My little one is 6 months old. Just the other day one of my older step daughters said "who cares about socks"...and I said "socks and shoes sometimes really make an outfit". I love cute little socks and shoes! I have issues with both of these too, trying to find ones that are cute, and actually stay on their feet when they are so little. I know my little girl is so squirmy and loves to kick her feet. I now have 3 pairs of shoes, and the only ones that actually stay on her feet are the
Star White pair by Boumy.
Boumy shoes have a nice elastic closing around the ankle. The elastic is tight, but does not actually squeeze around her ankles...so there is no uncomfortable red mark. They did leave a tiny little indent, but it did not get red, or seem like they bothered her. They are a little tough to get on at first, mostly because my little one never stops wiggling her feet. So they are not as easy to put on as her little maryjane style shoes, but the Boumy shoes actually stay on. Her other types come off typically in just a matter of minutes!
Boumy shoes are made of 100 % leather. My little one is not quite crawling yet, so I am not sure yet how well they wear, but seem to be strong. She does roll and push with her feet and they do not seem to wear out. I even rubbed them to see if the color would come of the toe area, but it did not do anything.
I compared the softness to another shoe that we have with a similar style(but are too small for her now) and the Boumy are so much softer. The leather is so soft inside and out. I even let her wear them without socks. I personally prefer the look of the shoes when wearing pants vs. shorts or dresses, at least for the girls.
I like how flexible the shoe is. I think this will make it easier for her learning to crawl and pull herself up to stand with help. The sole is made slightly roughend that is supposed to help them get a better grip on slippery surfaces. This will be helpful around my house seeing I only have one room that is carpeted, and all the other floors are slippery. I think this roughened sole, added to the flexibility of the shoe itself will really aid in helping her move around.
The Star White pair sell for $32 and also come in a pink color. Otherwise they have a great selection of other styles as well, and in sizes for ages 0-2 years old. I love their cute little booties that look little cowboy boots!
