Shoes

My mastermind

Engineer mama asks why not buy a shoe with flexible sole that can be bent for almost 90 degree, eg see kai run, skiders etc?

My Thought

For babies who just learned how to walk, no doubt that bare foot is the best ! But, what if the surface is rough, and the baby wants to get down for a walk? At this stage, we realize that it is time to get baby Chern a pair of shoes.

I always invest in a pair of good shoes for myself, as I rely heavily on public transport in Sg + need to walk a lot.

Therefore, yes, ask Mr Google again what are the recommended baby shoes? I find myself addicted to google in almost every single aspect of my life! Is this a sickness?Haha!

Top criteria:

1) The sole is thick enough but flexible enough to bend almost 90 degree so that baby feels no obstacle
2) Light

How to choose the size:

1) measure the foot length and add 0.5cm-1cm , or
2) let the baby try it out and then make sure we can still insert a finger space so that their feet has some room for movement

And the recommended brands:

1) Pedipep
2) See Kai Run
3) Stride rite
4) Skidders etc...

The lists go on; but the price for these brands are not cheap! It ranges from min SGD59 to SGD100 AND baby grows fast! Well, engineer mama friends said it is baby first shoes, lets invest a little! Okay, baby Chern got a See Kai Run after shopping at Mothercare and Stride Rite at Vivocity.
