Shoes for pre walkers

[Convex]

My son is crawling and cruising but not standing without support or walking.

Normally I leave him barefoot but we are going on holiday somewhere I dont want him to be barefoot (insects, unfamiliar bugs, etc)

What sort of shoes do I need? Pram shoes? Proper shoes? Argh.

My daughter was at this stage for ages. We went to the shoes place in ED warehouse and got a pair of pre walkers. They were very soft but had a much more structured sole than moccasins. She is now in her second pair of early walker shoes now she is walking but these are rubber sole and quite a bit more rigid, but still not proper shoes if you get my drift. So there are a couple of different kinds I think. I have always found the ED warehouse lady very helpful and also the staff at biff in the village.

My crawling, cruising baby boy wears little leather pram shoe type things as mentioned by Carbonara. They're unstructured and hard to get off. I found clarks crawling shoes a bit of a rip off plus my daughter would just kick them off.

Those leather ones like Carbonara posted are fab, they took all my babies right through to walking confidently. They were light & comfy, but strong and not too easy to get off. Definitely would recommend.
