freddyeddy says "Warning" about Robeez Mary Jane

freddyeddy — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:10:01 GMT

Customer service is terrible and Robeez does not stand behind it's products whatsoever. We purchased a pair of Thermal Robeez for our 12 month old son who cannot even walk yet. We recieved the order on October 23 2009 and my son wore them for the first time to day care on October 26 & 27. On the evening of October 27 we noticed a large hole in the toe of one of the shoes and the beginning of a hole in the same spot on the second shoe. We contacted customer service with the order number and all the necessary information to prove the dates listed above including order number, and delivery date in an attempt to get a replacement pair and were told by Marlene at customer service and I quote

"The "life span" of a shoe will depend on several
different contributing factors. Some of them being, but not limited to age, conditioning of the shoes and conditions under which the shoes are worn." "The photos you sent do not demonstrate a manufacturing defect. We would be unable to replace the shoes."

this2shallpass19 says "Circo Baby Crew Socks aren't the best, but get the job done." about Circo Baby/Toddler Crew Socks

this2shallpass19 — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:55:28 GMT

I went to Target recently to buy my son some more Circo Socks with Grippers that he has outgrown. They were great socks and inexpensive at around $1.50 a pair. On my way to the baby clothes aisle, I happened to pass a clearance rack which had a package of 10 pairs of Circo Crew Socks for only $3.14 instead of its regular price of $6.29 - which is still a good deal. Even though they don't have the rubber gripping that the other socks have, I couldn't pass up this bargain!

I'm not sure if they make these value packs in any other color, but the only color available when I bought them was white. Circo Crew Socks come in a variety of sizes from babies to toddlers. My son is 20 months old and wears a size 7 shoe. The package recommended we get the 2T-3T size based on his shoe size. The ankle part of the sock is the typical ribbed cotton that crew socks have, and have a reinforced, stretchy band around the top of the sock.

I like that these socks are nice and stretchy, which...

Maksandmaya says "The best slipper ever!" about Hanna Andersson Swedish Moccasins

Maksandmaya — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:01:32 GMT

I love Hanna Andersson in general. Quality worth the extra money. I ordered these as slippers for both kids - in bright pink and blue. Great quality, super comfy and warm. Best slipper for older kids and suitable for very light outside use for babies. They are machine wahsable (which is a big plus!). My only advice is to check the measurements on their size chart. My son wears 8,5 shoe size, I got him 7-9 size moccassins, but they were just a bit too small. He wore them for about 2 hours and then refused to put them on the next day as they were bothering him. Was too late to return :( I'm currently selling them on my website www.frugelites.com. Other than that they are are very nice, my daughter is enjoying hers, the floors in my house are cold, but her feet feel nice and warm when I take off the moccasins.

Maksandmaya says "Very warm and soft!" about Robeez Booties II

Maksandmaya — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:48:28 GMT

My daughter has just started walking. I got carried away and bought her too many pairs of boots. Robeez Booties is the only pair she can actually wear without falling all the time. They are fully lined with faux fur, Very warm and do stay on. She seems to like them and they are just too cute for words. Some reviews say that they are not outside shoes, which is true if a 3 year old wears them. My daughter (and my son when he was younger) has no problem walking in these outside (it is not like your baby is going to climb a hill or play soccer). These shoes are designed for light outside use and are washable. You can use fine sand paper to "refresh" the soles. I would highly recommend these booties. They are pricey, but do your reaserch, check eBay or resale stores, Amazon has good deals sometimes. I'm currently selling brown booties 0-6 months, check www.frugelites.com

this2shallpass19 says "Not nearly as great as they looked in the store." about Cherokee Boys Hanklin Athleisure Shoes

this2shallpass19 — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:17:39 GMT

My toddler son has recently outgrown his summer sandals, so I went to Target and bought him Cherokee Boys Hanklin Athleisure Shoes for the cold months ahead. Out of all the baby/toddler shoes I saw at Target, I chose these because they looked cute, comfortable and were reasonably priced - $14.00. Unfortunately once I got them home and my son wore them for a couple days, I determined I don't like them very much.

My son's Cherokee Boys Hanklin Athleisuer Shoes looked really cute in the store. They have rubber soles, a cute Sketcher look to them, plus they have two Velcro tabs across the top of the shoe. Those stupid Velcro tabs is what I don't like about these shoes. They don't adjust very well. I intentionally bought these shoes a little too big so they would last through winter. When I pull the Velcro tab across, you can't make them tighter. Basically, the Velcro is just for looks because it's functionality sucks. Besides that, I don't know why but they look really ugly...

catclan says "so soft and cotton, comfortable" about Fruit of the Loom Tuff n' Comfy ankle socks

catclan — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 04:33:32 GMT

The Fruit of the Loom Tuff n Comfy ankle socks are the best and the only thing we wear in our household of five people. I have always worn Fruit of the Loom socks, but particularly love the ankle socks. When I was younger I would wear the high socks, but now me and my family love the ankle socks even more. They priced right and feel extremely soft and comfortable. We have hard wood floors that stay cold all the time and love to wear our ankle socks around the house, but also wear with our tennis shoes out and about. The are nice and not too tight like some other brands ankle socks and I like the grey part so that my younger kids know how to turn them the right way to put their socks all by themselves. They are great to have as a mother, wife, and for yourself. They wash well in the washing machine and last a very long time. My kids have not had to buy more socks from getting holes, it's becasue they have grown out of them. I've had mine for a longer time than my children. ...

bryannah18 says "I was disapointed." about Circo Socks with Grippers

bryannah18 — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 05:48:25 GMT

I was very disappointed with these socks. I bought them in every color for my baby and they stretch out way too easily and they do not stay on her feet. I did not buy the wrong size, they just did not fit right and they made her slip all over the place. I would not reccomend these socks to anybody, they are cheap yes but they are cheap for a reason! The only good thing is that they are available in every color and they are cheap. But if you have a child whos moving or is learning to move, you do not want to buy these ebcause they will set them back because they will fall off and slip off and just get way too big for their feet! they do not shrink in the dryer eitehr, i had to throw them away because nothing would get them back to shape!

hudson2001 says "I did not buy these for yoga - just slippery wood floors!" about ToeSox Yoga / Pilates Toe Socks

hudson2001 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:45:19 GMT

We moved into a house with mostly wood floors, and in the winter, they get COLD and regular socks just slip like crazy--and with a baby that I carry around all the time, slipping is NOT an option. I've tried many different type of grippy socks and slippers, and haven't loved any of them--the gripper dots usually come off within one or two washings or trips around the house. So when someone recommended these yoga socks, I had to give them a try.

Unfortunately, I don't really like them. The grippy knobs are nice--they've stayed on through a few washings already and they're small enough that you can't feel them when walking on them (a problem with some other grippy socks). But the actual toe part of the socks? Egads. It's hard to get your toes in the holes and takes some finessing (something I don't feel you should have to do with something as basic as socks). Then, once you have them on, the socks feel SO thick they are almost uncomfortable (I now know I can't stand to have things between...

stehandco says "nice design. resonably priced" about carozoo soft leather baby shoes football light blue 18-24m

stehandco — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:44:26 GMT

I bought the carozoo soft leather baby shoes football light blue 18-24m for my son on eBay's.

They looked like robeez without the high price. I paid for these shoes about $10 ( w/o shipping)

I like the design of these shoes. They are easy to put on. They also seem comfortable. My son is wearing them at home. It is hard for him to take them off..he doesn't even try.

I like the fact that they are soft sole since I believe that it is better for his little feet.

I would definitively buy the same brand when these are too small. I am very happy that I followed my friends advises.

The design of these shoes is very cute. My husband beeing a football fan, I choose the football theme shoes. My husband likes that and I like the soft colors.

The elastic band on my son's ankles does not seem to be too small.

stehandco says "looks good and not too expensive" about carozoo soft sole leather baby shoes Eiffel tower 3-4t

stehandco — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:17:00 GMT

I bought the carozoo soft sole leather baby shoes Eiffel tower 3-4t on ebay.

In the past, I have bought Robeez. Unfortunetly, Robeez are expensive. Some friends told me about the carozoo. So, I decide to purchase some for my kids. I bought these very cute eiffel tower slippers. I paid only about $12 ( without shipping). I think that the shipping was arround $4.5 but they have a disount if you purchase more so I paid less than that.

I like these shoes because they are soft and I think that it is better for my children's little feet.

I would definitively buy the same brand when these are too small. I am very happy that I followed my friends advises.

They are easy to put on. Well, I put them on my daughter. She did not try to do it by herself yet.

My daughter likes to wear them. She told me that they are ballet shoes. The finitions look ok and the design is very cute. I love the eiffel towers.

this2shallpass19 says "Adorable socks with one of my son's favorite cartoon themes!" about Planet Sox Curious George Socks

this2shallpass19 — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:27:17 GMT

While perusing the $1.00 section at Target recently, I came across a bin of cartoon themed baby/toddler socks. They had Disney's Cars and the PBS show, Curious George among several other cartoons. My son watches Curious George right after Sesame Street every morning, so I thought he would love them and he does!

Planet Sox Curious George Socks were so inexpensive, I couldn't pass them up. Only one dollar for these cute socks!?! These are blue, ankle-length socks that have Curious George peeking through a big, yellow "C". The top of the socks say "Curious! Curious!" and have a red and yellow striped band around the ankle of the sock.

The Planet Sox Curious George Socks are very stretchy and easy to put on my toddler's foot. For only a dollar a pair, I just might go back and get some of the other themes they had available. These socks are made with 98% polyester and 2% spandex exclusive of elastic. Since they socks were so cheap, I don't expect them to last forever,...

AngelaWLaFon says "Smartfit: Easy, Cute and the price is right!" about Smartfit Toddler Brown Double Strap Shoes

AngelaWLaFon — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:53:24 GMT

Smartfit Baby and Toddler Shoes

I have long been a fan of Pedipeds baby and children's shoes. I think they are really stylin' and well made but what I've never thought is that they were reasonably priced. In these times when we're all looking to save money, I've found an alternative baby shoe that is really cute, easy on and yes, the price is right at under $15.00.

My latest find is the Toddler Brown Double Strap, a canvas toddler shoe in dark brown with cacky and orange trimming- the perfect colors for fall. It has double Velcro straps for easy on for busy parents and caregivers and nice patterned soles. I would call this a "casual dress" day shoe that is perfect for play but dressy enough for church or portraits. They look perfect with cacky pants or brown corduroys but they are adorable with jeans or bibs too.

Smartfit baby and toddler shoes are sold at Payless and payless.com for $15.00 or less. They have boys and girls shoe styles from canvas to dressy.

angelkforever says "you'd never guess your child's socks/clothing could be dangerous" about Walgreens Baby Socks

angelkforever — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 21:44:47 GMT

We all love to go out and purchase those cute little clothes for either our own child or for someone else. The market on baby clothes has gone through the roof, creating the most adorable little clothes for our boys and girls. Little do you know that when you put on that one piece outfit with foot coverings, or put on the smallest of small little socks, you could be putting your precious child at risk of loosing circulation in at least one toe...

My newest god-daughters, twin sweet angels, have both encountered a dangerous situation that I myself had never heard of nor experienced before. We worked non stop keeping them healthy, bathing, and dressing them in the most adorable clothing. We bought outfits, socks, etc. from just about everywhere!

One day when getting them undressed for baths, we noticed that one of their toes were purple. upon further inspecton we discovered a piece of thread from either her outfit or her socks, had somehow wrapped itself around a toe and was cutting off...

sweetnspicytaz says "More secure footing for your youngsters" about Circo Socks with Grippers

sweetnspicytaz — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 00:48:16 GMT

Circo has made some comfortable and safe socks for your little ones. When my children started learning how to walk there were many slips and slides in the kitchen and any other slippery floor surfaces in our house. I went in search of some affordable and soft socks that could be durable and safe. Well Circo you have done it. I like the little grippers on the bottom of the socks, they are firmly in place on the sock so my little curious George can't pull them off but can explore her surroundings and worry less about her falls.

I do have to say though I was a little disappointed for these socks just didnt seem to stay on my child's feet. This isn't much of a bad thing if it is warm in the house but when i purchased them it was like November or December and my child suffered from some chilly little piggies.

I think maybe if I bought a bigger size or maybe even a smaller size may have helped but just am not sure. I still have some in my child's dresser and do like the solid colors and the...

this2shallpass19 says "These are the cutest socks I've ever seen!" about Trumpette Baby Camo Socks

this2shallpass19 — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 20:01:50 GMT

My best friend bought my son the Trumpette Baby Camo Socks as a "just because" gift when I was pregnant. Since my husband is in the military, she thought I would get a kick out of socks with a "camo" design, and I did.

The Trumpette Baby Camo Socks come neatly packaged in a cute, camo gift box and wrapped in tissue paper. The socks are available for both babies and toddlers, but the baby socks are pastel colored and the toddler socks are bright colors. You can buy either the boy socks or the girl socks and the only difference is that the girls socks appear to be a little brighter in color than the boys.

A package of baby socks includes six pairs of socks and come in the following pastel colors: green camo, blue camo, yellow camo, orange camo, gray camo and brown camo. There is a little bit of rubber gripping on the bottom of the socks that says "Trumpette". The socks are ankle length and fit my son perfectly.

The Scoop!

These socks are so cute, I just love them. I like...

this2shallpass19 says "These adorable sandals fit my son perfectly!" about Circo Toddler Boys Darius Sport Sandals

this2shallpass19 — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 17:02:36 GMT

These Circo Toddler Boys Darius Sport Sandals are my son's first pair of sandals. He has a pair of sneakers, but it is so hot here in San Diego, I wanted to buy him shoes that didn't require socks. I went to Target looking for a pair of summertime shoes and bought these because they looked comfy, sturdy and the price was right.

These shoes cost $14.99 at Target and were honestly, the cutest pair that I saw there. The sandals have three Velcro straps; one strap across the heel of the foot, one strap across the toes and one across the top of the foot. The straps are soft and comfy, and the sole is a hard rubber that seems to give a little bit when pressure is applied.

The box says that these Circo Toddler Boys Darius Sport Sandals have a non-marking outsole. I haven't noticed any black scuff marks on my flooring, so that is nice. My son doesn't have any problems with pain or discomfort with these shoes. In fact, he wants to wear them. When I ask him if he wants to put...

Katrena says "Red Velvet Baby Dorothy shoes--clicking my heels when I saw this" about Red Velvet Baby Dorothy Shoes

Katrena — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:10:36 GMT

I have three little girls (ages 7, 5, 1), and they seem to be drawn toward everything pink...except when it comes to shoes. Both of the older girls had cute red "Dorothy" shoes, but the baby did not...until I ran across these beautiful Red Velvet Baby Dorothy Shoes at a consignment shop for $1.

About the shoes:

all cloth (soft with a velvet feel)
strap across the top that secures with velcro (easy to put on and take off)
label on the inside of the shoes has the number 6245129

What I like about the shoes:

When you have three little girls all dressed in Dorothy shoes, just about everyone who sees them goes "Awwww.....isn't that so sweet!"
They seem very well made with sturdy stitching--these show almost no wear at all and my youngest wore these quite a few times
They stay on the baby's feel unlike some that the baby could easily kick off

What I don't like about the shoes:

made in China (I try to buy American made products when I can find them at a comparable price)
baby won't be...

Katrena says "These Baby Deer Cloth Shoes w/ Ruffles--Beautiful and Stay On!" about Baby Deer Cloth Shoes with Ruffles

Katrena — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 06:33:33 GMT

My sister bought these Baby Deer cloth shoes with ruffles for my first child in 2001. They have survived three children and are still intact! Of course, shoes for an infant that cannot walk are just for show, but ruffles and flowers for little girls can be adorable.

What I like about these baby shoes:

soft, satin-type material
cute flowers and ruffles that are still intact eight years later
elastic across the top to help them stay on
my babies actually wore these instead of pulling them off
durable--they show very little signs of wear after being worn numerous times
fit my babies' feet well (narrow)
easy care--I have washed these by hand simply because they don't mention care instructions on them but they only take a few moments to wash

What I don't like about these baby shoes:

made in China
babies outgrow this size so quickly

My Viewpoint:

I have seen a lot of baby shoes after having three children. Many baby shoes are easy for the baby to get off, seem to be uncomfortable,...

stehandco says "soft sole" about Robeez Trainer Royal Soft-Soled Leather Shoes

stehandco — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:28:50 GMT

I like my children to start walking without shoes. I think it is better for their development. However, I don't want them to get hurt when they walk outside. The Robeez are soft sole shoe which is great for their little feet. It protects their feet without having a hard shoe.

I like the fact that they are easy to put on and that they stay on. The shoes and the socks stay on with the Robeez.

My daughter wore the white sandal from Robeez. My son has 3 pairs of Robeez.

These shoes are very cute. They are many style to fit yours.

I think that they are pretty sturdy as my children's Robeez are in quite good condition.

As far as the price, it is a little pricey. However, you can find some good deal ( I just bought 2 pairs of Robeez for $31). In addition, I have seen that many shoes similar to the Robeez are in the same price range.

They are great gifts for new parents. Much better than the
"decorative" shoes.

Katrena says "Sesame Street Dress Shoes--durable but baby wouldn't wear them" about Sesame Street White Dress Shoes for Baby

Katrena — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:06:43 GMT

These white Sesame Street baby dress shoes were given to one of my daughters as a gift. Shoes for small babies tend to be cute, but my pediatrician said they are pretty much just for show until the baby is able to walk. Well, my children must like much show when they are babies because I could not get any of my children to wear these shoes when they were little.

What I like about these Sesame Street shoes:

cute
look durable (but they haven't exactly been thoroughly tested over here)
velcro fastener--much easier to get on than many styles

What I don't like about these Sesame Street shoes:

babies would not wear them but they did tend to entertain them as they learned to kick them off and watch them fly through the air
flying shoes are easily lost, especially in public places when mom doesn't notice until everyone is out of the store or church or other public building
tend to be a bit wide--my children tend to have long and lean feet
sole was a little hard, which limited the baby's movement and perhaps...
