pediped vs. robeez/bobux

I am looking into getting Emma some black mary janes for the "winter" (such as it is in Louisiana).  There are these from Bobux and these from Pediped.  I have a coupon for Bobux for 15% off, but if the Pediped are better for an all over the place walker, I will ditch the coupon.  Also any advice on Pediped sizing will be a huge help too!!  TIA!!

we have the patent black mary janes from pedipeds and love them.

i've not seen the bobux so I'm not sure about those, but pedipeds are the only shoes she has and the only ones I really want to buy for her.  I just don't think you can beat them for flexibility (the most important thing for this age.)

because they are leather soled, they can be slippery on hardwood floors, but since she's barefoot at home, we haven't had a problem with that.

sizing runs true to size, but they also have a printable size chart on line.

squidge here is bigfoot, so she's in 18-24

Thanks Kat!  She has a pair of Robeez and I was wanting something with a little more durability to them.  It seems that the Robeez can sort of get twisted (for lack of a better word) off to the side a little big.  I am hoping that the Pedipeds are a little more sturdy, but still soft.  Thanks again!  I am no where closer to my decision, but at least I have experience with both and now I just have to make up my darn mind!!

the pedipeds are just like real shoes, minus the hard bottom.  it's like the stability of a big kid shoe in the upper and the flexibility of the robeez on the bottom.

check out craigs list if you don't want to shell out $30 without seeing them in person first.  kids grow so fast that you can get good deals on barely used shoes there
