Just learning to walk and shoes

My wee man is just learning to walk and is growing out of his soft soled shoo shoos, These have been great for the last few months cos he cant kick them off but now i am wondering if he needs something with more of a firmer sole on it.

I have read somewhere that barefeet when possible is the best but i would have thought they would need the support from the shoes. Am i wrong???

Yep bare feet is best- save the shoes for if he really needs them (like if you're going to be walking him on stony ground).
Something like this is ideal for out and about Shoes but for round home just keep him in barefeet or the bobux type ones. It allows their feet to grow naturally and unrestricted, better for their balance and the growth of the foot.

Yep - no shoes unless you're going out on the footpath or something like that, in which case you should be able to bend the sole of his shoe in half with your hands. You can get rubber-soled shoes like that, the next step up from material-sole.
