20 Best Toddler Shoes For Walking (2023 Updated)

The shoes are great quality and value. Great old-School quality like my children wore. !!! Brought this pair for my grandson 9 months. One thing the sole is not slip resistant enough, please add more non-slip material to the soles.

I would buy again.

Unfortunately, after printing off and following the fit guides COMPLETELY, we were unable to keep the Soft Motion Kylin Sneakers. We ordered the size recommended by the sizing guide and they did not have a wide enough opening/were not tall enough for my sons foot.

My son has a slim foot with a high arch and it was recommended the we order 5. 5 W. We then ordered a half size bigger and still had the same issues. Additionally, we had trouble with processing/shipping time and customer service.

In the end, we purchased and returned 2 pairs of shoes and went with a different brand for my son.

Great quality. We measured using the Stride Rite sizing plan and came up with 3W for my 12-month-old granddaughter. These came up a bit snug. They fit for the moment but with no room in the toes to grow.

However, they are cute and sturdy enough that I would order them again. Just be sure to measure carefully and then go a bit larger in size. I wish they came in another color too, like red or light blue.

I always bough stride rite for my older kids back when they had a store near us. They were my favorite then and I was nervous to order some for our youngest without trying them on. But I printed the measurement tool and they were a perfect fit.

He likes to wear them which is unusual because he normally hates shoes. Strongly recommend!.

Really cute gender neutral sneakers I bought for my daughter. However they are very small. I bought a size 5, it was less than an inch longer than a fp moccasin size 3. Honestly, I’m not sure if they run small or other stride rite shoes run big.

I also bought a size 5 Mary Jane (I think it’s called cordaline) but those were a whole inch longer than this pair.

The very first shoes for my baby! They seem very comfortable, and provide support and protection for the feet. I chose 6 the largest size for baby and it does come big for my boy’s feet, probably an inch or so longer, but the Velcro straps work fantastic.

We took a field trip in the shoes and they never fell off! Oh and we love how stylish they are!.

These shoes are why we buy striderites. The sole coming on over the edges makes these shoes so tough and the Velcro folding back over itself keeps them on my daughter’s feet. Really good shoes for kids who are tough on shoes! Looks really nice too.

The pink ones are great for our daughter.

These shoes literally gave my baby girl the confidence to get up and go. Prior to purchasing these she refused to even keep shoes on and take any steps. without holding me or dad’s hand. She loves the pink flowers on them and once I put them on she didn’t want to take them off! Once she got the feel of wearing them, she began walking within a few days.

They are soft and cushioned around the ankles, yet supportive compared to shoes I’ve gotten my first born when he was learning to walk. I had to use longer, thicker socks to protect his ankles from any bruising or digging in his delicate skin.

This was not the case with these shoes for baby girl! I also love how easy they wipe clean, no scuffing and the removeable sole with the sizing guide is a very smart, helpful touch. Needless to say, these shoes were worth every penny paid.

These shoes are adorable, but for being “extra-wide” they are still pretty tight on my daughter’s feet. It’s a good quality leather shoe, but seems that the design on the tongue rubs and is uncomfortable if socks don’t go high enough to prevent rubbing.

The biggest issue I had with these shoes was the lace holes being made of metal and not coated or covered with something else because pieces of the metal were pointing out and poking her and I cut my finger when I was trying to figure out why my poor baby was screaming.

For a $56 toddler shoe this should not be something that happens. Plus it shredded parts of the shoe laces already too because it would get caught on the metal that was poking out and snag the laces.

And now we can’t return them.

We are very pleased with this purchase! However, I have ordered April 27th, another pair of sandals for my great grandson and I still don’t have them. I have tried to call and got a recording several times asking if I would recommend Stride rite.

At this point the answer is NO! Tracking says that FedX was notified on April 29th and the shoes are still waiting to be picked up! VERY POOR SERVICE! I have been a customer since the 1950’s. My children wore Stride rite, my grandchildren, and now my great grandchildren.

I have purchased many many shoes.

These shoes are perfect for small children who are still learning to walk and need to balance themselves. They are also comfortable and stylish! Please enter me into the *sweepstakes*.

They were purchased to help with walking 🚶‍♂️ for babies.

I was pleased to find these shoes for my grandson because I always bought them for my children

I like that these boots are easy to put on but they also fall off easily. At daycare these boots are constantly falling off my daughter’s feet leading to wet socks and an unhappy toddler. The size should be correct because she has boots in a size down from another brand and those are too small.

I’m surprised at all the positive reviews here since I read reviews on another site and one reviewer said they ended up losing a boot while her toddler was riding in her stroller because the boot did not stay on her feet.

There is no way to cinch this boot tighter. The velcro strap is mainly for looks. It is loose and can’t be adjusted. This boot is so disappointing. I’m going to see if I can return these but unlikely since my toddler has already worn them and now I’ve got to look for and purchase another pair of winter boots that stay on toddler feet.

I bought these for my 3-year old. I loved the look and they seemed really easy to get on unlike her older Sorels. Anyhow, I hate these boots. They constantly fall off. They are easy to get on but my kid will be running and a boot will come off.

These do not stay on the feet. There’s no way to tighten the velcro and it’s loose. They are the right size. Another con for these boots is they are so short. The legs of her snowsuit or snow pants constantly comes up over these boots.

There’s not much winter protection from these short boots. I guess these boots will be okay for non-walkers or kids that don’t play in snow outside or kids that won’t be moving. Just be prepared to lose a boot or two.

I read one review on another site that said, that a mom lost one boot pushing her daughter in the stroller. Next year I’m buying a taller more waterproof boot. No TNF.

The shoes are very nice quality. They have nice warm fur on inside. Huge advantage is they are easy on and easy off. The velcro strap is a nice and easy to adjust. I just wish the Velcro strap was not so elastic as I feel it will stretch too much over time.

A little firmer material would be better, Make the strap longer and add more velcro for adjustments. One real complaints are that the boots are short so snow does come in over the top of the shoe, so you have to make sure you put pants over them.

Other complaint is that the tongue on the front is not full height on the sides so snow can come in on the sides as the tongue goes over the sides. The inside rib should extend all the way up to keep snow and or water from coming in.

The upper is not waterproof at all.

On June 5th 2021, I ordered a pair of children’s Striderite shoes. I was charged on my Visa Credit Card $42. 75 to Vida Shoes International On June 7th, I received them and immediately didn’t like the quality.

I received a Fed EX label from you and promptly returned them. On June 10th Striderite in Brookville Ohio received them. It is now 6 weeks since you received and you have not credit my Visa card. Please promptly credit my account $42.

75.

My kids feet don’t grow that fast and I was hoping i can use these for at least 6 months, I ordered a half size up and my toddler was happy with them, haven’t used them outdoors much due to cold weather just daycare’s indoor playground and one of the shoe’s strap wont stay in place.

The other shoe is fine. A bit disappointed, otherwise great comfy shoe.

My kid loves these shoes. They look good, color combination works for his little ego. they are really comfortable and easy to put on which is the most important thing for him after the shoe has passed the “look” test.

We live in the bay area so this works for our climate during winter time. They keep his activity feet warm. However, as a mom of hyper energetic boy, my biggest issue is finding shoes that can last for some time.

we are about 2 months into constant wearing of this shoes. September was too early and too hot for us to wear these, So from Oct to Dec. now i can see the front/top area are scratched up and I am not sure how long these could hold up.

Knowing how my boy grew up, it would be more worn for younger boys so just keep that in mind. someone who is basically into a lot physical activities like climbing, hiking, biking. walking and jumping a lot.

or generally an explorer. I am not sure this is the best choice or tough enough. But who knows, maybe it will hold up fine, i will come back up to up my stars.

It’s always a little tricky to buy shoes online. I followed the sizing chart and read the fit note that it runs slightly large and they were perfect. Having velcro on kids shoes just makes life so much easier.

My son loves these boots so much. We tried them for the first time last year and they held up amazing for a 2 year old running around outside and playing in mud and light snow. We just ordered another pair for this winter!.

We bought our son his first pair of shoes from camper. Now, he’s two years old and we always buy from this brand. The shoes are comfortable and wide which lets his toes grow and move freely. They are light but have a strong back which is perfect for support.

They are resistant and waterproof. For us, the best brand for toddler shoes so far.

Camper makes a great shoe. So flexible. Bought a pair for my grandson in the spring and he walked and ran easily in them. So I was anxious to get him the next size up before they sold out. However, will be returning it.

This new style is cute with the laces already fixed but impossible to get on a wiggly anxious-to-get-out-the door toddler. They are actually big on him and we could barely get them on so I can only imagine what it would be like once he actually grew into them.

I hope the next season shoe style goes back to the Velcro strap with the wide opening (the Camper Dadda sneaker).

Nice shoe, great colors and comfort, but the color of the shoe goes out way too fast. First day she wore them, when she came back home, the color in the front of both shoes had already gone, making the shoe look like she was wearing it for months.

At this age children explore the world, and so colors should be more sturdy.

TranslateShow in original languageErstmal ist die Beschreibung des Schuh irreführend, da er aus Stoff sein soll. Hatte mich schon geärgert ihn bestellt zu haben. Als der Schuh kam, war er zum Glück aus sehr weichen Leder, sowohl innen und außen.

Er ist sehr leicht und die Sohle schön biegsam. Farbe ist auch schön. Gewohnt gute Qualität der Marke. Würde ihn wieder kaufen.

TranslateShow in original languagePetites chaussures parfaites! Semelle extérieure en caoutchouc souple et semelle intérieur sans renfort au niveau de la voûte plantaire donc idéal pour les petits pieds qui sont encore en train de se développer/muscler.

Les lacets permettent de les enfiler facilement et de bien les ajuster. Excellente qualité en cuir et doublées en peau lainée elles sont parfaites pour le froid. Mon fils ne les quitte plus, je suis ravie!.

We got these as cute back to school shoes for our toddler boy. We purchased the navy pair and they fit his feet really well. They’re super easy to put on– the tongue stretches out nicely for the foot to slide in easy.

Large velcro strap. Super durable and goes with everything he wears. I’ve read negative reviews about them not holding up well but ours have held up great and our boy is very rough on his shoes and plays a lot outside.

We highly recommend these adorable, great quality shoes. The navy was out of stock for a while and we were so happy when we just noticed them back in stock. I’m purchasing them again in his current size and the next size up!.

These shoes are so fashionable. The leather accent at the toe is so eye-catching and they are very well made. The shoes are easy to get on and off and have a thick, comfortable sole for long walks. My toddler son loves them.

I would say they run a little large but not too much of a difference overall. I recommend getting these shoes.

Not intended for an active child or pre school age. You would think this would go into consideration when designing a Childrens shoe. Destroyed after one wear beyond repair. My daughter is not rough on shoes and every shoe she’s had has always lasted until she outgrows them.

I have been tried and true to Ugg for 10+ years but their sneakers lack the quality you see in their boots.

I love these shoes! Wear with or without socks. You can get them wet. So comfortable. Better than sneakers for casual wear for the summer!

These little Hounds are so light and soft. These are my daughter’s second pair. She outgrew the others and she still loved them, so we bought her a new pair. These shoes come in blue or pink, so whichever your child prefers.

They are very simple to clean, and easy to put on and take off. My daughter prefers them with sock.

Lightweight shoes, breathable, but did leave blisters on my heel. It’s a bit like wearing jelly shoes when you were a kid. Better quality, but leaves blisters.

After excellent service having my little boys feet measured, these shoes were suggested and I’ve been delighted with the decision to go with them. The tongue opens nice and wide so it’s easy to get little feet (and scrunched up toes) in.

The double Velcro keeps them in place although it wasn’t long before he worked out how to rip this and whip them off! My little boy is at the crawling stage and these give his tiny toes the protection they deserve when crawling around, especially when we’re not on carpet at home.

They are really soft and allow his feet to move when he’s pulling himself up. They look beautiful and I feel confident that Clark’s are a reliable brand. My only criticism is that some of the sole has come away a little from the toe.

not an issue but stops me from giving full marks.

These shoes have been brilliant. My little boy has been wearing them everyday for the last five weeks and they still look like new, even though he’s tripped, climbed and splashed in many muddy puddles.

They still come up like new with a quick wipe down and should last him a few more weeks before he goes into the next size up. For a very first pair of shoes (size 3 in this case), I highly recommend.

These shoes are so cute. They are flexible and so soft on my childs feet. They are prefect for first shoes. My little girl loves them and is so happy to have them on. I think they are quite versatile and are very smart but also go with most outfits which is perfect for girls and boys.

Not the greatest pair of shoes we have bought. There was glue showing on between the sole and the shoe. And wasn’t a nice finish where the material ends when looking closely. Cute pair of shoes and nice colour just don’t think these are made as well as other Clark’s shoes I have bought.

Sent back.

We loved these smart and stylish shoes for our daughter. They were comfortable and smart, but the Velcro could be pulled by our daughter. Overall sturdy though

We had our daughters feet measured in store to ensure we had the perfect fit. We then selected this style online and ordered via click and collect. The shoes fit superbly and the adjustable buckle isn’t fiddly to use.

Well made and soft flexible sole to help her get used to wearing shoes. Lovely classic style with a pop of colour as a modern twist. You can trust Clark’s to make excellent children’s shoes.

Delivered the incorrect width. Nicola from customer service was useful – offered to swap them for another colour in the same style that did come in F width. We sent the shoes back but then a few days later informing us our money would be refunded and there were no shoes in the correct size.

Absolute waste of time.

Death trap! Completely unusable as no grip and my daughter almost couldnt stand up as no grip. Do not buy second hand.

This is the second pair I have bought for one of my Granddaughters. Thats a good recommendation! She loves them.

Bought these for my son, he used to get sore feet when he crawled outside (would take his socks off) but since wearing his shoes they are great for his feet! They are not too hard either on the sole so perfect for Him.

Shoe is great—size range is unfortunate. The shoe is super flexible, soft and breathable, 100% what I want in a baby shoe. Just something to protect their feet without affecting the development of all those important little foot muscles.

Unfortunately, she is a peanut and an early walker. So her 10cm foot is absurdly small for the smallest size the shoe comes in (12cm). She’s used to walking in too-big padded winter booties but these shoes, she literally can’t walk in.

They come off and even when I tightened them with a threaded ribbon like other reviews have suggested, they still looked like clown shoes and still fell off. Great shoe, I just hope she grows enough to wear it before it gets too cold again.

Strongly suggest you don’t buy more shoes than 1cm too big.

I have looked everywhere to find shoes for my 16 month old. Most baby shoes have thin midsoles and are too tight in different areas. Also most shoes aren’t completely flat for new walkers. These shoes arrived and I kid you not, the second I put them on him he wore them the rest of the day.

He loves them! The other day he came up to me and gestured to put the shoes on his feet. They are stretchy, breathable material, they have room for growth, and they shipped super fast. 10/10, five stars, so cute.

My great grandson lives in Germany with his Air Force dad and mom and needed his first pair of shoes. He does not like shoes!!! But these he loves. We followed the guide for measurements and ordered on blind faith! They fit perfectly and are so easy to put on an off.

Best purchase we have made for this little guy. Will be buying more in the future as he grows.

My granddaughter and my son both rave about this shoe style. After they loved the lavender size 11 to death I had to order size 12. They are thrilled to get the new shoes in both pink and in yellow. There was a big sigh of disappointment when they heard 12 is as large as you go in this shoe.

I think my granddaughter would wear this style forever because they are so comfortable and easy for her to put on and off. And having such good colors is a real plus as well.

These shoes are so incredibly soft and comfortable!!! My son absolutely loves them, we have been purchasing them since he started walking- he’s 4 now and we have them in 3 different colors! Super easy to put on, they stay on.

wear with socks or no socks, vibrant colors, they go with everything! Love!.

These are the first pair of shoes we bought for our 15-month-old son and they are great! The quality seems awesome and they are so easy to get on and off. No laces, yay! Really cute colors and styles.

I bought in several sizes, and they seem to run true to size. I’m glad I got a few sizes since he will soon grow out of the first pair! I’m a happy customer who will return for more purchases.
