What are the best baby shoes for my girl to learn to walk in?

My daughter is 10 months and is starting to walk. I am wondering what kinda of shoes that would be good for her to learn to walk with approprite traction and being able to feel the ground through the shoes and all that jazz. What kinds did you try? i have looked at striderite, robeeze and those kinds of shoes. what else is good?

What are the best baby shoes for my girl to learn to walk in?
The best shoes I%26#039;ve found is from Stride Rite. The sole is very soft, unlike any other shoes you%26#039;ll find. They are pricey though, but well worth it. They have shoes for different levels, crawlers, cruisers...etc.

Reply:If u read parenting magazines it will tell u that kids learn to walk better without shoes. There feet actually touching gives them more balance. Report It

Reply:that would be her bare feet. It%26#039;s much more comfortable, but I would recomend that they have very flexible heels
Reply:Well, I know you said that you don%26#039;t have her wear shoes in the house, but you shouldn%26#039;t actually have her wear shoes at all. The shoes make it so that she can not feel the %26#039;ground%26#039; under her feet, but also they restrict her foot movement, they%26#039;re uncomfortable for her, and they can cause her to have flat feet. The shoes will minipulate the way her feet grow and her feet will form to those shoes. The best thing you can do is have her feel bare, or just with socks until she starts to walk (don%26#039;t try to teach her to walk outside were she could get hurt), and after she begins to walk get first steps walking shoes.


I hope this is helpful, feel free to contact me.
Reply:I was told that ROBEEZ are good. Check out their website @ www.robeez.com
Reply:unless they%26#039;re going outside, your kids don%26#039;t need shoes at all. the only shoes they should be wearing are just plain old sneakers.





%26quot;wedges, inserts, high backs, reinforced heels, special arches, and other features designed to shape ans support the feet make shoes more expensive, but have no proven benefit for the average child.so look instead for comfortable shoes with non-skid soles that will help your baby avoid slipping on smooth floors; sneakers are fine, but remember that their feet will be growing very rapidly...so check the fit monthly during this period.%26quot;
Reply:Some doctors say the white, ankle-high, hard-soled shoes. Others say nothing.. barefeet better.


I personally had my kids walk bare-footed %26#039;til they got the hang of it. Also, there are no-slip socks that are great for little ones.. esp. on hardwood or lino floors!
Reply:your child doesnt need shoes to learn how to walk....barefoot is just fine, but if you do choose shoes, chose one with a light sole.
Reply:Our doctor always said no shoes! Don%26#039;t buy any until they are walking really good! Then light weight stuff! God BLess You all!
Reply:No Shoes. If you insist on shoes, or for outside:

Reply:No shoes. Dont put shoes on your baby to walk. It will just make it harder and a longer process. Just wait untill she gets walking donw, then go find her some cute shoes!
Reply:Shoes aren%26#039;t neccessary for a baby learning to walk. It can actually hinder them and cause them to have problems with their feet if you happen to get shoes that aren%26#039;t flexible enough. Let her enjoy being barefoot!
Reply:I%26#039;ve found it best not to put shoes on when they learn to walk. If you need shoes (like outside) Soft ones are the best, they give room and flexibility.
Reply:striderite is tried and true for years i have three children all teenagers now but that%26#039;s all i used, however different times different opinions. whatever you decide be it striderite or consulting your doctor remember your child%26#039;s feet is their foundation and foundations should be strong and solid. my mother always said %26quot;IF YOUR FEET HURT, YOUR WHOLE BODY HURTS%26quot; the foundation holds up the structure if the foundation is weak, well you know the rest anyway a hard shoe in my opinion would be best, it will help form the foot. try asking a pediatric podiatrist they mat have an excellent opinion on shoes for new walkers. good luck and since your child is a girl never let her wear shoes that are too small or too large NO MATTER HOW CUTE OR HOW GOOD THE SALE.. REMEMBER SHOES FORM OUR FEET!
