An interesting article here

My little boy also recently outgrew his first pair of Startright pre-walkers and the lady in the shop said he should really have something more solid and suppportive now but everything else we tried on made him cry so I got a second pair of the prewalkers even though he's walking well now. It also didn't sound right to me that he needs a solid "grown up" shoe yet so I'm really interested to see the Vivo article, thanks for the link. May have to make a trip up to Neil Street for our next pair!

I think the Startright prewalkers are kind of the next step up from cruisers and I've been really happy with them, they seem really comfy and the sole is quite soft but completely protects his feet in the park. We got them in Biff in Dulwich Village and they were ?24.
