Hey my daughter walked when she was 9 months. We kept her in socks for the first week or so to find her bearings. Then we went to Clark’s and got some first walker shoes. They are slightly softer than the average shoe!

Shoeless and sock less at home, barefoot shoes for outside or pre walkers / first shoes from Clark’s, they’ll be able to measure and advise on the softest ones. Only put shoes on when they’re fully confident walking x

What do you put on him now to go outside?
I wouldn't have him walking around personally 😂 unless it's a more controlled environment like a play space or park (not the playground)

Soft barefoot shoes are best whilst they're learning to walk.
Dotty fish, inch blue, bobux all have lovely leather shoes with a rubber sole that is perfect for little feet

Thank you so much ladies for advice. I’m a first time mum and feel so under prepared 😫😫😫

Haha mine is thinking about this as well she’s moving from one thing to another! My first didn’t walk till he was 15 months old so in the same boat thinking about shoes xx

My first steps at 10 months and I rushed to buy shoes and he grew out of them! Most of the wobbly walking happens indoors I think. Look into barefoot comfy shoes too x

You can buy a measuring device online, I still have one and measure my LO feet at home before buying online. Clark’s aren’t the best shoes, they’re as good as some supermarket shoes tbh!
