Gentle Shoes for Tiny Feet

October 20, 2009; 6:00 am by Joyce Slaton

owl.jpgIs it a federal parenting law that toddlers have to wear Robeez? They’re soft and flexible and all, but they sure are fug: Shiny and decorated with graphics that put me in mind of that horrible whiner Calliou. Shudder.

Simple’s Infant’s Weegee is a lot like Hanna Andersson’s popular Swedish moccasin, an all-in-one shoe-and-sock combo for the colder months. But to my eye this particular model is a lot more subtle than any of Hanna’s, which are all afflicted by the Hanna Andersson Eye-Watering Color Combo Syndrome. Simple’s Weegee, like Simple’s adult shoes, is made from eco-friendly materials, in this case suede from an eco-certified tannery, recycled plastic and natural latex, and a soft, plushy organic cotton fleece lining. They’re washable, comfy, and almost as soft as your infant’s tiny feet.

  1. These are adorable! Polarn O. Pyret has the Swedish moccasin’s in red and blue striped. Check them out! http://www.polarnopyretusa.com

  2. If you prefer a simpler shoe without the graphics, you should look into Robeez’s winter booties. The cozy ankle booties are my favourite.

  3. You may want to check http://www.zassie.com for a different look and feel to infant shoes. At least it offers a choice if you are tired of the same old, same old (pedipeds anyone? shudder).

  4. Awww cute!

  5. cute, I love them!
