Yes! They are Robeez! Now I can’t wait to have LITTLE FEET to put them on!
Also, when we have LITTLE FEET, we will count out the piggies and waggle them each as we go. Many, many times.

Excellent still-life photo–the yellow daffodils set off the purple snails nicely. 🙂 I’m glad you like them.
Seems like Robeez are as popular elsewhere as they are in my corner of Vermont. They were practically required wearing when the kids we know here were around 6 to 18 months. My daughter had the dolphin Robeez when she was 6-12 months and blue and teal songbird Robeez when she was 12-18 months. Then she graduated to “real” shoes–sneakers, Mary Janes, snow boots.
What I appreciated most about Robeez, aside from the cute designs and how good they are for new crawlers’ and walkers’ feet, was that they are extremely difficult for babies to remove. For some reason, babies are obsessed with removing socks and booties and dropping them over the edge of the stroller when you’re not looking.
