Baby shoes, which ones are good for a 1 year old who just started walking?
by himself but still holds our hands pretty often. i heard i should get soft shoes, but are the stride rite soft enough, until now he had the robeez booties for when he walked on our hand.
please help, how soft do they have to be??? those i saw are not as soft as the robeez, but still softer than firm ones, but not so bendable .
thanks

for a beginning walker, you do want to stick with as much flexibility on the shoe and sole as you can get. The more their feet can feel the floor, the easier it is for them to learn to balance themselves and get more secure on their feet.
there's a brand called preschoolians which is similar to robeez but has a little bit of a stronger sole. My son did very well with those to start with, he was an early walker but very steady right from the beginning.

Robeez are still the best in my opinion. Try the booties.

They really need to be very soft, your not taking him out to walk over sharp gravel are you?...nope didn't think so.....he needs to be able to bend and learn how to use his feet properly before they are hindered by 'looks' if you go by the guide line of 'they need to be soft enough for him to use his feet as if they were bare' then you'll find shoes soft enough.
Good luck...and congrats on your baby walking, its so exciting!

anything from Stride Rite are good they have good ankle and arch support and that's what your looking for in a baby walking shoe its best to get him or her fitted at the shoe store to be sure it's the proper size shoe for optimal wear

Stride Rite are absolutely the best! They conform to baby's feet and give great support. I even wore them when I was a kid.

No shoes are best! If you have to get shoes very soft leather soled shoes.
