As a self-proclaimed "cheap mom", when it comes to my young daughter's clothes, I am all about shopping at thrift stores and clearance sales. I see little reason to splurge on clothing that will last 6 months, at best. That is, unless, we are talking about Robeez baby crib shoes.

The soft-soled, leather, crib shoes are a great first shoe for any baby. Robeez "caring about first steps" shoes are engineered with your baby's development in mind. Robeez shoes slip on, allowing for ease and convenience. They also stay on, ensuring you don't lose one while out and about. Robeez shoes are undeniably comfortable. The soft, flexible leather is gentle on your baby's feet. Robeez shoes are also skid-resistant and incredibly durable. They will last long after your child has outgrown them. Robeez shoes can also be worn inside and out. Overall, Robeez shoes are an incredibly smart design.

On top of the impressive design, Robeez shoes are also pretty cute. Once touted, by myself, as "ugly-cute", I soon realized how cute they really were, once my daughter actually had them on. Robeez shoes have tons of designs, from pink shoes with brown cats to blue shoes with grey sharks. Robeez unique and colorful patterns are a compliment to any outfit.

Upkeep is minimal. The shoes are machine-washable. Just make sure to wash them seperately in cold water. Partially dry your Robeez in the dryer, on a low setting. Then simply reshape and let air-dry. To minimize wear, you can also hand wash your Robeez with a mild detergent and spot clean with a soft rag, as needed.

If there is one thing to splurge on with your child's clothing, splurge on Robeez crib shoes. Both you and your baby will be glad you did.
