Recently, I asked my Instagram followers for their recommendations on the tiniest baby shoes. While I do advocate for babies being barefoot as long as possible, there are certain circumstances when shoes are the best choice. For example, when walking outdoors on rough surfaces or when extreme heat or cold prevent them from going barefoot. I do want to note that there are other brands that were suggested, but I tried to only list the ones that met my criteria!
For information on when it’s appropriate for babe to wear shoes, check out this post.
And as a reminder, here’s what I look for in a great shoe for kiddos if they’re not still able to just wear moccasins.

Here’s the top-recommended brands:
Ten Little (many many said that these run large and a size 3 fits like a 2 etc)
Wonder Nation at Walmart *many don’t fit my ideal criteria so be sure to reference back to the article above
Stride Rite *pay attention to the features, some are too tapered at the toe or too hard on the sole
Tree Grandpa rain boots *was told these run large
Woolybubs puncture-proof mocassin
