Happy with Target's Robeez Knock Offs?

MrsPedersen · June 2011

I need to get DD some shoes, but I can buy 2 pair at target for less than half a pair of Robeez

I didn't like them much. There was an obvious difference in quality between them and the real thing. They also started falling apart/looking worn much more quickly.

We never had the real Robeez, so I have nothing to compare them to, but we had 2 pairs of the Target knock-offs and I liked them. I thought they held up well, but I did notice the bottoms looked like they got dirty rather quickly.

I bought two matching pairs from Target. They did start to look worn a little sooner than Stride Rite's but they were white so its hard to compare. I've been pleased with the quality and would buy them again. I get most of the girls Stride Rites from a consignment store for $4-10. If I want them to have matching shoes for a photo or something, I get the Target brand.

Eh, they're ok. I have Robeez and Target knock-offs and there is def. a difference in quality. I think with shoes, you get what you pay for. If you get the Target brand and expect cheap shoes, then you're good. If you expect something more, you will be disappointed.

I thought they were fine...we had the plain brown pair. Granted he didn't wear them all the time, just when we went places, so maybe that makes a difference.

My DS has two pair and he plays in them because he can walk really good in them. I even wash them. I don't normally take him places in them though I prefer Nikes or Stride Rite tennis shoes for outings. All in all I think they are cute and good for what you pay for they are very well priced.

I agree I had them when DD was little and I was looking for something cute shoes that would aid in keeping socks on in cold weather and they did the job. Now that she is older and once she starts walking I am going to have her fitted at stride rite. She has really small feet and I think I am going to have a hard time finding good walking shoes that fit. Right now she still fits in 6-9 month shoes.

We loved them.

Sure, the quailty isn't the same as Robeez, but you get what you pay for. And they wear them for such a short period of time...it just doesn't make sense to invest in Stride Rite quality until they're walking full-time. Save money on pre-walking shoes, because the SRs for walkers add up quickly.
