Baby shoes, which ones are good for a 1 year old who just started walking?

by himself but still holds our hands pretty often. i heard i should get soft shoes, but are the stride rite soft enough, until now he had the robeez booties for when he walked on our hand.


please help, how soft do they have to be??? those i saw are not as soft as the robeez, but still softer than firm ones, but not so bendable .





thanks

Yes soft weightless shoes! Big heavy ones will only make him clumsier! Wait for the studly deisgns and stuff untill he has teh walking mastered a lil more! :D
Reply:non slip becuase he just started walking so his balance will still be off for a while.
Reply:Robeez are great for slippers but not as walking shoes. Your childs feet need to conform to a regular shoe now that he is walking. He needs something to support his ankles as he has little control over those muscles right now. The problem with Robeez is that they allow the childs foot to stay in it%26#039;s normal shape. I know that sounds good, but unless your child is going to go barefoot or wear soft soles all his life, it isn%26#039;t practical.


My son wears a shoe made by %26quot;Minisoft%26quot;. Take him to a childs shoe store and they will give you something appropriate for his first shoe.
Reply:Stride rite has shoes for different stages from crawling to running. I tried the cheap shoes and my son couldn%26#039;t walk in them. The soles were to hard and didn%26#039;t bend. He walked like he had clown feet. I had to buy him stride rite shoes. He started going everywhere and had no trouble. He has done great in those so that is what I stuck with. Good luck in finding the perfect shoes for him.





p.s my son was walking at 9mo and was running by 11mo and is still going strong.LOL
Reply:I put my daughter in Gerber walking shoes. They are the white high tops. They give the ankle support and gives them firmer ground to stand on. You could also ask your peds doc.
