We’ve got our most refreshing Robeez lineup ever! If there is a particular size (they’re made for children up to 4yrs!) or style you’re looking for-we’re more than happy to take your special order. Also, because these great shoes are so long lasting, gently used Robeez are always hot with our shoppers, bring yours in!	New Robeez for Summer!
And why do so many Cherrytown parents and their children love Robeez? Here are just a few reasons: Secure: they slip on and stay on, thanks to strong yet supple elasticized ankle bands. Skid-resistant: textured suede sole prevents slipping. Washable: easily kept looking fresh and bright with occasional washing. Durable: the quality leather and lining makes Robeez footwear durable enough to stand up well to the toughest of toddlers. Comfortable: the soft leather cushions and protects, flexes with each step; and it’s breathable to keep feet cool and comfy. Safe: Robeez enforces rigorous testing on all its leather to ensure it meets the world’s most stringent safety standards.

Due to an 18% increase in our rent, we are forced to adjust our consignment split to reflect the industry standard of 50% store credit or 40% in cash. This change will go into effect July 1st and will not impact the items that you are currently consigning with us. We have discussed this reality with many of you and appreciate your continued support. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email us: ctk@CherrytownKids.com or give us a call in the shop: 569.1010.
