I purchased these Robeez because it had better traction than Bobux.  Plus the pastel pink looked absolutely adorable in the picture and in person.  I got plenty of compliments with these shoes.

However it was a pain to get them on her feet in the morning.  It's very tight around her ankles.  That's one of the complaints I've read around the web for Robeez ... that it's just too snug around the ankles and some parents even complained it turned their toddler's ankles purple.  Based on the reviews for this particular pair of Robeez on Amazon, I had hoped it wouldn't be this snug but I was wrong.  It is VERY snug.  That's where I took off one star.

My daughter doesn't have chunky feet or ankles.  In fact, my daughter is 13 month old but wears shoes sized for a 9 month old but she's as tall as an 18 month old.  Go figure?  I can't even imagine how uncomfortable it must be for a baby who has chunky feet to wear these.

I have purchased a pair of Robeez boots and loved it.  But boots are different than sneakers.

If you're considered about the snug fit around the ankles, I recommend&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/umi-Infant-Pearl-Pre-Walker/dp/B001CSZXLA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">umi Infant Pearl Pre-Walker</a>.  I purchased the Umi a week after the Robeez and wished I found them earlier.  It's a little cheaper too than Robeez AND it's very spacious around the ankles AND it doesn't fall off!!
