Question about toddler shoes?

I have been in different stores looking for shoes for my 20 month old son. Some of them are really hard on the insole and other ones are medium-soft.





how should they be?? he is already walking and running everywhere!! :)





thanks

Question about toddler shoes?
Medium soft is meant more for children who are beginning to walk. This is because of the flexibility they offer. The harder shoes are meant for children who can walk on their own without assistance, without falling, and who are able to run around. I always go to stride rite at the beginning of the season to get my son measured, they let you know the best type of shoes for their feet, do a measurement, and in case you didn't know (and i didn't) when buying sandals you always buy then a half size bigger to avoid blistering. Anywho, as long as your son is running around you should be ok with the harder insole.
Reply:I havent specifically looked for special soles. Always bought my tods shoes from sears. They seem to fit him well. When he was outgrowin his shoes we brought juz as he started walking, he wouldnt let us wear them. I believe he would let you know if it is uncomfortable.
Reply:Whatever shoes he's most comfortable in that aren't too tight, are the best fit.
Reply:just whatever he seems comfortable in. put them on him and let him walk/run around the store to make sure they're not going to bother his feet. hope I helped! =)
Reply:If he is already walking and running, I would go based on fit. They say that flexible soles are good (like Stride Rite) but I have found that my daughter (23 mos) does well in Nike sneakers. Her feet just seem to fit in them best. However, going to a store like Stride Rite assures that they will measure your son's feet and get the appropriate size and width. For dress shoes, I just go cheap, like Target or Payless. Carters has nice sandals, as does Nike.
Reply:My son is 21 months and I have bought him all different kinds of tennis shoes, sandals and dress shoes. He had no problem with any of them. Your son is old enough now that any type of shoe that fits properly and doesn't hurt his feet are fine. He will let you know if they hurt!
Reply:my daughter is 21/2 and she can walk well on her own. if your son is walking well on his own then go with hard insole sneakers like nike at any foot locker. they will measure his feet for you so you have the right size. going with soft sole shoes isn't a good idea at his age you want him to be able to walk and wear hard insole shoes. good luck
