There is nothing like shoe shopping for an active toddler with a tiny size 4 shoe size. She is on the go 24-7, that is when she is not asleep. Having forgotten what it was like getting shoes for a little baby turned toddler, I was optimistic heading into the stores. Yet, it was quickly obvious that choices were slim. Of course, if you are a tiny tot that spends most of the time on carpets or if you are an active preschooler, you have plenty of options. My situation was more of an in-between where neither Robeez nor Nikes would do. I quickly turned to Crocs which are made in every color, configuration and now even style. However, I found that there was not enough stability in the heel for my ever-tripping tot. That was when I discovered Keen shoe, apparently a popular phenom, and I am now planning on getting one for everyone. Keen is a perfect shoe for toddlers and up for many reasons:
- Its solid base and flexible top help the developing foot stand on solid ground without much effort
- It’s waterproof and breathable – perfect for hot summer months and running through the sprinklers
- It’s adjustable, so if your baby’s foot is slimmer than usual, you can adjust to her content
- It comes in beautiful colors
- You can wear a matching one, and it’s perfect for outdoor exploration
