Any one try the Preschoolians Running Jumping Barefoot line?

I think I'm sticking with the IWB. I'm thus far not impressed by the styles shown in the new line. I've also gotten a little nervous about other people's experiences with the company, but I still keep finding myself coming back every time DD outgrows her sport mary janes.

So any feedback on these?

Haven't tried preschoolians yet and have also been sort of put off by the feedback. However I was wondering what IWB is?

I just got some SKR shoes and I love them!! So does Isabella!

IWB is the I'm Walking Barefoot Preschoolians line.

I have been eyeing the new designs, but my daughter isn't a size 22 just yet. I'd give the new version a try... if they don't perform up to your standards - exchange them for the older line.

I know others have had great trouble with Preschoolians, but in every case I have dealt with them they have been great. I got a free pair of their shoes (regular ones not ebay) for a shipping snafu in March and also got a free second pair by answering a question on Jeff's (the VP) blog. I have also returned a pair that didn't hold up as expected and they prompted replaced them. When a pair was too big, they offered to ship a smaller size at 40% off (or so)... I don't know that they have made much money off of me, but I am a loyal customer and I really like their shoes.

Everytime I feel the flexibility of other shoes, they just don't compare... some I felt today at The Children's Place were Mary Janes that were stiff as boards... I don't know how they can even sell those...

I also think small, innovative companies deserve some support as compared to whatever giant firm owns SR... I got my daughter fitted for shoes there and she needed a wide in some styles. But they tell me in the store - oh we don't carry wides in stock, we have to order those... which means getting a pair of shoes could involve at least 2 trips to a store with a squirmy toddler in tow...

Anyway - just my 2 cents worth... I'll be curious to hear when one of us actually gets the new RJB's in hand!
