Re: Re: Needing some suggestions

We have Robeez for Grant to go over his AFOs, and I love them. The only

consideration for Lilee would be to wear them over her socks if possible. They

have elastic, though mostly covered by the leather, is somewhat exposed, and if

Lilee has latex allergies it might cause exposure unless she has socks on.

Grant's go over his AFO and socks, so he's not directly exposed to the elastic.

Christee,

I have a couple of pairs of Robeez you could

have. In fact, I have a ton of clothes and shoes

that you will have to make room in your truck to

pick up when you're here in Portland on the 30th so beware...

PLEASE TAKE THEM!!! lol

We just bought a pair of the Robeez sandals for Lily & love them.

I believe the Robeez would stay on. My son has spina bifida, and his feet

aren't completely corrected. I tried his Robeez on without his AFO, and

despite the fact they were too big, they stayed on.

The recommendation for little ones is a soft-soled shoe rather than hard-soled.

That is a good idea and I know that a friend has told me that she gets Robeez

type shoes at Target for much less of the cost of Robeez.

Re: Needing some suggestions

Christee--

I have an idea. You could try buying the slippers/sandals that are

made by Robeez. They make regular slippers/shoes that babies cannot

kick off. I guess they are not really shoes b/c they do not have

hard soles: Robeez sandals are made of soft leather and they have

vent holes cut in the top. Although they are rather expensive

($25/pr. in Canada), one pair lasted my first son 6 months until his

feet grew. I am not sure where you're from or whether the available

in the States, but they worked wonders for us.

I was at a Target Monday and had a chance to look at them. The price here was

12.99. They were pretty cute, but of course, the pair I liked wasn't in his

size! I wonder if they have some examples at www.target.com

As for Robeez, my mom bought Grant a pair for 20 dollars. They were a

discontinued style. I think Robeez usually run at 25-26 dollars everywhere

I've seen them. If you have a Scheels nearby, my sister said they had some

styles there that were 15 dollars.

Waaaahhh... I thought you were talking to me ( I skimmed faster than I should
