First walkers

I'm planning to buy my 14 month old twin nephews some shoes for Christmas and am wondering what is the best store/website to look at please? I am looking for good quality shoes (UK only) which will be easy for them to move about in now that they are walking. I'm thinking Clark's but would welcome any recommendations. Thanks :)

Clarks aren't that great for baby shoes - most of their models are too stiff in the sole and make new walkers clomp around instead of walking normally.

Some good alternatives are Bobux Step Up range or Livie & Luca Turf sole. Or pretty much anything from https://www.happylittlesoles.co.uk/

Geeka, thank you so much. That's exactly the sort of info I'm looking for. You would think that shoes for this age group would be made to help them to walk, not hinder it. Thanks again.

I used to buy from Walmart mostly for my son. I would not get clarks too because they would be too heavy for the little soles.
