The Complete Baby Shoes Buying Guide

Baby Shoes Basics

When one steps into a store selling baby shoes, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the wide range of shoes available for sale. This is especially true for a parent, who wants the best for his or her baby. However, when purchasing baby shoes, it’s important to keep it simple and buy what the baby needs at that particular time.

Most newborns and very young infants do not require baby shoes at all; all they need is a warm pair of socks to keep their feet cozy. However, it’s understandable if parents want to buy little shoes for even their newborns to increase the cuteness of their child. During this stage where the baby can’t move around, and also when the baby starts crawling, soft booties are sufficient to both keep the baby’s feet warm and also protect his or her feet from abrasion when he or she starts crawling around. Booties are basically sturdier versions of socks that resemble shoes and are soft and flexible.

Once a baby starts to stand and walk, more sturdy soles are required to support the baby’s movements, and at this stage parents should purchase more hardy shoes with thicker or stronger soles. For a baby or toddler, anti-slip soles are definitely preferable to prevent injury.

How to Choose the Right Baby Shoes

Choosing the right baby shoes means getting the size of the shoes right and ensuring that the type of shoe is suitable for the baby’s current stage of development. Shopping for shoes that are going to be walked in requires more diligence than shopping for booties or soft shoes.

Getting the Right Size

When buying booties for a newborn, size really isn’t a big matter as booties are only for protecting the baby’s feet. Most manufacturers state the appropriate ages for these soft shoes on the packaging or label. It’s mostly for babies who have started walking that care must be taken, as shoes should not be uncomfortable when walked in.

When buying the first pair of walking shoes for a baby, it’s best to get his or her feet measured by a professional first before purchase. When trying out the shoes on the baby’s feet, be sure that he or she does not curl up his or her toes, as this could lead to errors in judging if the shoes fit. With the feet flat on the ground, there should be some space between the big toe and the tip of the shoe. About a thumb’s width of space should be enough for comfortable wear. It is best if the baby tries out the shoes with the socks he or she will typically be wearing with the shoes. Again, the shoe should not be too tight. After putting on the shoes, let the baby walk around for a bit, and remove the shoes. Inspect the baby’s feet for any signs of pinching, chaffing, or redness, which indicates ill-fitting shoes. If there are no such signs and the toddler seems comfortable in the shoes, then the shoes are probably suitable.

Parents tend to purchase shoes that are a little bigger than the right fit for the toddler wearing them, so that the toddler may wear them for a longer period of time without outgrowing the shoes. However, do not do this as loose shoes can be uncomfortable, and they could also cause the toddler to trip and injure himself or herself. Always put the baby’s safety first, and get shoes that fit just right. Every few months, purchase new pairs of shoes as toddler’s feet tend to grow quite quickly.

Type of Shoe

As mentioned earlier, the type of shoe that a baby wears is largely dependent on the baby’s current stage of development. During the early stages, soft booties do the trick to help protect a non-mobile or a crawling infant’s feet from the cold and other elements. When purchasing booties, be sure that they are soft and flexible by pressing the bootie and moving it around. Booties have to be comfortable enough to allow wiggling and moving of the baby’s feet.

When the baby starts walking though, importance should be given to support of the child’s weight. Therefore, the buyer should concentrate more on the soles of the shoes, and ensure they are sturdy. However, the soles should also be comfortable and not too hard, as soles that are too hard and that will not eventually conform to the toddler’s feet will make it uncomfortable for the toddler to walk. Also, the heel of the shoe should hug the back of the feet properly, and as the baby walks in the shoe, his or her heel should not slip in and out of the shoe. Not only that, the material that the shoe is made of should allow adequate air circulation, and this usually means the shoes should be made out of canvas, thick cloth, or leather. Rubber and plastic baby shoes should be avoided, as they are not as flexible and not porous enough for good air circulation.

Tips for Buying Baby Shoes

Here are some other tips to remember when buying baby shoes:

• Booties don’t always have to be bought ready-made; the buyer can also opt to make them by knitting or crocheting. Being able to choose the colors and materials may result in the buyer making very good quality booties, and add sentimental value to the end result.
• If the toddler is old enough to talk or express himself or herself, then give the toddler the option to choose which type of shoe he or she likes. Toddlers enjoy wearing shoes that catch their eye, and this may encourage them to wear the shoes more often.
• Shoes worn by babies should always be anti-slip to prevent accidents and injuries.
• Avoid high-fashion, trendy baby shoes that tend not to be very comfortable for a baby just learning to walk; keep it simple and comfortable until the toddler is stable and can run about.
• When purchasing online, remember to measure the baby’s feet and ensure that the shoes will fit. Not all brands have the same exact sizing.

Hand-me-downs or used baby shoes may seem like a great way to cut cost, but unless the shoes are very, very gently used, it’s best to avoid putting used shoes on a baby’s feet. This is because used baby shoes have been broken in by a previous baby, and over time would have conformed to the first baby’s feet. This, of course, would make the shoes uncomfortable for the second baby to use, as different babies have different sizes and shapes of feet.
