Their Story: “Rileyroos’s design inspiration comes from a combination of European fashion trends and the American spirit and casualness. We designed the line to imitate barefoot walking and to protect little feet. The sole of a Rileyroos shoe is flexible and its rubber-padded sole curls above the toes to provide leverage as a child begins crawling. Unlike many heavy or bulky first walking shoes, Rileyroos’ lightweight construction and protective bottoms support a child’s foot as he or she starts walking and provides traction to prevent falls on slippery surfaces.”
What We Think: These shoes have been assembled beautifully! They have a little less of a sole than the Jack & Lily shoes we reviewed last week, but have more support than a Robeez slipper. These shoes have plenty of flexibility for little crawlers and cruisers and durability of the leather and construction is obvious. The toes of the shoe just barely turn up which is perfect for babies development. The adorable stitching detail on each shoe adds to its charm.
These shoes come in four sizes: 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months, and 18-24 months. They state on their site that the shoes run a little big and I found this to be quite true. The 3-6 month seemed closer to a 6 month shoe to me. Most of the shoes run $30 while the bootie shoes run $35.
My personal favorite are in the new fall collection— for girls, the Mary Jane in Tweed. And for boys, the Sportie in Tiger.
