I have been wearing Merry People Bobbi’s for years and love them. My daughter has high sensory issues and we have never found a pair of shoes that she is willing to wear until these. I noticed she would try on my boots and stomp around the house-so we purchased the kids Bobbi’s to try. From a special needs Mama these shoes are actually life changing. She likes wearing them, she puts them on herself. We used to have daily meltdowns surrounding putting shoes on, not anymore! I knew from wearing them myself they were great shoes but I would I ever have thought that they would alleviate such a pressure and improve our quality of life to this degree. It’s also wet season here in Darwin, we have just had a cyclone and I don’t have to stress about wet feet or trashed shoes if she stomps through a puddle, she can really wear these. I dare say they will be passed down to little sister when she grows out of them-my first pair of Bobbi’s lasted me 9 years so I know they are durable. Thanks guys.
