EDIT 7/8/2013: Just a final note that my daughter has thoroughly worn these shoes out.  For the past month or so she LOVES to talk to me about the dog on her shoes---all day long!  It was kind of funny when she finally realized it was a dog, because she loves dogs so much and she had already been wearing them for a while...Anyway, these were fun shoes.  The dog washes up moderately well with a bit of dish soap and a toothbrush.  The middle piece of the dog's bow came off.  The soles are still fine, but fairly dirty.  The dog is filthy.  We didn't have any more problems with stitches coming out.  My daughter is almost 13 months and these shoes (size 6-12 months) are just now starting to look like we're ready to move up to the next size.

EDIT 5/24/2013 (Also reducing from 5 stars to 4):  Okay, now are you ready for a real review from someone who actually knows about these exact shoes?  I originally reviewed these about 6 weeks ago, and now I have more that I would like to add.  My daughter has been wearing these as her only shoes.  She goes barefoot around our house (most of the day) and when we go outside she wears these shoes.  She is still only crawling and cruising--she doesn't walk on her own yet.  So, she probably wears these on average maybe 30 minutes a day or less, but occasionally we'll go out for several hours and she'll wear them all or most of the time.  When it seems safe for her to be barefoot she is, and a lot of times she is in our Boba 3G carrier (I'm wear her) or in her car seat as we drive places.  So, what I'm saying here is that she wears these shoes regularly, but not anywhere near all day every day.  The actual amount of time that these shoes are walked in or crawled in is usually outside (or in places that I wouldn't want her to wear socks out of concern that whey would be dirty), but that is probably an average of 5 minutes a day.  Usually a few seconds here or there, and occasionally half an hour here or there.  So, that gives you a very clear idea of the use these have seen.

Structurally, these shoes have held up fine.  They are still cute.  BUT, they're quite dirty.  I don't know what the washing instructions are (if there are any) so maybe I need to look into that.  Here are the issues with these shoes:

- The dog is made of light suede.  It seriously started getting dirty like, the day after I wrote my original review.  I've rubbed it with a wet washcloth a couple times, but that didn't make a much of a difference.  For kids that are not crawling (ie new babies or little kids that are past crawling and on to only walking) that material is probably fine, and even cute.  For crawling kids, I would not pick something with light suede again.  I wish I could post pictures on this product, because you would see what it actually looks like.  It just looks dirty.  And, if you're only using the shoes once in a while (like, to go with one outfit that is worn only occasionally) that would be more likely to be fine, too.

- The bottoms of the shoes are also pretty dirty. I would kind of expect that, though, and that's not a big deal.  It's size 6-12 months, and she's a month away from 12 months.

- We had another problem with stitching that started to come out.  On the bottom of one of the shoes the stitching started to come out by the inner edge.  There ended up being a thread hanging from the shoe that was about an inch or maybe a little longer.  It was really only a few stitches.  I trimmed it, and it isn't super obvious, but it looked a little bad before I trimmed it.  The dog's eye has not lost much more of the stitching, so I'd say it is still 80% there?

The sizing has still been about right.  My daughter will be one in almost a month and these shoes fit her just right.  Which means that if we go up in size for her next pair, they will probably be a little big...or if her next pair is the same size they will last for a little while, but I don't really know how long.  I think I'll probably get the next size up for her next pair...but these will definitely be fine at least for the next month.

Anyway, I think I will try to wash these, and hopefully they will clean up well.  If you're buying for a tiny immobile baby or a walking baby these may still be a good pick.  If you're buying for a crawling baby that has many pairs of shoes, these may still be a good pick.  If your crawling baby received these as a gift, don't worry, you'll still really like them...but if you're choosing a main (or only) pair of shoes for a crawling and cruising baby, I would pick a different style of Robeez without the light suede.

Hopefully that is helpful to someone!  I noticed when I was comparing the different kinds it seemed like most of the reviews are either non-specific to the style you're looking at(eg. "WE LOVE ALL ROBEEZ!!!") or they are from people who haven't used them, usually because they ordered a size too big (eg. We got these and they are the best!  Can't wait for my baby to be born so she can wear them!) So, this gives you something more objective to consider.

The shoes are super cute though.  We have gotten tons of compliments.

--- ORIGINAL REVIEW from April ---

I ordered the 6-12 month size because my daughter is 9 months old.  I had considered ordering the next size up so that they would last a little longer (I expected to get 3 months of use), but I'm glad I didn't!  If anything, these shoes are just a little too big.  My daughter is just starting to cruise around rooms holding onto furniture, and when she wears these she trips more.  But, I think she's getting used to them, and I'm sure she'll grow into them better.

The shoes are great!  The sole is just a piece of leather (with the dog picture stitched on the bottom), so it's relatively thin, and I think she can still feel the ground better than if she had a rubber sole.  I had heard that Robeez stay on well, and that is true.

The stitching on the dog's eye started to come out.  I worried a little that we would end up with a blind dog, but I pulled it a bit more and was able to get it to a point where it stopped coming out, and despite losing 8 stitches or so, I think it is just not as thick, because the eye is not messed up.

These shoes are a nice color of brown, and they match a lot of my daughter's outfits.

I highly recommend these, with the condition that if you're buying for a 9 month old, 6-12 months is probably still the right size!  If you go up, you'll most likely have shoes that are too large.  But that's a feature, not a problem with the product.  (Correct sizing!)
