the funky grom trollop in cool red color
It is that time of the year again when mum is planning to get me a new pair of shoes since the Christmas season is just around the corner. If you must know, I do not normally wear shoes. I am mostly clad in my sandals as I prefer to wear them whenever we are out and I guess mum agreed that they are the most comfortable for my feet. So, I seldom wear my pair of rubber shoes and always opt for my comfy sandals before heading out the door. For this year, though, mum is considering to get me a pair of shoes from Reef, or similar shops, for a change. Brands like this have the style and sensibility of shoes while giving your feet the comfort of sandals, just perfect for rowdy little boys like me!
Shopping for toddlers’ shoes can be quite tricky but here are a few tips from mum you might want to keep in mind the next time you go shopping for your little one’s footwear:
Go For Comfort
Little boys and girls loves to move around a lot, and it is rather difficult to be our fun and boisterous way when we are moving about in tired and aching feet, that is why comfort is the first thing you need to consider whenever you plan to buy us shoes! Opt for those brands and styles that are made of soft fabrics and similar material that will protect our little digits without hurting them. Mum’s top pick is this cool and groovy pair of Grom Trollop slip-on shoes. It sure resembles her own pair of slip-ons, so we can go out in our matching shoes!
Consider Style
Of course, mums want their kiddos to be this little fashionistas, so they would always opt for those kid-friendly, yet stylish brands that will make their little ones look awesome! Going for shoes in different colorful shades would be ideal, but it is also important to stick to some of the basic and general colors that will go well with your little ones’ clothes. This Grom Soulwolf‘s neutral shade is a perfect example, as they will go so well with any little boy’s wardrobe.
Let the Little One Choose
Nothing excites us more than to have a say in any decision our parents make, so make sure you get the little ones’ opinion and consider it before making a purchase. The trick is to give us a couple of different shoes to choose from to make your job easier. Narrow your choices and let us pick which of the pairs we’d like to bring home, it will make us look forward to wearing the item knowing that we chose it ourselves. Plus, it also allows for everyone to enjoy the shopping experience to the fullest!

style,quality, comfort and fit are the things that I consider when buying toddler shoes as this is the stage when they move a lot- walking and running 🙂
letting the kiddo try the shoes first for a few walks definitely worked for me! I mean, when I was a kid that was what my mom and dad would do, don’t have kids yet but this is a helpful article!
Those looks very comfy! Thanks for the tips.
I love the brown shoes. They look very comfortable.
sure do! I bet they will be perfect for my energetic little man!
i always go for style and comfort. my kids aren’t the easiest customers sometimes.:)
great tips. i always choose comfort and consider if she likes it or not.
btw, already installed share plugins at Little ZOie’s
Shoes would feel more comfortable if there were socks worn as well. As for toddlers, that’s a must.
definitely a must, i never wear any footwear without socks, besides flip flops, of course! 🙂
I agree in letting the little one choose as for sure they would love it.
These shoes look very fashionable and comfortable. Lucky are the feet which will wear them.

I agree that comfort must be the first thing to consider when buying kids’shoes. Safety must be considered as well that’s why I don’t understand why there are high-heeled shoes for little girls. It’s a big NO for me.
i find high heels for little girls repulsive. they might look really cute, but i cannot imagine how uncomfortable they are too the little wearers 🙁
Letting your toddlers wear sandals will make their feet darker and dirty,. (coz they’re makulit and malikot) so this kind of a shoe is much recommended to them.
i only wear sandals only if mum will put socks on my feet first, that way my feet won’t get dirty + yes, these shoes are really ideal for tots like me! 🙂
Yes, comfort should be the first to consider in buying shoes for toddlers and I normally add an allowance with the size.
mum does that, too, given that i have huge feet + they just grow too fast! 🙂
I also let my kids choose in buying their shoes but most of the time I choose for them. i choose which I think would be comfortable for them and it’s for them to agree or not.
I always let them choose what they want…but of course with a “little” guidance from me hahah
Those pair really look comfy! I’m very particular with shoes that I would end up buying three at a time! 🙁 bad? ahaha…thanks for the top tips!
