They didn't have a huge selection where I went. Especially since lo's feet are so big and most kids are walking for awhile and don't needs soft soles by this time..... this was actually the only soft sole shoe they had in her size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-279020 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 07:13:17 +0000 mediagirl 279020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They will probably be the white sandal type shoes from Stride Rite. I figure she won't need shoes until she's one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-278989 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 05:17:40 +0000 SugarplumsMom 278989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Soooo cute! Great find!</p> <p>I found a tons of Robeez type shoes on Ebay. They're leather and soft with cute styles and cost just the fraction of the price.</p> <p>Search: "leather baby shoes" and a bunch will come up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-278976 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 04:07:43 +0000 heffalump 278976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: I was lucky this time.

We buy a lot of our baby clothing for consignment as well. I actually have to stay out of there sometimes, too many cute things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-278543 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:28:55 +0000 heffalump 278543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Ministar. I think you can get them at Target for around $20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-278506 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:08:03 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 278506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought him a couple pairs of Pumas because you can use your 20% off coupons on them when you get them at BRU. I think I paid $26.00each... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-278417 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:59:09 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 278417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Oh what a great idea!

I was thinking I'd buy her something pink and flowery, but I'm glad that I ended up with these. They'll actually match all of her outfits :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-278264 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 12:21:04 +0000 mrsjyw 278264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: tooo cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-278258 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 12:18:10 +0000 heffalump 278258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FYI, I bought her shoes :) I went to the consignment store.... I just couldn't see myself spending $40 on shoes that she will grow out of so soon. I did go to Stride Rite to get her fitted though so I know that she's in the right size. I'm in LOVE with her new shoes, they have a soft sole and are perfect for her first pair.... for only $4.99!</p> <p>[attach=1561/12/m9mqqa.600x414.Day-251.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-271856 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 06:30:32 +0000 MamaG 271856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO's are close in age. She has See Kai Run shoes and while adorable and seemingly comfortable, I don't think they were the right choice (it makes me sad). Since she's still crawling and walking, I think the added reinforcement of the wrap around sole on the toe is very practical in Stride Rite SRT's and Pediped. </p> <p>I just ordered some Stride Rites from amazon.com. They were cheaper than Stride Rite directly (and there was a 20% on time coupon code for subscribing to amazon's shoe email). They ended up being about $27. Still slightly pricey, but better than $40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-271809 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 23:57:21 +0000 Noguri 271809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was six months pregnant, we passed by a babies r us that was closing - found a pair of brown sandals which looked just like a pair of sandals my husband wears (that I am NOT fond of), so had to get it just for pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-271804 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 23:38:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 271804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother just gifted her her first pair of pink Crocs :) too cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-271771 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:57:27 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 271771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a pair of velcro pumas. LOVE THOSE.<br /> His first walking shoes Pedipeds. Loved them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-271767 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:48:44 +0000 mrstilly 271767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: having a good consignment store is so handy! The one near us is very picky, so everything is in excellent shape. I just wish there was as much selection for toddlers as infants, but I guess toddlers are rougher on clothes and there is less gifting/ over-buying at that age as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-271092 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:29:13 +0000 heffalump 271092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly: dh and I finally decided to go to the consignment store too. We went to stride rite to get her fitted and shoes are $40. She'll grow out of them in a couple of months and she's not even walking so she won't even get wear out of them. I'm sure the ones at the consignment store wont have much wear either. The one I go to only takes things that are name brand and in good shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-271075 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 20:57:08 +0000 mrstilly 271075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS had a pair of robeeze and a pair of Velcro converse sneakers before he was walking but then we got him a pair of soft soled shoes from Target. The Robeeze were good and stayed on well. I got them at purocal second hand store. I couldnt see spending $30 or $40 on a name brand pair of soft soled shoes when he'd outgrow them so fast. I am surfing eBay and Craigslist, as well as checking my local second hand store for shoes for him for the fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-270995 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 17:19:27 +0000 sulli301 270995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had tiny bunny newborn sized slippers in the hospital :) But her first real shoe shoes were Converse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-270926 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 15:04:46 +0000 loveisstrange 270926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C's first shoes were NB sized pink Converse!

It was worth it to me to go to a proper store and get a measurement from a professional. I bought one pair there and ordered others online where I could get them a bit cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-270884 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 13:18:27 +0000 regberadaisy 270884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think for a every day pair you have to splurge. But for the fun or fancy ones you can go cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-270804 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:42:15 +0000 Andrea 270804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought her Stride Rite ones. They are good quality and fit well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-first-shoes#post-270798 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:39:16 +0000 chopsuey 270798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got Lo a pair of soft sole livvie and luca's..<br /> Size 12-18mos actually still fits.

I find that with Stride Rite, they are light and bendy so she can actually walk properly. Love them! I bought LO's from Winners (Canadian equivalent to TJ Maxx?). </p>
