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>
