There are few things as cute as babies in tiny shoes! Baby shoes help your little one get used to the feeling of shoes protecting their feet. Some even have extra-grippy parts on the bottom for when your baby decides they’re ready to start moving. They can make great baby shower gifts or birthday gifts, and again, they sure are cute. Below are some of our favorites.

Purchasing Baby Boy Shoes

Kids will go through a seemingly endless amount of shoes in their lifetime, so how do you make sure you’re buying the right ones the first time? There are a few things you can consider:

  • Size: You want to make sure you get your little one the right size of shoes to keep them comfortable and safe.
  • Grip: Most baby shoes are soft to help your little one get used to the feeling of real shoes later on, although some will also be equipped with a little extra grip on the bottom for added stability when they begin walking.
  • Style: Just like with adult shoes, there are endless styles of baby shoes made for certain weather and seasons, such as warm boots for the winter and sandals for the summer.
  • Walking: There are baby shoes specially developed to help your little one begin walking while keeping them comfortable and safe.
