Shoes for almost walker

8 replies

Can anyone recommend a solution for my 11mo who is crawling and cruising but not walking independently yet. He wants to be outside a lot so with the wetter colder weather needs something on his feet but I'm not sure what. I tried to get some shoes but nothing seemed to go on his feet properly, it's like because he's not really walking yet they don't stay/fit on his feet properly. At the moment he's just wearing socks out there which obviously get wet and muddy and slide off.

Ideas welcome!

You can buy pre-walkers/cruisers in Clarks (think the other brands have similar). Much softer than shoes.

Look us sterntaler baby booties. They are basically waterproof booties. So he can wear outside without getting soaked whilst he is t walking

I second going to Clarks. There's an excellent selection of shoes for pre-walkers, and the assistant will make sure they're the correct size (allowing for growing room) and that they fit properly.

Interested in this thread?

Ah thank you guys.

I forgot to mention we are abroad and don't have the expertise of Clarks 😫😫

I have found it hard to find an equivalent. I'll have a look at the booties. And maybe at clarks website if they ship internationally.

Bobux have really nice pre-walker shoes.

Have a look at Happy Little Soles - they probably shop internationally, and if they don't it'll give you an idea of brands to look for.

The sterntaler booties I bought off amazon, so might be ok to deliver
