Freddie Sneaker

Soft upper and good linoleum-gripping sole. Laces are long enough to double-knot, which is required to thwart the mischiveous efforts of this pre-walking infant! These are a must have if your baby will not keep shoes on, constantly kicking off low profile shoes. These are tall enough around the ankle bone that he can't shove one off with the toe of the other shoe, and he can't yank them off by hand. Kind of a baby high top, but not high enough to restrict ankle movement and crawling. First shoe for baby, 9 mos old. Best feature is the pull-out insole, which you hold against sole of baby's foot to check fit. From time to time, pull it out to see where toe indentations fall. If toes are over the line that Stride Right drew on insole, it's time for new shoes. No guessing whether they're outgrowing their shoes. THE PRICE WAS THE NUMBER ONE REASON I BOUGHT THESE. If I had my way, he'd be barefoot until preschool - - but daycare insists all kids wear shoes. Local baby boutiques sell SR for $43.00, and they had flowers on them - not cool for baby boys. So I hit the internet, and loved the price so much I bought three pairs in incrementally larger sizes. Unbeatable price!!!!

Bought these for my 11 month old granddaughter. Wasn't sure if they would be as "cute" as all the girly-looking options, but wanted her to have the most supportive shoes to learn to walk in. I am really happy I chose these. The leather is high quality, they fit really well, conform to her feet and offer excellent ankle support. She stands stronger, is much more stable and the rubbery rounded edges give her better grip to scoot around in her walker. They are also very cute, not orthopedic-looking like I thought they might be. Very happy with these. Girly designs can come after she learns to walk.

It’s important for the feet and toes to have plenty of space in a shoe to move freely for proper health and development of our feet. Start early with the adorable lace up “Freddie” sneaker. They go with everything, classic white color, and my 1 year old runs and plays comfortably in them. The laces make it so smart little babes cannot kick off or remove the shoes themselves. Brilliant!!
