Love those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770650 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 10:32:26 +0000 nwm 2770650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: @Jennibenni: thank you!! i am a religious new balance wearer myself so maybe that is an obvious call, glad to hear they hold up for kiddos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770571 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 21:22:46 +0000 Jennibenni 2770571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're on our third size of new balance sneakers, they fit well, are supportive and comfy, have held up well, and he likes them. We've also had sauconys and I wouldn't repurchase those, the quality was not nearly as good and they seemed less flexible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770569 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 20:45:16 +0000 MamaCate 2770569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nwm: we like stride rite early walker shoes. I think they are called SRT or something similar. But they can be pricey! We have had good luck finding stride rite at Nordstrom rack on sale ($30ish instead of $45 at the mall). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770542 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 16:45:17 +0000 nwm 2770542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shree1990: that's really nice of you to say--thanks!</p> <p>@erinbaderin: @Alba4: @MrsADS: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @Foodnerd81: @bhbee: @snowjewelz: thanks !! so many good options, but especially if i go up only a half size i'll probably need to get new ones by october. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770522 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 15:16:07 +0000 snowjewelz 2770522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my toddler in New Balance sneakers. Love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770498 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 14:33:39 +0000 bhbee 2770498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love pedipeds and see kai run (I find skr wider) if you can find a good sale. Pedipeds are my favorite for sneaker style and they hold up really well. My dd had toms that were great but I'm not sure they'd hold up as well for my wild ds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770491 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 14:07:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 2770491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done mostly stride rite for that stage. Not always the most stylish but cute enough and they have held up. I also like the stride rite "Surprize" brand at target, if they are on sale. I have girls so do a lot of the casual Mary Jane style so they can wear them with dresses or pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770489 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 14:00:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2770489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have tried Pedipeds and Carter's flexi sole brand. I prefer Pedipeds. @erinbaderin: those StrideRites are stylish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770479 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 13:09:41 +0000 MrsADS 2770479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree w/others, see kai run, Nike free. We went to the Nordstrom in our mall and tried on several different kinds. We basically just buy him a new pair every few months because he grows out of them and by that point they are totally beat up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770475 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 12:48:40 +0000 Alba4 2770475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stick to Stride Rite, but my kids have wide feet so my choices are limited.</p> <p>I bought Nike recently and I'm not psyched with the quality. Also the Saucony tend to look worn so fast. My boys are hard on their shoes though (we live in the surburbs and play outside daily for hours). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770461 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 11:54:21 +0000 erinbaderin 2770461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got these for my 17 month old when he started to walk consistently - before this he was mostly in moccasins. I love these because the Velcro strap gives you some adjustability depending on how wide their feet are. </p> <p><a href="https://www.striderite.com/en/soft-motion-cameron-shoe/27792B.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.striderite.com/en/soft-motion-cameron-shoe/27792B.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770457 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 11:46:44 +0000 Shree1990 2770457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toms are really nice. By the way, I like how you write. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770456 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 11:41:35 +0000 nwm 2770456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alphagam84: oh great call, thanks!</p> <p>has anyone tried toms for kids? i love them for myself, but also worried they would fall apart too quickly, and/or start to smell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770455 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 11:31:21 +0000 alphagam84 2770455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love the Nike Free's for our toddler. They are very flexible and have held up really well to constant wear and tear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770452 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 11:10:12 +0000 nwm 2770452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug @mrs. champagne both look like great options! thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770443 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 10:27:32 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2770443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked see Kai run at that age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770440 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 10:18:21 +0000 littlebug 2770440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved Pediped at that age. I usually waited for a sale, bought them from pedipedoutlet.com, or Carter's carries a few Pediped styles and you can use their 20% off over $40 or whatever deal they have going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-18-month-old#post-2770438 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 10:09:04 +0000 nwm 2770438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son is outgrowing his current shoe size so looking at what to get him next. he lived in the natives jefferson style shoes this summer, so i will probably get him another pair of those, but mainly otherwise was in sandals. looking for something that's a little more full coverage for fall but the right level of support for a little guy who is sometimes still toddling like a drunken sailor, although increasingly eager to run. would appreciate any recs! </p>
