It was the one shoe he couldn't take off.<br /> He wore Emu soft sole boots and shoes when he was first walking but it's too hot for that now ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-931226 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 07:02:12 +0000 heffalump 931226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the high top toms. They're very supportive for their feet and have a soft sole. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-931153 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 04:52:25 +0000 808love 931153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like pediped dakotas. We got them about six months after walking. The line is good though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-921176 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 05:07:20 +0000 lamariniere 921176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Robeez were great for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-920493 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 17:38:43 +0000 cranberryapple 920493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: We saw some crocs at Costco, but they were too big for DS. This whole shoe thing is confusing with so many options! Plus, sizing is difficult for me to gauge since I'm not sure how much bigger is too big. </p> <p>@beesknees: I ordered a pair of 12-18 month Robeezs, and they were waaaay too big! I'm gonna size down, but the good thing is that LO didn't seem to mind them on his feet. :) I'm just glad to know they can last even while he's fully walking! </p> <p>@regberadaisy: I ordered a pair of See Kai Run Smallers, so we'll see how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-917434 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:03:39 +0000 bpcmarj 917434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for SKR smaller. But, now that she is fully walking she will wear pretty much anything :) I love our stride rite mary janes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-917354 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:44:48 +0000 winniebee 917354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like See Kai Run smallers also. Flexible sole, cute, good for early walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-917348 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:43:04 +0000 loveisstrange 917348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like Robeez also. Cs favorite are her Converse, she is willing to walk the most in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-917282 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:24:32 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 917282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked Robeez </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-917257 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:17:10 +0000 regberadaisy 917257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: see Kai run smaller!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-917246 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:13:55 +0000 beesknees 917246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>they can totally wear the soft sole leather shoes when they are fully walking. I was super surprised with how well the Robeez and Livie and Luca brands held up - and on concrete too. So well the same shoes will easily be reusable for the next kiddo.<br /> I highly recommend those two brands and keeping your LO in soft sole shoes for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-916745 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 17:03:34 +0000 SugarplumsMom 916745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent a whole lot of time trying to figure out the same thing and decided to get Stride Rite duckies based on reviews. They're pre-walkers with a flexible rubber sole and leather upper. </p> <p>I bought them in advance and online and turned out I estimated wrong on her size and they were too big. DD ended up wearing soft soled leather shoes that she had for months. When I first reintroduced her duckies, she hated them! They're a little heavy (especially compared to what she was used to) and let her wear fake Crocs from TCP that are also too big -- but she LOVES those! I think it's because they're so light. </p> <p>So after all of that, I think I'm going to buy her some Crocs. Not even in a cute color because I want them cheap since it'll be her current size and I doubt it'll last 2 months. </p> <p>Sorry for the novel, but it just feels like I've been in a never ending battle with her shoes and hopefully someone can learn from me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-shoes-should-i-buy-for-my-almost-walking-lo#post-916689 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 16:40:58 +0000 cranberryapple 916689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 11.5 months old and can walk across the room before losing his balance. I haven't gotten shoes for him yet, but was wondering what I should get since he is in this transition phase of almost walking, but not quite yet. If I buy soft-soled leather shoes, will he not have that much more time in them? Can he still wear those shoes once he is fully walking? Or should I just move onto the more supportive shoes? Which ones would you recommend? I know, lotsa questions here! </p>
