My little boy is about to start walking and I have never made him wear shoes, because he refused to keep them on his feet!! My mother says I should take him to a Stride Rite store to get his feet measured and get him a good pair of walking shoes. Whats the difference in shoes and Walking shoes? And do people still get walking shoes for their infants?

Answer
Little ones do not need shoes when they begin to walk. If you need shoes for outdoors, simple is better, a $10 pair from walmart will do just fine! Baby's grow so fast as you know, they do not know the difference between Nike's and cheaper shoes... I say go with a simple, easy to put on pair to protect his feet from being hurt outdoors and leave them off inside!

What type of shoes should I get for my 11 month old?

Pip

She has just started to walk but the walking shoes seem too solid for her feet. Will the ones for cruising be good enough?

Answer
We had this problem with our son as he started walking quite early (10 months) We tried him with the walking ones and he was a little unsteady at first but then he soon got used to them. If you take her to a proper child's shoes hope they will be able to give you the correct advice and if they don't work out, take them back and swap them. After all, your baby won't have walked outside in them.

What are some good shoes for babys that just learned to walk?

Rosy

I'm looking for a good shoe for a baby girl that just learned how to walk. I bought some as a gift for another baby a few years ago, at target but i foegot the name of the shoes. The shoe i'm looking for has is shaped like a U (the letter U) and its good for walking on floors.

Answer
I am not sure which shoes you mean but I recommend you to read the following and browse the tips here to make a decision: http://www.best-baby-gifts.com/organic-baby-shoes.html

I like Bobux shoes. Their models are accepted by the American Podiatric Medical Association.

Does my baby need those traditional white walking shoes?

My baby is 9 months old and walking. We had her measured at Stride Rite, and she is size 3 1/2. They didn't carry any of those walking shoes in her size (at the store). My mom says that she should have those traditional white high ankle style walking shoes to start out with. Are these necessary, because I've seen lots of sneakers in her size, but not that support the ankle. Do babies really need those funny looking white shoes with the ankle support?

Answer
Im sure it is a marketing scam by stride rite haha nah but seriously I didn't put my daughter into shoes until after she could walk so it was after even 1yrs old. We did end up buying her the stride rights though because they did go over her ankles which made it harder for her to slide off & because after buying other shoes/sneakers, they seems a little less heavier.

When I would put her in other shoes she would walk like frankenstein taking huge heavy steps & it looked like she had weights connected to her legs, but the stride rites were the first pair that she wore that she actually didn't mind & didn't spend the whole time trying to tear off her feet.

Anyone know a fix for squeaky orthotics in new walking shoes besides powder?

exnavyew

...(didn't squeak in old shoes). I had this same problem when I bought my previous pair of walking shoes but one dusting of baby powder solved that problem permanently. However, putting baby powder in new shoes is only working for about 1 day and squeaking is back (it's not the shoes, it only squeaks when I insert the orthotics). Anyone know anything else I can try besides baby powder to end the squeaking? thx.

Answer
Corn starch can also work, but if the baby powder is not lasing then this might not last either.
If you keep using the powder, it should eventually work longer.
