Has anyone got a code for Robeez? I am astounded at the wonderful selection of soft leather slippers for older babies. Try them robeez.co.uk

I got a pair for dd a few weeks ago, they are so cute. Not cheap so if anyone has any codes I'd be interested....
Does anyone have any experience of Clarks pre walker shoes? Are they good? DD is nearly walking but not quite there but I want to make sure she is wearing the correct things. Her Robeez shoes are so soft and cute but does she need more support or not?

DD is the only one in my mum's grp not to be in shoes. the others keep asking me if I am going to get her fitted. I have had her measured but feel that she is not ready for shoes until she is ready to walk outside (13m now). I wince when I see these big shoes (& I think uncomfy) on tiny feet. But we all have different ideas about things & that's only my opinion.
She is in "shoes that stay on" from John Lewis at mo (soft leather slippers) but they never have the next size up in stock, hence I am looking at Robeez.

The Robeez ones are great, my only moan is that they have gto a bit scuffed after only a couple of weeks. I think its becuase she wore them to nursery and was craling around on the soft play surface outside. hmmm should possibly keep them for home. SHe also loves chewing them I think there is somewhere on the website that says the dyes they use are not going to do them any harm if they chew them a bit so that does not worry me really. I got the purple flower ones but there are loads I'd love to get her. Start her off with a shoe collection early

In answer to your question caramali, toddlers dont actually need support in the form of shoes. It is in fact best if they dont wear anything on their feet, their feet will then be unrestricted and a lot better for them. Obviously though when they are walking outside they need something to protect their feet. My daughter didnt wear proper shoes until she was walking confidnelty, basically when she wanted to walk around outside. I kept her in the soft shoes until that point.
