Robeez Tredz!

I have no clue where I first heard about Robeez but somehow our oldest son Ethan got a pair of their regular soft shoes when he was a baby (which is unbelievably almost 6 years ago!). I knew that soft sole shoes and bare feet were the best for kids learning to walk so Ethan, followed by Ben and my friend’s son all got a lot of use out of that first pair of puppy dog Robeez! I always wished that the Robeez were able to travel on more terrain though (like damp grass and the playground woodchips) so I was really happy to learn about Robeez Tredz. Of course I was even more excited when I got the chance to review a pair for Jamie! I had trouble finding a good sneaker type of shoe that I liked for her (I am just starting to realize lots of girls shoes are cut too narrow and Jamie doesn’t even have wide feet) so I chose the Robeez Tredz Sporty Z-strap white/magenta shoes (top left above) because they seemed like they would be what I was looking for. When they got here I knew I made the right choice! The Tredz have all of the original Robeez’s great qualities with the added bonus of very flexible rubber soles. I really like the elastic at the back of the ankle for a better and more comfortable fit. I ordered Jamie’s shoes just a little big but she has been wearing them anyway and is very happy with them. She is a shoe lover and likes to put them on all by herself most of the time. I’m sure she will get a lot of use out of her Tredz this Fall and Winter and like those first puppy dog shoes we will pass these ones on as well once our baby daughter I’m due with is a 2 year old too!

Be sure to check out Robeez shoes and see all of the great regular and Tredz designs they have this Fall!

*I definitely wish the Robeez Tredz were around when my boys were still toddlers because they would have LOVED the T-Rex Tredz!
