I've heard good things about see Kai run. Stride rite is a good solid brand as well. Id suggest going to a shoe store and getting your child's feet measured.
Movement mama has some good info on her blog about best shoes for beginning walkers

I agree with everyone see Kai run is my favorite shoes for my 14m old she wears a size 4 and that was kind of hard for me to find in stores but they have better sizes online I heard
I’ve noticed that if it fits well, they don’t easily come off, and if they’re not velcro, she can’t take them off.
We did these as they’re super cheap! But easy on and off. Rubber bottoms! https://a.co/d/05sr4uqC
We also have these! They’re easy on and off. However, the bottom is not rubber like the other one. Great for walking outside or in the grass but not super slip resistant. But again cheap! https://a.co/d/0dN211dT
I have also heard stride rite
@Donna katzen we use them too
Stride right!!!
Vans have worked well for us. We have the velcro and the zip up ones.
We like See Kai Run online. Our pediatrician recommended. Sign up for the texts and emails, they have sales often
