Snow Shoes/boots for Early Walker

My 13 month old has been walking for a couple months, but he's still in Robeez and the early walker Stride Rite shoes because he freezes in place if I put any more rigid soled shoes on him. I know developmentally, they need flexible shoes. Does anyone know of any good snow shoes or boots for this stage? He's in size 3.5. Or where I might get some sort of shoe covers for the snow, besides a plastic bag? Thanks

What can I do next?

Preschoolians have really flexable shoes. They're not as flexible as Robeez because they don't have leather on the bottom. It' more like a sylicone, or a soft, clear rubber. They also have 3 different inserts with each shoe; one is for wide feet, another is for average feet, and the last is for narrow feet. The toe is clear on the bottom as well so that you can check the fit without just smooshing the end of the toe. Good luck with your search.

Try www.onestepahead.com - they might have what you are looking for. I have usually found whatever I happened to be looking for on their site. Fairly reasonable shipping cost. Good luck!

I wouldn't worry about it much. Odds are he won't really walk in the snow much this year. (mine never did)

www.onestepahead.com had a type of boot cover a year ago - but I haven't seen them in recent catalogs. I found these online - plus there a other suggestions at the bottom of the page. Hope that helps!

Wal-Mart has some pretty cool boots that are similar to a Croc on the bottom but have a sherpa type part coming up. my kids thought they were pretty cool and they had some little sizes. Good luck

when the boy is in the house let him be bare foot it is so much better for him. shoes are ok when out. but for snow and such you really don't need any thing expensive. we all think of support for the ankle when walking, our bone do tha with out the help you will actually do more harm than good. really.
