a bit stiffer than most. Also, because of the velcro-strap styling, the shoe doesn't fit the same as other Robeez and I find that my daughter can kick these off whereas normal Robeez stay put.

Still, she has gotten many compliments on these shoes, and since she only wears them when she's all dressed up the problems are pretty minor. I'm glad I got them! -- Super cute, but not as flexible as other Robeez

I'm a big fan of less is more when it comes to physical development. From what I've read, barefoot walking is very important to allow the development of proper body mechanics. Many shoe makers claim to have developed shoes based on the mechanics of the bare foot, but they inevitably beef up their shoes to the point where it is no longer close. These shoes are the baby equivalent to adult Nike Frees, or Five Finger Vibrams. My 18mo old's balance and "agility" seem to be outpacing her peers, and I think this shoe has had a lot to do with it. For example, when she first started walking, grandma and everyone else got her all kinds of shoes, from Nike's to no-brands. Even though she had already been walking fine in her Mini Shoez, when she put on the Nike's she was falling down all over the place. My thought, was that because of the thicker sole, she lost all the extra proprioception that these shoes afforded her. The mini shoez have a more gripping tread on the bottom as compared to the infant robeez. This allows good grip on any surface. I've used them outside regularly with her, alternating with stride rites for anything more than around a block, or when terrain might be a little rougher, like in a park. In daycare, they are her usual shoes, mostly because they are her favorite. Only after about 4 months did the sole start to wear, which was right when she needed a new pair! Too bad they only go up to size 5. -- Great shoes to promote proper walking, excellent quality
