Striderites...

I have heard nothing but great reviews
about these shoes. Coming from
grandparents, parents, aunts, whoever!
These are the one's i'm getting for .Oni.
they have a different style that i'll get
as well when the summer comes!
Has anyone used these? And did it have a
significant part of your child walking
early?

ive never herd of them but they look good
and seem to have enough support on the
ankles....We use only italian shoes for
babies because they have the best support
but they also cost a fortune!

The reason they say these shoes are
awesome with walking/balance is because of
the flat bottoms. There's no ridges, or
curves to make them wobble or fall.
Oni's been pulling up and standing
barefoot for a while. So I think with
these shoes she'll be able to just stand
there with no other support.

yeah its very crucial if she is starting
to stand that she wear shoes...Support on
their little flexible ankels is
important...And I guess the bottom too.

Its weird that you posted this... Cause
today I got parenting magazine in the mail
and it praises stride rite too!!!!!
The column also says this:
"babies younger than 9 months dont need
shoes at all."
"your baby doesnt need shoes indoors, in
fact, bare feet grip the floor better and
help them learn to walk."
"what to look for---flexible nonskid soles
are essential, but ankle or arch support
arent yet."

I've never heard of these shoes before,
and brayden is 11 months old and he has a
few pairs of shoes that he's never worn.
My house has all hardwood floors, so he's
mostly barefoot because like nat said,
better grip and all. I don't want him to
wear shoes until he's gotten pretty good
at walking, he still falls and stuff and I
think shoes will just make it worse at the
moment (the falling) and when we go places
he never walks anyways, i'm always
carrying him or he's in the shopping cart
or stroller.

Well...I got a pair donated, but they're
funky. So I looked em up.
Oni never wears shoes. I think she's worn
them about 4 times, and just because they
went with an outfit or whatever. She
*hates* them! Lol
from what i've heard...They're better than
bare feet. Because some feet are highly
arched, and can throw off balance. With
the shoes, the soles are completely flat
and can keep their ankles sturdy.
We don't have any carpet in the house, so
when she's barefoot, she clinches her
toots on the floor and pulls herself up
just fine.
I'm just trying to her to to balance
herself without the support of a chair/my
legs! Lol

my feet are highly arched- and it is to
your advantage-when I did ballet my
russian ballet teachers were always
talking about how lucky I was, because it
actually helps with coordinatin and
balance.
Plus that parenting mag was talkng about
how bare feet are better cause its more
natural so they learn faster.
Whatever.

My feet area flatter than the penguin's on
.K's avatar! 
but .Baron's feet are highly arched.
They say that most babies are flat footed
for a while. Hopefully .Oni isn't flat
footed forever like me.
It's painful at times. But it never held
me back from anything. I was always into
track&field.

My mom never put shoes on my little sister
unless they were flip flops after the age
of one. Then when she went to school my
mom would have to fight with her every
morning because she didnt' want to wear
shoes.

have you tried arch support inserts,
.Sarah? My mom's got fallen arches and
used to have pain in her ankles and knees
all the time, until her Dr. Suggested she
try them. Eight years later and as long
as she's wearing them she has no pain!

Ive always been told bare feet is the best
(but you obiously already know that ^_^)
but I just wanted to add that ive been
told (by trevor and his mother) that the
first shoes (real walking shoes) my little
girl will have are striderites, trevor and
all his brothers and sister all had
striderites, they swear by them, so im
assuming they are good because his mum is
very picky about stuff (shes cool, just
very picky cause she knows her caca, she
raised her son and daughter and trevor and
his 4 brothers, and if you met even one of
them you would wonder how she did it too
lol)

Natalia, how long did you do ballet? I
was a lifer until I rebelled at 17/18 and
quit. I'm sorry I did that now. It
feels like a piece of my life is
missing...

Stride rites are the best shoe. They've
been around a long long time!!!! They
give lots of support in the feet and
ankles for little ones learning to walk.
They may be more expensive, but they are
worth it!!
Personally I think it's best to put shoes
on babies to get them used to it. It's
also a protective measure.

I also became rebellious at like 14 and
stopped-and I really really regret it-my
body was built for ballet
