After that, I sent her in Stride Rites so she could go out on the playground every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-2#post-2688572 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 22:01:52 +0000 snowjewelz 2688572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soft soled mocs from pulling up to actually walking; then real shoes shortly after. But for daycare in the beginning when I knew she wasn't really walking outside or anything I kept her in soft soles for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-2#post-2688552 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 20:04:23 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2688552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid didn't go to daycare so I did bare feet for a long time at home. She started walking at 11 months and didn't get shoes until her birthday as a gift and I didn't put them on her much because I didn't want to impede her walking. For kids that are out of the house at daycare I would definitely get something with a grippy leather type sole like robeez so they don't slip. Some days I still take off the socks from my 15 mo th old toddlers in the house. My daycare kid's parents sent him in some non-flexible shoes a few times and I just kept them off his feet the whole day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-2#post-2688549 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 20:00:56 +0000 Cole 2688549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter was crawling and pulling to stand during the summer so we were outside a lot so I put her in robeez type soft soles at that age just to protect her skin. You could also try skidders, they have a few varieties but I really like these because it's just an extra grippy sock, some have a soft sole and I'd probably skip those for inside. </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M0EVSPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1485651558&#038;sr=8-5&#038;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&#038;keywords=skidders+socks&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=41K47j-UKHL&#038;ref=plSrch" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M0EVSPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1485651558&#038;sr=8-5&#038;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&#038;keywords=skidders+socks&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=41K47j-UKHL&#038;ref=plSrch</a> </p> [attach=2228/17/okio5k.337x600.Screenshot_20170128-200045.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-2#post-2688540 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 18:45:24 +0000 Kemma 2688540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my babies went into leather soft soles when they started crawling (mainly to protect the tops of their feet when not at home). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-2#post-2688539 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 18:27:13 +0000 meadow 2688539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super! I've seen some kids at daycare with soft sole shoes &amp; wasn't sure if that was a necessity. I like the barefoot/socked foot for now. Thanks!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-2#post-2688532 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 17:55:20 +0000 sapphire 2688532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start shoes until she was walking outside around 12 months. We had a pair of See Kai Runs. I would just get non skid socks at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-2#post-2688526 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 17:48:55 +0000 LindsayLou 2688526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When they're walking outside. For my kiddo that was right at 1 year. She started standing and cruising at 7 months, but wasn't consistently walking until her birthday. She wanted to walk constantly after that, so shoes became necessary. But she is still barefoot or in socks inside at 17 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-2#post-2688514 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 16:36:35 +0000 peaches1038 2688514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep DS is almost 15 months and only wears shoes outside. Some kids at daycare wear shoes but it's best for them to be barefoot (or in socks) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-2#post-2688510 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 16:32:14 +0000 travellingbee 2688510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When he started walking outside, is when we started shoes. They learn to walk best in bare feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-2#post-2688508 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 16:30:36 +0000 meadow 2688508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok.....so when do babies wear shoes for a practical purpose....not just to look cute? DD is starting to stand up and I realized we might need to buy shoes at some point....haha. She is 8 months and had her first fall while standing at daycare (nothing bad at all) so I started wondering if her socks are too slippery (they have the size &amp; brand in grippy stuff...but does that do anything?)</p> <p>TIA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-392774 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 07:17:08 +0000 SugarplumsMom 392774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO kinda has big feet, so it throws everything off. For instance, she got a cute pair of pink Converse that should fit when she's maybe sitting up on her own or almost crawling, but they fit now at 4 months. They totally matched her outfit yesterday but her feet weren't ready to be confined yet (even though it had no sole) so she couldn't wear it and I tried ;D Yeh ... she probably won't ever get to wear them. By the time her feet relax, they'll be way too small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-392744 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 03:24:32 +0000 erinpye 392744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it just depends. My LO is super tall and wearing 12-18 month clothes at 7 months, but her feet are still 3-6 month sized. The feet in all of her footie pjs are huge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391923 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:28:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 391923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: hahaha I know right... I'll measure what LOs newborn feet were when he wakes up but I'm sure they were at least 2-3". His shoes he wears now measure 4.5" and he has about .5" of wiggle room, and they are size 4-4.5 so I'm assuming that's how it goes but idk!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391860 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:57:57 +0000 shopaholic 391860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: LOL! Can you imagine little 1" feet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391769 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:15:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 391769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I only figured that out cause I measured LO's foot! then I looked it up. I was so confused. however I don't think babies feet start out at one inch so maybe my theory is faulty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391664 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 13:20:13 +0000 shopaholic 391664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Oh! Thanks for sharing! I did not know that was how the sizing went! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391410 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 11:27:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 391410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on the brand. Pedipeds fit pretty true to size, I think they're a four and LO is 8 months - although there is definitely growing room. So I guess he's probably a 3.</p> <p>But he has a bunch of size 2 shoes and those fit.</p> <p>Most of the 6-12 mos shoes are huge on him. He has small feet.</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: it's inches. Size 4 is four inches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391357 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 10:56:10 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 391357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is six months old and the smallest size they make is huuugggeee on her. I don't get baby shoe sizing at all. They run HUGE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391215 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 07:56:46 +0000 heffalump 391215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's also in 18 and some 24 month clothes, she's never been in the right month clothes. She's in the 95th percentiles for height and weight. So of course she'll have big feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391212 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 07:54:47 +0000 heffalump 391212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo's feet are way bigger than average. She's 15 months and in a size 6. right now I think most babies wear a size 4. Just depends on the kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391148 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 02:04:50 +0000 T-Mom 391148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 0-6, 6-12 mo sizing fit fairly on track for my LOs but after that it gets a little dicey since you want the shoes to fit perfectly once they are walking. At 1yr DD was wearing a size 4 and DS is wearing a 5 at 14 mo. They don't have particularly wide or large feet, average I would say.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391133 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 01:24:35 +0000 shopaholic 391133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Humph! So interesting there's such a big variance in shoe sizes and fits! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391131 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 01:19:30 +0000 autumnlove 391131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 10 months, most size 1 shoes are too big( but too narrow) for my LO! There is an eight month old at daycare who is wearing size 4 shoes! :-)</p> <p>The only shoes that work for LO right now are 0-6 month size from See Kai Run's Smaller styles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-391128 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 01:13:41 +0000 Mrs. Bum 391128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, my experience is that the newborn size 1 or smaller fit for like a few days! My lo has big feet though too. 5 months weating socks for 6-12 months.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-fit-shoe-sizes-by-month#post-383403 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:40:23 +0000 shopaholic 383403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always see the baby shoe sizes listed by a number and then a month range. But in my eyes, the shoes often look SO BIG for what I think a baby/kid would wear at that age. Maybe because they're wide for chubby little feet? Maybe because they wear socks inside? IDK. Just wondering how often those recommended months sizing actually matched when they could wear it? </p>
