Flexible enough for early walkers but enough oomph to deal with the rocks and sticks and what have you that he likes to cruise through!</p> <p>Also D's been in this "almost walking" phase for like three months. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1839137 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 14:40:14 +0000 jetsa 1839137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love SKR Smaller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1839134 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 14:39:15 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1839134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got a ton of adorable soft sole shoes for LO from Kohls. They are called Tommy Tickle. Most them aren't neutral colors exactly but they are toned down &amp; it was easy to find a few pairs that would go with all of her outfits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1839118 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 14:27:45 +0000 Ra 1839118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never bought early walker shoes for B because they aren't my style (the shame!). He has a pair of Toms, a pair of Vans, and a pair of high top chucks and he walks like a pro in all three. I bought him a pair of Stride Rite initially and ended up returning them because I didn't notice any difference in his walking. He's barefoot 95% of the time so he became steady that way. We've never had any issues with tripping or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1839048 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 13:57:20 +0000 Kemma 1839048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bobux soft soles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838535 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:28:57 +0000 lamariniere 1838535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yes! I was going to suggest the same shoes. DS had them as he learned to walk and wore them for maybe three months after he was really steady. I like that they have good traction so he wouldn't slip on hardwood floors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838428 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:45:35 +0000 mrsjyw 1838428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for SKR smallers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838413 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:43:05 +0000 lawbee11 1838413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SKR smaller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838373 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:34:23 +0000 immabeetoo 1838373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a plain blue tennis shoe from Robeez and their brown boot that I loved. We moved on to pediped next once he was more confident, then to see kai run. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838347 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:24:30 +0000 Pumuckl 1838347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you checked etsy for robeez like shoes? I know there are a lot of people making them. (I searched for "soft soled leather baby shoes" - I believe). </p> <p>We have a pair that are a simple dark moss green. I find they go with everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838334 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:21:14 +0000 looch 1838334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not like the Robeez with the sueded sole, they would leave red marks on my son's chunky feet.</p> <p>Instead, I found Robeez Mini Shoez. Those are more like tranditional shoes, with a wider and more flexible opening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838332 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:20:34 +0000 Charm54 1838332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like robeez, they feel "slipper like" while still staying on her feet. That being said, I wish they came in more neutral colours! Especially for girls, every.single.option is pink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838326 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:19:35 +0000 .twist. 1838326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love robeez and they were great for early walking! They don't always have the greatest pictures/prints but they are super practical! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838325 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:19:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 1838325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is at the very same point- she is so close to walking but not there yet. We have robeez but they get twisted on her chubby feet somehow, so I prefer the skr smallers (that I bought from @Smurfette: !) They seem a little sturdier while still being really soft. I just bought a pair of Livie and Luca on baby steals yesterday in the next size up, which I think are similar. </p> <p>Once she is actualy walking a lot I will probably bring her to a store to get fitted but for now I'm trying to save money on shoes she will outgrow before she is even walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838319 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:17:49 +0000 hellobeeboston 1838319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We loved the Robeez </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838315 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:16:55 +0000 Adira 1838315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love SKR Smaller. They're soft soled and what Xander used to get used to shoes. They were perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838306 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:13:19 +0000 Smurfette 1838306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one pair of Stride Ride and the rest were SKR Smaller. I prefere SKR. Stride Ride annoys me with the half sizes. Just trying to get parents to buy more. Plus SKR has more designs that are neutral.<br /> @Boheme: They have a plain blue and red pair on sale right now<br /> <a href="http://www.seekairun.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&#038;keywords=Sale" rel="nofollow">http://www.seekairun.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&#038;keywords=Sale</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-shoes-for-almost-walkerearly-walker#post-1838295 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 09:08:59 +0000 Boheme 1838295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is on the verge of walking, and we've honestly never put shoes on him. I'm guessing he'll be a new walker this fall. What soft soles would you recommend? I'll probably go with SKRs when he's steady, but looking for something besides Robeez in the meantime. Why do Robeez have all these crazy patterns that don't match anything?! </p>
