Spring Styles from Stride rite & Robeez

We are huge Stride rite and Robeez fans. When both of the kids were babies and just starting to walk, the only shoes that I trusted their feet in were Robeez. Kambry still wears Robeez and Tucker loves his Stride rite shoes. Why? They are cool! (As he says). Yes, Stride rite are ‘cool’, but as a parent, I love these brands because they are very durable and my kids’ feet are comfortable in the shoes.

Let’s start with the younger crowd with Robeez. As I said, I love Robeez! I have to admit that my first pair of Robeez that I saw, heard of and used was purchased second hand from a good friend’s yard sale. After this day, with the kids, I purchased nothing but Robeez for the kids when they were babies and new walkers.

This summer, we have a few babies that are due in our lives and Robeez are what we have on our list for gifts to get each of them. If you are looking for that perfect shoe, for that perfect baby shower gift – a pair of Robeez are a great consideration! One that I love on the Robeez website is:

This Fall, we have a Kindergartner on our hands, Tucker! He has had 2 pairs of Stride rite shoes in the past, and I can say that the durability of each of them has shocked, yet excited me! Tucker’s last pair of Stride rite shoes

We have had the best luck with Stride rite shoes for Tucker. He is a very active almost 5 year old boy. He likes dirt. He is active. He loves mud. He runs. He gets in to everything. Sure, we have tried cheaper makes of shoes, but I got sick of spending $20 on cheap shoes that fell apart after a couple of months and shoes that stank after just a few times of wearing them. Stride rite shoes range around $50.00. Some may think that is high, but think about it. You go to a local retail store and buy a generic pair of shoes that reek after a while, fall apart, look horrible after a short time of wear, oh – and that were over $20. This makes you huffy, doesn’t it? It does me! I will gladly pay $50.00 for a pair of good, reliable shoes. Stride rite’s shoes are our favorites!
