1. A pair of salt water sandals available in infant, toddler, and big kid sizes so all the kids can match on vacation.
Promising review: "Who doesn't love salt water sandals? Like any leather shoes, they fit more comfortably after they've been broken in. Since it's hard to convince a young child of this, I just put them through the washer (but not the drier) with a regular load of laundry to help soften the leather a bit. Like any other pair we've ever bought, my daughter was able to wear them MUCH longer than any of her other shoes, meaning that she didn't outgrow them as quickly since the leather stretches as needed. And again, like any other pair we've ever bought, these will be handed down to a younger sibling as they're nearly impossible to wear out!" —Mrs Camping
Price: $17.98+ (available in sizes 0–8 years and 21 colors).
2. A fringed pair of cowboy boots so your kids can join in on the yeehaw culture that is sweeping the nation.
Promising review: "These boots were great for the price! Very cute and the color (I got beige) was just as pictured. They fit my three-month-old perfectly and make almost any outfit instantly cuter. I'm planning to get all the other colors!" —Kelsi
Price: $8.99 (available in sizes 0–18 months and five colors).
3. A pair of fleece booties designed with non-slip bottoms perfect for warmer winter weather to keep those teeny tiny toes warm while they're hanging in the stroller.
Promising review: "One of the best purchases for winter months. Sizing is large however the booties are kept on by the snaps. I never had an issue with my daughter being able to kick thee booties off." —Michelle A Pressel
Price: $6.99+ (available in sizes 0–18 months and 27 colors)
4. A pair of soft sole penny loafers for pre-walkers to flex on all the other babies at daycare. Or maybe there's a fancy event coming up and they just want to look good like all the grownups.
Promising review: "Literally the cutest baby shoes ever. Everyone stops to comment on them because let’s be honest: who doesn’t love seeing a teeny tiny human dressed up in adult-inspired loafers? We all love seeing it because it’s adorable. And going beyond their obvious style, these shoes are well-made. They have great detailing with a wide opening to allow cute little chubby baby feet to slip inside." —Life of Becky
Price: $10.55 (available in sizes 0–18 months and 22 colors)
5. A pair of water shoes for the beach or pool so your little one doesn't get sand all between their toes.
Promising review: "They held up great on our beach vacation, didn’t let in the sand, and hot sand didn’t faze her one bit. She wore them long and hard for almost two weeks and they are holding up just fine. I plan to buy her another pair next summer " — Kari
Price: $4.99+ (available in sizes 0–24 months and 45 colors/patterns)
6. A pair of baseball or football-themed baby moccasins because they'll be on the balls of their feet rooting for the home team while you do!
Available in regular colors too!
Promising review: "A great company with EXCELLENT customer service. I bought my 15 month old daughter a pair of their moccasins, size 5, in June. She had such an easy time walking in them, and we've received so many compliments. I like that she can feel the ground and there isn't a thick sole to keep her out of touch with the surfaces she's on." —JC
Price: $25 (available in sizes 2–9.5 months and 32 colors)
7. A soft-bottom leather-embroidered shoe with non-slip bottoms for those babies out there just getting the hang of standing up right.
Promising review: "I’m so impressed with these shoes. They are so well made and adorable! You can’t beat this price for such a well made shoe, even with such a durable sole. My daughter has wide feet and a high arch and these have plenty of room for her. I will be buying more!" —Chelsey Thayer
Price: $9.99 (available in sizes 0–24 months and 17 colors)
8. A pair of cool canvas sneakers with anti-slip bottoms so your little one can rock the same style you do on the daily.
Promising review: "These shoes were just what I was looking for. My boy is 12 months and just starting to walk and needed shoes to get used to as he transitions to the toddler room in daycare. The boots I had for him are too clunky and heavy for his stage. These shoes are cute, flexible and have a nice thin rubber sole for traction and when he goes outside. The laces are elastic and there’s a tab on the back to help pull on. He tried to unsuccessfully take them off. A win!" —Ponydr
Price: $6.99+ (available in sizes 0–18 months and 27 colors)
9. A set of adorable hand-crocheted booties that'll be the perfect addition to the "welcome home from the hospital" outfit you're already planning.
Promising review: "Love these! So very hard to find crib booties that fit newborns and I'm not a fan of just wearing socks. Others I bought fall off but these have a ribbon the wraps around the foot and ties in a bow so can be tied on and not fall off." —Amazon Customer
Price: $12 (available in newborn-size and three colors)
10. A pair of baby boat shoes with faux laces, because actual laces will be a pain in the behind to keep up with.
Promising review: "Loved these! Carter makes a great pair of shoes. They are true to size. My favorite thing about them is the tab on the back of the shoe which makes it easy to pull it over the baby's foot. And they stayed on pretty well and are very fashionable." —AmazonCustomer
Price: $16.25 (available in sizes 1–12 months)
11. A pair of leather shoes for a nice occasion. Buckle up, these are going to be SO cute.
Promising review: "These are perfect first shoes for a little one with square feet. The strap can adjust, though they are certainly wide enough. I love the tiny elastic on the heel to help keep them on. They look too cute, and I wish I had a pair in every color!" —K.Scala
Price: $15.99 (available in sizes 6–24 months and five colors)
12. A pair of cotton soft-sole shoes that'll make your baby's closet look like a zoo, but in a good way. You could collect the whole animal kingdom — wild.
Promising review: "Love, love, love these. They're easy to put on, they have enough nubs on the bottom to prevent slipping, and they wash beautifully. Getting ready to buy a second pair." —AmazonCustomer
Price: $7.99 (available in sizes 0–18 months and 21 animals)
13. A pair of sandal-inspired slippers so your kid can rock the summer months in style.
Promising review: "I just love, love, love these sandals. I really like the leopard print, they are too cute. Not only are the cute, the material is soft enough that they actually seem comfortable for her to wear. This are great for a baby still learning to master the skill of walking. Considering the price, I am very impressed with how good the quality is. They are well-made and surprisingly are quite durable." —Kristine
Price: $10.99 (available in sizes 0–18 months and nine colors)
14. A pair of fleece booties with non-skid bottoms that'll keep all ten toes nice and toasty — plus they won't be able to rip these off like those other slippers they have. Why you ask? The magic of Velcro!
Promising review: "These are soft, sturdy, thick fleece booties with adjustable, Velcro straps and nice grippers on the soles. They are very nice—they keep my child’s feet very warm and the grips have prevented her from slipping when walking on our hardwood floors." —AmandaM
Price: $8 (available in sizes 0–24 months and 10 colors)
15. A pair of Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers, because they'll never go out of style.
Promising review: "My son does great in these shoes. He needs the ankle support from a shoe that he can’t take off easily. This shoe stays on all day at school. He loves them." —Dodi Williams
Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes 2–30 months and 12 colors)
16. A set of Mary Jane flats with an adorable bowknot in the front that'll steal the show.
Promising review: "They were ten freaking bucks and fit my needs perfectly. I rarely dress my daughter up in anything other than onesies and sweatpants so on the rare occasion that I do, I wanted a cute Mary Jane shoe to go with some frilly socks. But I knew she would wear these once, maybe twice, and didn’t want to spend a fortune. These were inexpensive yet very cute. They do not have good arch support and probably would not be good as daily use shoes but for occasional use they’re great. They do have some grippy pads on the bottom which I appreciated." —CBAKERD3
Price: $6.99+ (available in sizes 0–18 months and 20 colors)
17. A velcro pre-walker sneaker to protect their feet for any outdoor adventures to the park or through the city.
These ~pre-walker sneakers~ have non-slip soles designed to help babies learning to walk find balance as their toes grip the floor.
Promising review: "Game changer. I absolutely love these infant shoes! My 8-month-old son was always eager to stand, sit and walk around with assistance but was hesitant because of sliding around. I tried non-skid socks which helped him gain a little confidence. When these shoes arrived, I put them on him and he immediately started sitting up on his own and standing. It’s as if the extra grip helped him gain the traction needed. The shoes are well made and have no chemical odor. They are soft and easy to clean. The shoes have room to grow but the velcro keeps it snug and in place." —Michelle
Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes 6–24 mos. and eight colors)
