Robeez : Soft Sole Shoes

Lexi is quite severely in-toed meaning that she is 'pigeon-toed' and her feet point inwards slightly. After many visits to various Orthopaedic Physiotherapists we were told that, with a little help using gentle exercises and the correct footwear, her problem will correct itself in the next couple of years. By "correct footwear" we were told that the best thing for Lexi is to wear very soft and light shoes that are essentially like her being barefooted.

So when Robeez asked me to review their soft soled leather shoes I was delighted as they are the perfect footwear for Lexi's condition as they are soft and light yet give Lexi more grip than being barefoot. She can wear them out in the garden and around the house to give her maximum comfort whilst still protecting her feet which is brilliant.

Robeez sent us 5 different designs from their soft sole Step 1 range to see what we thought...

All Robeez soft soled shoes are beautifully packaged in a gorgeous little carry box, which Lexi loved and was carrying around with her everywhere. It has a clear window on the front so you can see the shoes with the front opening like a door. Lexi was mesmerised opening the box after seeing the treasures contained inside!

Reversible Princess Bee Social Butterfly

Lexi absolutely loves Bees and anything that flies is called a "Bee" in her world at the moment so these reversible princess bee social butterfly shoes were her absolute favourites. They are brilliant. You can have them with the bee design on show, the butterfly on show or go quirky and have one of each! Lexi demanded they were taken from the box and put on her feet instantly with the "bee" on show so she could parade around and show everyone her beautiful new shoes!

Both designs are so cute with the bee having a bright pink background, perfect for girly girls, wearing a crown and wand with the word "Queen" above it. The butterfly has a more neutral brown background with the word "Social" above it. Lexi loved both sides but the bees were definitely her hands down favourites! These reversible Princess Bee Social Butterfly shoes are available to buy online for £22.00 directly from Robeez here.

Scooter Doggie - Navy

Lexi loves all animals so these scooter doggie shoes were great. She was giggling with delight when I asked if she wanted to wear them and kept kneeling down to point at them and smile whilst saying "doggie". The really cute, brightly coloured, bold design is fantastic for children as it's something a little different from the norm and encourages them to put on and keep on their shoes for outside play. With doggie's ears flying back in the wind and her bright pink scooter and helmet on, children and adults alike can't help but love these shoes! We had many comments from fellow parents when we went to the park asking where we got the shoes from which was nice too as I could brag about this fantastic website I knew about where they had hundreds of fabulous designs... Robeez of course! The Scooter Doggie - Navy shoes retail for £19.99 to £22 depending on size and can be bought direct from Robeez here.

Peek a Roo Dog House - Blue

Strictly speaking these are in the boys section of the website but with Lexi's love of animals, these were one of our top choices as they are a really cute design and even though they are blue, they don't look too masculine so Lexi definitely got away with wearing them!

What makes these shoes even more fun is that "Scruffy" the dog's kennel door opens so you can see him in full view. The door simply velcro's shut again making wearing the shoes even more fun for your little one. Lexi absolutely loved opening up the kennel door, stroking Scruffy the dog then closing it again.

Peek a Roo Dog House also retail for £22 and can be bought from Robeez's website here.

Girlie Glamour MJ

The girlie glamour soft sole shoes can only be described as gorgeous! They are real "girly" shoes in bright pink with flowers and a larger flower detailing on them with a strap across the top of the foot. They are absolutely perfect to wear with a party dress or to a wedding as they are really glamourous and eye-catching. Lexi wore them to a birthday party with a pink dress and all the other Mummies were commenting on how cute they were and how sweet Lexi looked. Lexi loved them too and kept playing with the flower. A real must buy for any occasion for any age little princess!

Robeez Girlie Glamour MJ soft sole shoes retail for just £19.99 and are available to buy online here.

Interchangeable In the Garden - Pastel Pink

These were another of Lexi's favourites of the five pairs we were sent. Firstly because they have a garden theme and she loves gardening but mainly because they have interchangeable add-ons which is brilliant! Depending on her mood she can have the watering can, flower or butterfly or even mix them up for some variety. Lexi loved being able to customise them herself.

It's so simple to custom them too; simply pull back the velcro strap, slip off the motif and slip on the new one and hey presto - a completely different looking pair of shoes to suit mood, outfit choice or simply just for fun!

All three designs are so cute too in their pretty pastel colours. Lexi loved customising the shoes herself to make them look funky and even carried the other motifs around in the shoe box so that they were handy whenever she decided that she wanted a change!

Robeez's Range of Soft Sole Shoes

Robeez soft sole shoes are suitable from birth to age 6 as they are so soft that they allow tiny baby toes to grip and gain muscle and yet support development of older feet whilst allowing them to breath and grow as they need to. Many of their designs are available in all sizes although some are only currently available for age 0-24 months. As Lexi has quite small feet for her age she only needed the age 18-24 months even though she is already 2 as she is a size 5.5 and the age 18-24 are suitable right up to size 7. The shoes are so hard wearing that they will easily see her through to a size 7! They feature a suede non-slip outsole, are washable and have elasticated easy-on backs so they slip on piece of cake!

I think the price is very reasonable too as I have paid a LOT more than £22 for shoes for Lexi which she just used for outdoor play and inside the house and they weren't anywhere near as good quality nor had all the benefits, designs or ease of use that Robeez Soft Sole Shoes do! There are also always lots of bargains to be had on the Robeez website in their sale section here so why not pop over and take a look at their very extensive range of shoes for both boys and girls on their website or why not pop over and say hi on their Facebook page!

All five of the pairs of soft sole shoes we were sent by Robeez were gorgeous looking, beautifully crafted, fun and funky and most importantly of all were beneficial to Lexi's development meaning Mummy and Daddy are very happy aswell. I can't wait to take a start choosing more designs to buy which I am sure will also be massively Loved By Lexi!
