I would have not thought to look there for such little shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2568064 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 13:51:06 +0000 Ms. RV 2568064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After doing a little shoe shopping for LO I found that she is still is in 0-3 or 0-6 months sizes, which still have room in the toes. I talked to the daycare director today and explained the situation and she says that anything that I feel protects her feet is fine. What a relief! I'll probably send her too big shoes for outdoor play so her feet don't get wet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565274 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 13:37:06 +0000 Anagram 2565274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: this is a good review vid. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TVDEXkTcBM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TVDEXkTcBM</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565271 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 13:34:16 +0000 Anagram 2565271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pedipeds are the best for this. They have a very flexible sole, but the sole is totally rubber and waterproof, so going outside is fine. This aprticular style isn't that cute, but their girl styles are adorable and this shows the sole. There is a Pedipeds group on FB for resale. </p> [attach=2976/16/o8kjl4.300x211.pedipeds.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565219 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 12:40:11 +0000 krispi 2565219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target now sells Stride Rite starting at size 2. They also have some of the softer soled shoes like the picture above starting at 0-6 moths, I believe. </p> <p>My non-walking 9 month old is already in size 3, so that's not an issue I've had to deal with personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565178 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 11:57:46 +0000 PinkElephant 2565178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are the Pediped shoes in 0-6 months too big? Those were our faves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565177 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 11:55:19 +0000 gilmoregirl 2565177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stride Rite makes some sneakers in tiny sizes. We had a similar problem with my son when he learned to walk. I had him in a size 4 that was big, but the website shows some sneakers in crib sizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565063 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 09:35:44 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2565063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: it was tough. She was exclusively walking by nine months and wearing size 0-6 months. This was in the fall in Canada, wearing mocs just didn't cut it at the playground with wet cold leaves. Didn't feel right making her sit out because we couldn't find appropriate footwear, we ruined probably five pairs of soft soles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565048 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 09:07:14 +0000 SweetCaroline 2565048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: oh lordy! Those daycare rules :wink: I'd find shoes you like and get a doctor's note if daycare doesn't like the sole.</p> <p>ETA: I put DD in Stride Rite shoes once she was walking, and they definitely have a sole. However, she had size 5(!) feet. Any quality shoe will do, but gosh what cute petite feet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565042 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 08:56:32 +0000 pwnstar 2565042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SKR Smallers were great, and daycare was fine with them. (I would call them soft-er soled shoes, definitely not *soft* soled shoes.) The suede bottoms are sturdier/more substantial than what they sound like they would be (definitely not like the bottom of a moc), and the two rubber discs make up a good percentage of the actual bottom:</p> <p>[attach=6626/16/o8k6q8.232x217.Smaller.SKR.Bottom.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565039 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 08:55:53 +0000 snowjewelz 2565039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: Check out Jack &amp; Lily. It's Canadian company and their sole is between hard and soft. You can often find them on Gilt/Zuliliy, etc too. I got a pair of boots last year for DD and was very happy with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565034 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 08:47:36 +0000 Ms. RV 2565034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Not sure of they allow them but DD takes mocs off. She needs a closure like velcro or she'll take off shoes and put them in her mouth :bummed: </p> <p>@SweetCaroline: @MrsSRS: I asked this morning and they said they would have to see about soft soles, they would consider them on a case by case basis.</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: This is what I'm afraid that will happen. I'm hoping for a big growth spurt in the next two months!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2565011 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 08:03:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2565011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does daycare at least allow mocs? As a new/early walker that's what DD wore to daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564999 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 07:26:44 +0000 SweetCaroline 2564999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely soft soles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564962 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 06:07:34 +0000 MrsSRS 2564962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely soft soles! You don't want an early walker in a hard sole, and daycare should know that. A suede bottom should be plenty rugged for their playground. We love pediped originals, but I see they don't come small enough 😯 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564907 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 21:50:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2564907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a very early walker with very tiny feet. There weren't any options for walker shoes before size four. We had her in soft soles inside and too big walker shoes when outside. It sucked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564884 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 21:00:30 +0000 Smurfette 2564884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: if she is just starting to walk then she definitely needs the soft soled shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564881 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:55:44 +0000 Ms. RV 2564881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: She is very close to walking, I think. She has been letting go of what she's holding on to, moving one foot, then panicking and going back to holding on. Even if she isn't walking by then I want to protect her feet from the older toddlers as much as I can. I wish I could find tiny Keens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564878 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:49:59 +0000 Ms. RV 2564878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Oh that is a relief. According to the sizing she'd be a 0-6 months in SKR. When I put her in her size 2's she walks like a duck and I think the big size might discourage her from walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564874 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:47:30 +0000 Smurfette 2564874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: my LO wore them to day care when she first started walking. That small you aren't going to find hard soled and I definitely wouldn't buy shoes too big. Is she even walking? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564872 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:46:18 +0000 avivoca 2564872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: My daughter had teeny feet and they counted SKR smallers as real shoes. She was barely in a size 3 at that age. They were a little big, but she managed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564870 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:42:00 +0000 Ms. RV 2564870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: All the SKR in her size had a suede bottom with rubber (for lack of a better word) accents. Do you think they are rugged enough to count as "real" shoes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564865 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:37:02 +0000 Smurfette 2564865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>See Kai Smaller has great sturdy soft bottom shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-shoes-for-tiny-feet#post-2564862 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:27:53 +0000 Ms. RV 2564862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's feet are about 3/8 inch too short for a Size 2 shoe, but she'll be required to wear real shoes to daycare when she turns one year in two months. Her little feet are still roomy in Size 1.5 crib shoes. Has anyone ever seen non-crib shoes in 1.5? I doubt she'll grow that much in two months to fit into her size 2 Carters. Or do I just put her in big shoes? </p>
