springing steps
tot trends weekly Think SPRING! Dress her toes in these adorable soft-soled shoes by Robeez and help bring in spring. Robeez are doctor-recommended for the early walking stages. Soft-soled shoes are the next best thing to bare feet...and Robeez keep those toes snuggled up and secure, thanks to elasticized ankle bands. With Robeez, you can be sure that your child will outgrow them long before their days are done due to their superior ability to hold up to multiple washings; all thanks to the quality leather and lined uppers that they use to make these adorable shoes. Above all, comfort is their main selling point. The soft leather cushions and protects, flexes with each step and is breathable to keep feet cool and comfy (not to mention we love the safety component that comes with the skid-proof soles). The reasons above are why Robeez are the number one selling infant shoe...but we simply think that it is their adorable styles and wide variety that makes them so beloved. Catch their new spring styles like these adorable butterflies, sunflowers and ladybugs at Robeez.com.
