They held up really nicely, but I don't think they would be super suited for outside wear (I'm guessing they aren't super weather resistant). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2775283 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 10:04:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2775283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no constructive things to say except I waned to awwww at these itty bitty feet :heart: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2775117 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 06:13:01 +0000 anonysquire 2775117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you ladies :) I think he's adorable too :) the smallest size at old navy don't fit, but I will keep trying other places. I was so happy to find a pair of tiny newborn shoes at target but they are even too big and so slippery. (Ignore the pants situation. We were ill prepared for the cold weather so I had to throw him in his brothers hand me downs and they don't fit yet) </p> [attach=1857/17/ows75p.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2775102 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 21:33:12 +0000 ottilie 2775102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would look for leather moccasins. Also possibly some shoes that are crib shoes.... we had some for my son that were soft but had grippy things on the soles from Old Navy. Not sure what sizes they came in but worth looking at maybe to see if any newborn sized crib shoes are just the same as ones for older babies and have soles you can walk on (he used those shoes as he learned to walk). </p> <p>And yes, he is adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2775100 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 21:24:00 +0000 Ms. RV 2775100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once you get to Size 1, Payless has shoes with real soles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2775099 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 20:58:54 +0000 pastemoo 2775099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nordstrom and Nordstrom rack have size 0, 1,2, 3, etc, including some with real soles.

My daughter wears hers exclusively and they are really non slip! </p> <p>She has small feet (15 months, probably a size 2-3) and it's hard to find real shoes for sure. Especially ones that stay on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774934 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 13:29:42 +0000 travellingbee 2774934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh-he is sooooo cute!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774923 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 12:57:53 +0000 youboots 2774923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the Carters line- they come tiny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774922 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 12:29:05 +0000 Mommy Finger 2774922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New Balance has small shoes.

He does have some of the crib sized freshly picked and they are way too big. His foot is also really narrow. He has the opposite of my wide feet haha. I hadn't even thought of a shoe maker. I'll have to check what's around me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774873 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 09:22:11 +0000 Beehive 2774873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I don't have any shoe tips, but just wanted to say that he's SO cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774861 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 08:29:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2774861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Have you measured his feet? Most infant shoes are show in inches/cm. It looks like PP starts at 4" for size 18 (EU sizes). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774858 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 08:18:50 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2774858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the shoe maker idea on a pair of robeez or some bing similar. Nothing too stiff but something that grips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774850 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 07:07:44 +0000 catlady 2774850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moc slippers with a non slip sole might work. I know Hanna Andersson makes them in all sizes including newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774849 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 06:53:33 +0000 erinbaderin 2774849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would newborn sized moccasins work? The bottoms aren't sturdy like real soles but they're leather so not as slippy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774847 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 06:29:32 +0000 Cole 2774847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some made on Etsy that had a nice suede bottom that had a decent amount of grip to them. Maybe you could check there. They weren't much more than buying robeez and they were less than freshly picked (which could be a decent option too, a lot of new walkers do really well in them.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774845 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 06:20:38 +0000 looch 2774845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about asking a shoe maker what they can do? They have those heavy duty sewing machines and glue, they can probably put a decent sole on the bottom of something for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774844 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 05:42:10 +0000 PinkElephant 2774844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about taking puffy paint and painting gripper dots on the bottom of newborn shoes that fit him well? I did this wth DD2's footed pjs because she hadn't reached the size where they had grippers on the feet when she started standing, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774836 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 01:00:20 +0000 Kemma 2774836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.bobux.co.nz/baby" rel="nofollow">https://www.bobux.co.nz/baby</a></p> <p>Check out the Bobux range of shoes, they go down pretty small! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774835 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 00:39:21 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2774835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recommend Swedish "mockasiner". They are sturdy lined socks with leather bottoms made for walking on wooden or tiled floors. But people used them for newborns for extra warm toes. I noticed that the fancy British made ones (that say they're Swedish) aren't as flexible as the normal ones found in the stores. They definitely have them in newborn sizes. Stores that sell them:</p> <p>H&amp;M<br /> Lindex<br /> Polarn O. Pyret</p> <p>We especially like the ones from Lindex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-newborn-or-smaller-walking-shoes#post-2774834 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 23:51:43 +0000 anonysquire 2774834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help please!! I'd love to find some shoes with real soles for my son. He was wearing American girl doll shoes for a little bit but they are made weird and too sturdy for his poor feet. He loves to stand and the only newborn shoes I can find have the fabric slippery bottoms. </p> [attach=1857/17/owo067.450x600.image.jpeg]
