Although our baby girl is 14 months old, she IS TINY and just reached the size 2 mark in shoes! She wasted little time walking and went straight to running, which required sturdy and skid-proof shoes. The issue is very few 'walking shoes' (that she is not easily able to maneuver off her tiny feet)  can be found in stores in such a small size. Most sturdy walking shoes come in size 3 or 4 plus. Thank goodness for Robeez, once again! She can walk/run in them easily, they stretch for comfort, and she cannot pull them off!  I must note that the soles of these shoes are NOT made of anti-skid material (rubber or with the texture grain.) Either way, these have been fantastic and she walks in them easily (on all tile floors with multiple rugs.) Very much appreciated!
