Just wondering if anyone can recommend baby shoes that actually stay on?? Jarvi has a few pairs but he pulls them off or they just fall off even though they fit him

| I only have issues with socks, lol. His shoes- bobux, stay on fine, but socks he loves to pull off! DH tucks Aidens pants into his socks so they stay on better but he looks like a nerd! |

easy - dont put shoes on him... they dont need shoes at that age and if you get poor fitting footwear it can affect their feet as the bones are very soft and still developing right up till they are quite a bit older... neither of my boys wore shoes till they were 2. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| Yeah we didn't use shoes at that age either. It wasn't until he was walking properly he got "shoes". We did have these slip on leather "shoes" that were totally soft and had no sole whatsoever and they stayed on fine. |

I just LOVE Bobux! DD was always pulling her socks and booties off, got a couple pairs of these and problem solved, they hold her socks on, keep her feet warm and look cute too! Love the bobux boots especially, they are more like soft moccasins than shoes really, stay on really well and go right over pants and socks We go ours used on trademe there are some great deals to be had... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

you are probably better off with no shoes instead of spending $50 on shoes that wont last a year. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

the bobux 'shoes' at that age are great, if you get them from the outlet shop even better. Plus they have a good resale value on places like TM.
Our boys are walkers now (2) and I've found that their Nike's stay put. Probably helps that they love them though  -------------

Bizzy - if your boys didn't wear shoes until they were two what did they wear outside once they were walking? Genuine question -------------

Have a look under the "Everything Else" tab. They have factory seconds. I got a pair of the Matty boot for a friend you can't even tell they are seconds. How big are your boy's feet? -------------

Which would be okay if your child was a toddler during summer What about for those under 2's who are learning to walk over winter? I don't walk outside in bare feet in the cold and wet so wouldn't expect my toddler to either. -------------

I vote Bobux too! We started with the soft leather ones and now DD is in I-Walks, they are wonderful! She loves them, the sole is flexible and didn't need 'wearing in' and she hardly attempts to take them off Pricey, but worth the investment imo. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We have a pair of soft sole Bobux which I love, got them for $10 from the factory and a pair of i-walk junior boots too, for the occasional time she does go outside. I'm thinking we're going to have to get some proper i-walks however as DD is full-time walking and has been for awhile. I was hoping someone would get her some Bobux for her birthday but they got her the cotton on kids ones, which are cute, and I totally appreciate, but I don't think she will be able to walk in them in awhile. Also they are abit big I think.
Bizzy, what about in winter and they were just playing outside. DD is fulltime walking but she is too little to go for a walk for a distance but we often take her to the park down the road, or she goes and plays outside while her dad and uncles are tinkering with cars, or playing ball, hanging washing etc. My feet get cold, I would hate DD's to too. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

they did wear socks and those pants with feet on them.... if it was too cold they came inside. mind you i have trouble keeping clothes on them let alone shoes...and they never seem to feel the cold like i do. Shoes just werent an issue. I too have heard great things about bobux but i have also seen some similar but cheaper shoes in baby factory and also farmers. and also the hi hippo brand from the warehouse. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Another vote for Bobux here. Even if your baby isn't walking they are still good as they are nice soft leather and warmer than just wearing socks when you take bubs out places. ------------- Two little girls under 2!
