The Stride Rite pre-walker shoes gave Abigail blisters on her ankles. We returned the Stride Rites and visited the Children's Shoebox store at our local mall and asked for other options for baby kick-proof shoes.
We were once again told that Robeez and Pedipeds were the best - and of course that's what the store carried. I told the sales lady about our problem with Pedipeds was that the small was too big on Abby and the shoe would fall right off. She said, "You tried a Small? That's for sizes 6- 12 months. You might want to try an Extra Small for 0-6 month olds."
Extra small? For our 9 month old? Okaaay.... I still can't believe Abby has such tiny feet.
To my astonishment and glee (Pedipeds are so darned CUTE), they fit very well and with room to grow!!
The Children's Shoebox had about 4 styles to choose from, only two of which were available in XS. One of them happened to be a pair I had been eyeing online! So we ended up walking out the door with the Giselle - Chocolate Brown with Dots.
We have been very impressed with how soft the leather soles are and Abby really seems to like wearing them. She has not tried to take them off and despite all the rubbing she does of her ankles, they have not come off. Socks are secure.
