Choosing the right style of shoes for your baby can be an easy task, especially when you know what you like. Baby shoes come in a variety of styles, colors and fabrics. You can purchase leather athletic shoes, canvas shoes, patent shoes, and loafers. However, some shoes are designed with a narrow fit, which may cause a tight, uncomfortable fit on your baby.
Baby footwear is designed for different stages in a baby's life. For the crawling stage, you may want to purchase a soft sole, one strap beginner shoe. But for babies who have not yet arrived to the crawling and moving around stage, you may want them to wear something more durable and comfortable on their feet.
Purchasing adorable socks or booties instead of shoes might do the trick. There are a variety of baby socks and booties available to match any little boy or girl's outfit. For boys, you can find the adorably designed baseball and bat rattle toe socks by Carter's. Each sock has a different decorative design that rattles every time your baby moves, and they are available in the color blue. The sizes range from 0-12 months and are priced at just under $8.00 a pair. The fabric is a combination of cotton, nylon and spandex.
You can also purchase a pair of Leaping Lizards Booties by Zutano. Each bootie has elastic around the heel, with 2 snaps on the top so you can choose how tight you want the booties to fit on your baby. The booties do not slip off your baby's feet, and the cute mix and match solid colors, and stripe and dot patterns will enhance any little boy animal print outfit.
The fabric is bright green with printed lizard designs throughout. The available sizes range from 0-6 months, or 8-16 pounds, and 6-12 months, or 16-20 pounds. The fabric is made from 100% super-soft pointelle cotton and is machine washable and dryer safe. The price for this particular brand of booties is just under $16.00.
For little girls, you can purchase a playful pair of rattle toe socks with a toy attached made by Goldbug. They come in two colors, fuchsia and pink. The sizes range from 3-12 months. The fabric is made from a blend of cotton, polyester, rubber and spandex. They are priced at just under $7.00.
You can also purchase a pair of Mickey or Minnie booties by Trumpette. They come in a variety of colors, including black, blue, purple, pink and green. The decorative design has Mickey or Minnie's head on the side of the bootie. The fabric is made from 80% cotton, 17% nylon and 3% spandex, and priced at just under $13.00. Unfortunately, I have only seen this available in newborn size .
If you took an interest to these styles, there are many, many more socks and booties to choose from that are designed by Trumpette, Zutano and Little Me. However, the available sizes may vary.
