    Does anyone have a preference over the other? The prices are about the same but I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on which one is best. I got the twins a generic pair from the Disney Store but they have out grown them. I want to get them a better pair this time because they are more mobile. TIA

    I have never bought either. I would love to know people's opinions on this. [​IMG]

    We have both - I think they're the same. They are both better quality than the knock-offs, but there isn't much of a difference between them. We also just recently got a pair of preschoolians slippers, which are the same as Bobux and Robeez, but you can make your own design if you buy from their website. It's kind of fun!

    We have the Target version, made by Bobux, I think they are called Little Star? So far, so good! [​IMG]

    I like Robeez, and I buy Shoezoo at eBay. Much cheaper, lesser quality too, but the price difference is big, so in the end it works out the same (I usually get 2 different pairs per size!). And as long as they're not walking on them, it doesn't matter at all.

    We have Robeez. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them! My girls started wearing them around 3 months and can still fit in the 0-6 mo. size. They have never fallen off which is great because we need their little piggies warm up here in chilly MA.

    We wear Robeez here. They have several pairs and we just got the sandals for the summer - too cute.

    DS threw up everywhere last week and I threw his navy blue slippers in the washing machine, then line-dried them. They came out perfect.

    Sometimes I don't like to risk getting offbrands, because you can end up spending more if things don't hold up.

    Good luck!

    Actually, Bobux makes a cheaper brand for Target called ministar. They look exactly the same and come in really cute designs. I just bought 4 pairs on line. Unfortunately, when they arrived, they were way to big. I have a pair of Robeez the same size and the Bobux I have found run way bigger. So I went to Target and just bought 4 pairs of the 6-12 which fit them well with a little room to grow. We decided not to return the others and save them so they can use them around the house when they no longer fit the 6-12. They are only 12.99 a pair. They look and feel the same to me and they stay on just as well. I will not spend 26 dollars a pair anymore. I'm not one of those people who has to have my kids in all brand name stuff. As long as they look cute it's all good to me [​IMG]

    We only have Robeez. I have been very pleased with them. They certainly prevent the socks from coming off. We have the 6-12 month size and they have lots of room to grow. Good luck making your decision!

    We got one pair of Bobux for $30 and one pair of Target whatevers for $12. The Bobux are a little softer, IMO. But they seem to function the same. According to the lady at the shoe store where we bought the Bobux, there is essentially no difference between Bobux and Robeez.

    I received a pair of Robeeze for a present and just started using them. I was impressed with how well they stay on. I do know that we can receive discounts on preschoolian shoes (multiples) so definitely check it out.

    I had Robeez for my dd but I found similar shoes that I liked even more -- Isabooties. You can google to see them and order them online. She had the brown pair with blue polka dots. They went with everything and you can wash and dry them and they came out looking brand new! I'm definitely going to order some more for my boys too.

    Thanks so much for the advice ladies. I think I am going to go with the Robeez. My mother in law took my oldest ds to get some new shoes. We take him to a local store that's been around since 1948. He's been going their since he was a baby and they have kept a record of every visit. They always send us a card in the mail to remind us when its time to come in. Anyway, my mother in law was talking to the sales lady and she said they give twin discounts. I looked at their website and they carry the Robeez. I am going to go out tomorrow and get them a pair. Thanks again!
