Like almost everything else these days, the choices for infant/toddler shoes ("pre-walkers" as they're called) are endless. It's not just the color and style of shoes, but the whole science behind choosing pre-walker shoes. Soles must be flexible, heels must be rigid; make sure there's a thumb-width between the big toe and edge of the shoe; not too tight or high around the ankles. And then there's the theory that early walkers should be left to go barefoot so that feet can develop properly. Of course, when Jason & I were growing up, we were laced up in ankle-high, hard-soled leather booties.
After a visit to Stride-Rite-- are you kidding me they sell infant sandals (not even a full shoe!) for $42??-- Evan and I wound up at Old Navy and found a pair of cute, flexible (and cheap) sneakers. So much work for such little feet! And for the record, no, he is not yet walking. I'm guessing we have a week or so before the first official steps.
Below are more pictures to keep you amused.
