I'm buying all of these for my future child who doesn't exist yet, cool?

Promising review: "These shoes are fantastic! So easy to put on and take off and he can wear them all day with no complaints. He has had a few different brands of shoes and boots in the past and after awhile he has started to whine and point at his feet letting us know they hurt or are uncomfortable. He has never done that with these once. In fact, this pair was a replacement pair we bought for an identical set that was lost at some point on a trip. We even paid to have them expedited because it is worth it. I even bought myself a pair of matching Sauconys and they are my favorite daily shoe as well!" —Adam

Promising review: "I bought these for my son a couple days ago and he loves them! They’re not harsh or rough on his foot and they’re actually the only sandals he’ll keep on! And the little sharks just make them super cute. I’d definitely recommend these!" —JaySN
Get them from Old Navy for $4.99 (available in sizes 0–18 months).
Promising review: "My 12-month-old daughter just started walking consistently but was refusing to wear regular hard soled shoes. I wanted something to protect her feet when walking outside or in public places. I tried these soft sole first walking shoes and they are perfect. She is able to walk in them and doesn't get mad they are on her feet. I think the hard soled shoes were just too difficult for her to walk in because she is just starting to walk. These shoes are the perfect transition shoe until she is ready for hard soled shoes. They fit well and don't fall off her feet." —Buttercup

Get them from Janie and Jack for $51.99 (available in sizes 4–5K).
Promising review: "Sooo cute! They are sized a little big but that’s okay, she can grow into them. I get more compliments on these shoes with the pink dots on the bottom than I do when she wears her real Converse tennies. Also love that they stay on and don’t slip off. I’m going to buy all the different colors!"—Kealin Erin

Promising review: "I bought these for my 4-month-old (he is on the larger side) and these fit him just slightly big. They are made well and just super cute — I love that they Velcro and stay put on my little man’s feet. The sole is nice as well — durable and not flimsy! They look like mini Birkenstocks!" —KPITT

These lil' boots will keep your kiddos feeties warm and cozy all winter thanks to the UGGpure™ wool-lined insole. So snuggly!
Promising review: "These little Ugg booties are even cuter than pictured, if that's possible. I purchased them as a gift for an 18-month-old and they fit perfectly! They are ideal for our chilly Colorado mornings as an alternative to socks. Her little feet and toes stay toasty all morning long! Definitely a great, satisfying splurge!" —Liz L
Get them from Zappos for $49.95 (available in sizes 2–7 and in chestnut or baby pink).
Promising review: "I bought these shoes because my son is starting to walk. Since he had never worn shoes before I wanted something comfortable but also something that had enough grip to keep him from slipping. When I ordered them I heard that they run big. I do think that's the case but I purchased the 12–18 month and they fit perfectly with him wearing socks. I find that he doesn't try to take them off since they're soft. They look exactly like the picture depicts. I originally purchased the gray color but have now come back and purchased two other colors. They're only $10, so it's incredibly affordable!" —Lauren
Get them from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in sizes 0–18 months and 35 styles).
Get them from Janie and Jack for $23.99 (available in sizes 4–5K).
Promising review: "I bought these for my 9-month-old, and I got the 12-to-18-month size. They fit him well. I bought the bigger size expecting them to fit, because my son has big feet. We tried clogs and he would freeze when he had them on. With these he will still crawl, climb and stand just like he does without shoes. I am glad we bought them, they are a great transition shoe." —TMos

Promising review: "I got the lavender for my daughter, she wears a toddler size 4–5, I got the 12–18 month size and they fit perfectly. She is a good walker already and these are so easy for her to get around in because of the soft sole. They also slip on and off nicely. She has worn them outside in the grass and spring mud, and they wiped off well." —Erica

Promising review: "Very nice shoes. He is 10 months with really big feet. I originally ordered 12–18 and they were way too big. Then I got 9–12 and they were perfect. They looked really nice with a suit for my sisters wedding. My son has thick feet so it was tough to get on but overall we were very happy." —Danielle

I may or may not have snagged a pair of these for my future child. They're currently on display in my bookshelf (yes, really) but I can't wait for the day a little one is running around looking like a BOSS in these fashion-forward sneaks.
