Last year DS started walking in the fall and we did fine with just shoes and not boots. He was just too little and too new to walking to be walking in snow and slush. We would carry him or put him in the stroller instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-shoes-for-an-early-walker#post-2299866 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 19:16:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 2299866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The local baby store here recommended Stonz boots, like actual boots, not the ones that just sort of go over their shoes. They are really light weight and flexible, but they are expensive for something that might not get worn all that much (our winter last year had so much snow my toddler literally couldn't walk it, it was way taller than her and I could barely get over some of the snow piles). We had a hand me down pair of sorels which were fine and kept her warm and dry but we're sort of cumbersome for an early walker. </p> <p>These are the Stonz they recommended. </p> [attach=2307/15/nv5nez.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-shoes-for-an-early-walker#post-2299860 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 19:12:18 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2299860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>will she be walking in snow a lot? snow shoes are really bulky, but the ones from target are pretty light. i would go with those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-shoes-for-an-early-walker#post-2299855 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 19:09:19 +0000 Bao 2299855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: I just picked up the little Ugg knock offs at target for our 1.5 year old. We get a lot of snow here so I wanted something more than shoes but not so much as a bulky winter boot for everyday use. Maybe something like that would work? They are pretty light weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-shoes-for-an-early-walker#post-2297382 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 15:09:13 +0000 Cole 2297382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am trying to figure out what kind of shoes to buy for winter, she has just started taking tentative steps and we have wet, snowy and slushy winters here. Do I just buy regular shoes (likely softer soles like See Kai Run smaller) and buy Stonz to go over top or will that be awkward for her? Bogs? We will definitely be outside most days so we will need something. </p>
