The sole is soft but rubber, so LO can walk on damp sidewalks/grass whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710484 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 22:26:31 +0000 pinkcupcake 2710484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wear freshly picked moccasins. Most Peds recommend soft sole so we will wear Mocs prob until he's 1.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710469 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 22:08:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2710469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I checked and yep, we have to send shoes to daycare when he moves to the next room. In the next room they go out to the playground twice a day and shoes are required outside.</p> <p>Thanks for the Robeez rec! They are kinda cute :happy: <a href="https://www.myrobeez.com/baby-shoes/mini-shoez/?search_query=&#038;page=1&#038;limit=21&#038;sort=featured&#038;Gender=Boys&#038;category=326&#038;is_category_page=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.myrobeez.com/baby-shoes/mini-shoez/?search_query=&#038;page=1&#038;limit=21&#038;sort=featured&#038;Gender=Boys&#038;category=326&#038;is_category_page=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710256 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 13:51:29 +0000 Kemma 2710256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would put baby into soft soles and put off proper shoes for as long as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710250 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 13:46:31 +0000 peaches1038 2710250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 16 months and only wears shoes outside. He started wearing soft soled shoes around 13 months and now he wears stride rites or bog boots. He started walking at about a year. Even at daycare, I have them put on his shoes before going out and taken them off once they come back in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710233 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 13:25:41 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2710233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's daycare teachers have already prepped me he will move to the next class around his birthday even if he's not walking yet. The 1 year olds use the same playground as the younger infants, but maybe not at the same time. I will ask if shoes are required. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710229 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 13:20:08 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2710229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote wait as long as you can to buy shoes! That's my mum's advice anyway so you avoid buying as many shoes..hopefully. And also shoes are the worst. I'd love to never have to wear shoes! My daughter was walking at 11 months and I did socks or bare feet inside and outside, but we were just on grass outside. She was given a pair of shoes for her first birthday and wore them for a bit and then rain and winter hit so I got stonz and later winter boots. Even now I forget them sometimes and she either has to be held or walk stores in her socks which I'm cool with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710217 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 12:54:28 +0000 PawPrints 2710217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We skipped soft shoes entirely, since there is no need inside the house. We started her wearing structured shoes when she started actually walking independently outside the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710164 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 11:38:08 +0000 wrkbrk 2710164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I resisted shoes for a long time (unless soft soled robeez or freshly picked mocs). Finally, daycare insisted because they play outside on the playground. He has been in real shoes for about a month now (only at school HA) so he was 14.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710102 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 10:31:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2710102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 was in soft soled moc's by the time she was pulling up and also when she started daycare at 10 months. She was full on walking after 11 months and we waited till a little after her 1st birthday to get her in hard soles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710076 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 10:09:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2710076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get him some shoes with soft soles for when he will be walking or pulling up outside. I would keep him in bare feet or socks at home and daycare. :) I love shoes on little ones and my DD has been walking for 9 months, but she still goes with bare feet as much as possible. They even take their shoes off for most of the day at school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710074 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 10:05:56 +0000 looch 2710074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't like the robeez with the suede bottoms, they never fit my son's feet! I instead used the robeez mini shoes and then we went to athletic sneakers as they had the best range in wide sizes at the time. </p> <p>I am not a shoe person when it comes to my son. He's always literally had 2 pairs of shoes at most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2710058 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 09:58:14 +0000 Rocker2014 2710058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started walking at the start of a New England winter, so she was in shoes immediately due to the cold. We used Robeez at home and daycare to start, but once she was going outside on the playground at school we bought Stride Rite early walker shoes with flexible rubber soles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2709987 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 08:32:09 +0000 kayla0416 2709987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is exactly when we got shoes for DD. She has been in Stride Rite's now for about a month and just started walking in the last week. Our daycare requires babies to be in shoes when they can walk (I think just to get used to having to wear them?) so we wanted to get them before we needed to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2709967 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 08:04:46 +0000 autumnleaves 2709967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy them now. You could start with something like robeez or stride rite slo motion/early walker shoe. Daycare required shoes at 1 year so they could go outside so I went ahead and had little one wear the stride rites before he was walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2709942 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 07:04:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 2709942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started putting them in soft sole shoes like robeez at that stage, but only when we were out of the home. At home it is always socks or bare feet. We start flexible soles like stride rite once they are really walking and playing outside at the playground and stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-shoes#post-2709939 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 06:57:27 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2709939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is walking, mostly straight leg, with a push walker and is approaching his first birthday. He cruises all the time. He's either in socks or barefoot on the hardwood when he uses his walker. Is it time for shoes? When did you put your little one in shoes? </p>
