my 13-mth old has started being able to walk unsupported (not totally stable, toddling, but somehow he can still maintain balance unless he was walking too fast, like running and then loses balance). he enjoys walking outside of our home a lot, esp when we are at malls.
we hv bought him cloth shoes and soft leather or lambskin shoes with non-slip soles before when he was pre-walker and also let him wear these when he was just learning how to cruise and toddle with one hand held. but now that he can walk unsupported and is walking outdoors sometimes, are the soles of these types of shoes too thin and lacking support for healthy foot development? should i be looking at shoes with proper foot support? i am concerned that those with proper foot support have too thick soles or are too bulky, based on what i have seen at some shops so far. i read that early walkers should still wear shoes which are soft and flexible - is this true?
what brands or types of shoes can mummies recommend? what types of shoes did u buy for your children when they are early walkers??
