If someone gave them to me as a gift, LO would wear them though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1651890 Thu, 22 May 2014 12:11:00 +0000 Alivoo01 1651890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're cute, but yea, the price tag is pretty darn steep! I rarely spend that much on my own shoes and I wear the crap out of em. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1651820 Thu, 22 May 2014 11:43:47 +0000 Running Elley 1651820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: HAHAHA just saw that.

(And by we I mean me, haha.) LO has ones with dancing ballerina bears on them now (not my style- it was a gift) and the bottoms are pretty dirty. She wears them in the walker/jumper and even keeping what I feel (hope?) is a pretty clean house they're darker on the bottom :( It doesn't look too horrible though. I bet the pink might fade into a pinkish brown and not look horrible! Keep me updated :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650554 Wed, 21 May 2014 23:33:25 +0000 hellocupcake 1650554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're cure, LO cold totally rock them...but i would never pay 60 dollars for them. I consider 20/25 a splurge for baby shoes...especially when I can buy adorable shoes for less than 15 at Target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650553 Wed, 21 May 2014 23:32:30 +0000 autumnlove 1650553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are ok but I will never buy them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650548 Wed, 21 May 2014 23:13:09 +0000 Pepper 1650548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're cute on girls, but not my style for boys. They're also wayyyy too expensive for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650422 Wed, 21 May 2014 20:58:36 +0000 Boheme 1650422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my thing at all. I'm too practical to ever buy them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650281 Wed, 21 May 2014 19:29:42 +0000 Sparkler 1650281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are cute on girls, not a fan on boys. They are an expensive item popular because of celebrities and mommy blogs. I splurge on some things for my kids (hunter rain boots, sorel winter boots, patagonia jackets), but they are indestructible and easy to clean so they look new after they are out grown. My kids destroy shoes, so don't think these would work for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650276 Wed, 21 May 2014 19:27:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 1650276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: haha-- the pink bottom is exactly what I'm worried about with these! I got the white ones, which have a pink bottom. I hope they don't get super dirty looking too quickly. I'll let you know. So far she is just cruising inside and rarely crawling on grass outside but I think that will change pretty soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650257 Wed, 21 May 2014 19:15:06 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1650257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're cute :heart: But I'm way too practical to ever buy them myself (easy for me to say since DD is too old for them). Minimilistic shoes are supposed to be good for early walkers (I've read barefoot is best at home), but I'm a little surprised how they've become so popular, even in warmer weather areas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650256 Wed, 21 May 2014 19:13:30 +0000 Ginabean3 1650256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are cute and I actually like the obnoxious colors but.....they are way too $$$ and the colors I like wouldn't match with enough of LO's stuff to make it worthwhile. Plus, I feel like she needs shoes with more support. We just put her in the Stride Rite early walkers (she's 15 months today and just started walking independently last week!) and she is thriving in them! And I think Stride Rite is expensive..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650235 Wed, 21 May 2014 18:55:51 +0000 kjpugs 1650235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: those are the others we considered! It made me nervous to not have the brown bottom though. What color did you get? Let me know how you like those- we can swap Robeez reviews :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650215 Wed, 21 May 2014 18:43:38 +0000 Trailmix 1650215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love love love them!! Haha, just bought a pair off @arden and I can't wait to put DD in them! I'm definitely pro-soft sole until LOs are a lot older and they're so cute! But, I have several pairs of mocs that I wear myself so that's just my style, I guess. </p> <p>I won't, however, pay $60 for them, or any other shoes for LO. If anyone's wearing $60-shoes in our house, it's going to be me!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650199 Wed, 21 May 2014 18:33:59 +0000 luckypenny 1650199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I :heart: them! E had a pair my sister bought her for her 1st bday. I'm thinking about buying her a pair this year (I've never bought them). I like soft soles shoes for her! We are barefoot whenever possible </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650179 Wed, 21 May 2014 18:22:13 +0000 Silva 1650179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are a status symbol. If you are into minimalist shoes you can find them for way cheaper. Even soft star shoes are cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650140 Wed, 21 May 2014 17:48:28 +0000 mrsjyw 1650140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my style. And $60? Come onnnnn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650115 Wed, 21 May 2014 17:31:50 +0000 bpcmarj 1650115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They aren't really my style and I don't even spend $60 on shoes for myself! But, I do think they look really cute on other people's kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650052 Wed, 21 May 2014 16:54:16 +0000 Arden 1650052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: HelloMoccs are very similar to FP, they are $45 and frequently run 50% off sales so you can get a pair for less than $25. I'll wall you next time I see a sale. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked/page/2#post-1650039 Wed, 21 May 2014 16:47:48 +0000 SnowLion 1650039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are cute, but scream hipster with money. Little ones feet grow so quickly that I couldn't justify spending that kind of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked#post-1650033 Wed, 21 May 2014 16:44:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 1650033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are really cute but won't pay $60 for them. I followed @Arden: 'a advice and entered some giveaways but I'm not that lucky. :( I do want to keep her in soft soles for a while, for the reasons Arden posted, but robeez will do unless I win some. </p> <p>@kjpugs: you have to tell me if those robeez stay on! I was so tempted to get them but I got the pansy style instead bc I was afraid she would be able to pull the espadrilles off. </p> <p>Also- I totally thought robeez were the fancy fad overpriced brand until I started looking into it more and realized thy are the cheap ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked#post-1650014 Wed, 21 May 2014 16:36:27 +0000 looch 1650014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is no way I would use those kind of shoes on a child older than 1 year. They're just not practical in weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked#post-1650003 Wed, 21 May 2014 16:31:21 +0000 cascademom 1650003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get their appeal, but I also don't have a baby girl which they seem very oriented towards. LO was in Robeez for a month or two at best before needing a stronger soled shoes for city walking and play. </p> <p>Switching him to Stride Rite was one of the best decisions we made because the shoes hold up well and he gets so much use out of them. I haven't paid $60 for shoes for him, but if they're worth it I would. I wouldn't buy FP though at that price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked#post-1649985 Wed, 21 May 2014 16:21:24 +0000 lamariniere 1649985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like mocs, period. I will admit to spending more than $60 on kids shoes, but they were utilitarian goretex winter boots that my son wore every single day of the winter (and our winters are long). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked#post-1649945 Wed, 21 May 2014 16:00:06 +0000 Kimberlybee 1649945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are cute and honestly, I like the story behind it when the founder appeared on Shark Tank. I was desperate to find a shoe that DD wouldn't pull off and we have lost quite a few soft sole shoes already that add up to more than $60. I don't mind paying more to support shoes and clothes that are made in the U.S.A. DD hasn't tried to pull these off yet. My DH thinks they are f-ugly though. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked#post-1649925 Wed, 21 May 2014 15:50:19 +0000 Running Elley 1649925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also really like (from what I've seen on IG) the purses that they're releasing tomorrow! I'm interested to see what the price will be...kind of terrified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshly-picked#post-1649910 Wed, 21 May 2014 15:45:46 +0000 JerricaBenton 1649910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: totally agree. </p> <p>I don't mind spending some $ on something that I just love or something I feel will be a keepsake but FP mocs aren't that for me. I do think it's hard to find baby/toddler shoes that appeal to me because I like high quality shoes and also shoes that aren't going to clash with 75 percent of her clothes. I get FPs in that they're a simple design and can be a neutral solid color but I don't know about the quality. Also something about the hysteria over them turns me off, like people entering contest after contest for another freaking pair of baby shoes. And FWIW I live in a pretty upscale area and I'm pretty sure no one would even know what they were. It's only a status symbol for a very small group who frequent the blogs and IG. </p>
