Recommendations for first shoes?

My baby girl took her first steps about a month ago and now she can walk quite confidently around the house. She does lose her balance sometimes, but most of the time she is ok. Can anyone recommend which kind of shoes I could put on her to start to walk outside? I did put trainers on her once but she couldn’t take any steps in them. I think they were too chunky for her. I can’t use soft baby shoes as her feet are too big for them. She’s approx 5.5 already.

My little one has a pair of start-rite, very light weight and flexible sole, after using them for a little while she can now confidently walk in trainers x

I bought some from asda. They do some first walkers with softer sole and wise foot base. My little boy got on well with them x

Pre walkers/ toddler shoes from Clark’s. They have rubber soft soles so they can still map the floor out with their feet which is really important. Stay away from bulky thick soled shoes they’re not great for the development of their feet x

We’ve got just a pair of start-rite

My daughter is coming up to 14 months, she started taking her first steps around 11 months and has been properly walking since just after she turned 1. I got her some Clarks shoes and she cried as soon as I put them in and refused to walk in them. I then got her some shoes from a baby boutique that had less padding in them and she hated them at first. I put her in them when I took her out in her pram to get her used to them being on her feet, now she walks with them with no problems🤷🏻‍♀️ you might be able to find sock shoes I’m not sure what size they go up to but I’m sure they even do adult ones now.

Start with lightweight shoes if you can’t find any sock shoes. As she gets older she will be able to wear trainers😊

Another vote for start-rites!

Pre walkers from Sainsbury’s suit my little girl as she is nearly walking 🚶 x
