I found the baby branded shoes impossible to get on my sons feet and ended up taking them all back. Velcro shoes that open up wide are the best for that age. We found the brand Bobux the best, recommended by our paediatrician and podiatrist approved. Not the most beautiful shoes but they were best for him to walk in!

We bought these ones in basically every size!

Unfortunately fashion shoes just aren't designed for chubby baby feet. Boboux, Keen, ASDA first walkers are all more likely to fit and less likely to damage developing feet.

How long has he been walking? It’s normal for them to scrunch their toes up, that’s why you should wait 4-6 weeks after they start walking to get them proper shoes.
