My son was a late walker, so he lived in Robeez for a long time.  These booties took a lot of abuse, were washed multiple times, and still look great to be used by a future baby.  They worked great to keep my little one's feet warm in our older home with hardwood flooring.  He was never able to take them off himself, but they are a breeze for me to pop on and off him.  His physical therapist recommended he wear this type of shoe so his feet could become stronger as they tried to grip the floor through the soft, flexible sole. I would recommend these to all my friends.
