Shoes for pre-walkers

Hi all,

We have been using Robeez and the Robeez style shoes from target which are perfect for in the house and when I go to run errands. Our tile floors are still pretty cold so they have to wear socks and since they are starting to stand up and cruise a bit, I have to put shoes on them so they don't slip. Now that the weather is warming up, I'm starting to take them in the back yard. We have a nice size concrete patio and they love to be in the walkers and be all over. However, it is destroying their shoes. The leather is peeling off and I can't keep going out to buy more of these shoes. So what other kinds of shoes can I be putting on them that are comfy and good for their feet? As I said, they are not walking yet but they are pulling up and standing up and cruising a bit now. TIA

 

I just bought some sandals yesterday at target by osh kosh.....they have a really flexible sole but have tread on the bottoms which I thought would work great for my kids since they aren't walking yet either but standing and cruising still. They were around 10 dollars a pair....so if they don't work out I'm not out a ton of money.

 

preschoolians!! They have a 40% twin discount, just send them a picture of your twins. Very flexible shoes, but still offer protection for their toes and the soles of their shoes Check it out. We bought 2 closed toe sandal type shoes for M&T. I've used wiggees also, they have tread on the bottom but are robeez style.. I like preschoolians better though.

We just got our first Preschoolians. I haven't put them on yet, but they definitely have a sole. Also, 3 different inserts for small, normal, wide feet. That's pretty cool.

Oh, and that discount rocks.

 

There's another brand call Pediped, which seem to be a bit more sturdy than the Robeez. I haven't bought any yet (kinda spendy), I'm waiting till we start spending a little more time outside. Which should be very soon! I've also seen another kind online called Bobux, but I haven't seen them in person so I don't know how they would stand up to the concrete.

 

We have a few pairs of Pedipeds. They are very sturdy. Be careful if ordering online size-wise. DD has a tiny foot and I recently ordered size 6-12 months since she is 14 months. I had to return them via mail to get the 0-6 size which fit great.

The babies are comfy in them and they are cute shoes. But I don't think we will use them much past the summer since they are not hard-soled.

 

FWIW, Bobux (at least the ones I have) are identical to Robeez. But I guess the company might make more styles that I'm not aware of.

 

I love Preschoolians! They have 3 different sole thicknesses: for crawlers, walkers, and runners. All 3 are soft and flexible. The styles are really cute and you get a 40% discount for twins.

We have Vans slipons that are great! You can find them at the Van's outlets as well.

 

Vans slip-ons too! They are so cute!!

 

Preschoolians are great! They even have shoes with outdoor soles that fit my little one who still wears a size 4 at 21 months.

I've been getting them from their Ebay store which has worked out well except that the selection is limited. I'm very excited to learn about their discount for twins.
