R did ok in a pair on Sat but you could tell she wasn't comfortable yet. So we switched her back to soft soled.

@chopsuey: I am hoping to never get Crocs......is that possible?
@MsLipGloss: She walked fine in them then? No issues?

@Smurfette: hahahaah it's possible!
They're so convenient though and M was slipping them on and off by herself at a really young age

@Smurfette: No issues. I let her practice in them for a short period of time at home before I sent her to school in them. She loves to *stomp*!

DS was in his SKR smallers for the first four months (11-14 months) but we also had a pair of hardsoled SR boots that he would wear time to time during that period too.
He's 16 months now and wears hardsoled

Within a month or two, we switched over. It was actually on the suggestion of our daycare lady. The soft ones didn't help for walking outside on the sidewalk. At 18 months old, he's on his second pair of shoes (Stride Rite) in size 7.

We tried this weekend with the boys. It took them a while, but then they were walking pretty well. Like R, I don't think they were super comfortable yet though. My plan is to have them wear their hard-soled shoes on the weekends for a little while every day to help them adjust, but not send them to daycare yet in them.

@MsLipGloss: HAHAHA M thinks stomping is the BEST.EVER.
@Smurfette: M started walking at 10 months and by 12 months we had her in hard soles.

@cascademom: Haha! She is fits in a 3.5 still! 4's are huge on her.
@Mrs. Blue: That is what I was thinking. I noticed everyone else had on hard soled when I picked her up. And I think it would be better when they are playing on the playground.

@Smurfette: @MsLipGloss: I guess my dude has big feet. When we measured him with a paper thingie for his Stride Rites off of Amazon, he was a size 6 last summer or so. He just got new shoes recently, size 7's when he visited my parents for a weekend. I'm thinking of buying some cute shoes from Target in 8's to get us through fall because we have some 7.5s from my brother's kids to use this summer.

@Smurfette: Newp. Maybe in another week or two? I bought the 4's just in case . . . moving up sizes (from her SKR Smallers) seemed to happen overnight!

We switched around 2 months after walking. I still put her in soft soles around the house, but if we leave the house she wears hardsoles.

he started taking tentative steps at 10.5 months, walking more regularly around 11.5 months, and we got him real shoes right after his 1st birthday.

She won't wear anything harder than Stride Rites (she's particular), but I don't consider those to be very hard. She started those around 15 months.
