How to choose kids' shoes for each walking stage
Crawling and cruising: pre-walkers have soft, flexible soles so babies can feel the floor. Try Bobux Go Xplorer or Tip Toey Joey Dolly Mary Janes, from EU19.
First independent steps: first walkers add grip and a little more structure. Bobux Step Up, Biomecanics Biogateo and Tip Toey Joey baby sneakers and sandals are good picks, from S$69.
Running, climbing and school: confident walker shoes have tougher soles for everyday play. Choose KEEN or award-winning Pediped for outdoor adventures, Native for water days, and Tip Toey Joey or Old Soles for sizes up to EU36.

For first independent steps, choose Bobux Step Up (S$92), Biomecanics Biogateo (S$79.90 to S$89.90) or a Tip Toey Joey baby style (S$69 to S$89). If your baby is still crawling or cruising, start with a soft-soled pre-walker such as Bobux Go Xplorer.
Bobux runs from EU19 to EU30, Tip Toey Joey and Old Soles from EU20 to EU36, and Biomecanics and Pediped from EU22 to EU34. KEEN and Native use US sizes, from toddler sizes up to youth sizes.
