These Are the BEST Baby Shoes!!!!!!
One of the unforseen consequences of baby shoes affixed with those ubiquitous Velcro fasteners is that they're gone in 30 seconds once they're on a baby's feet. Even babies with less-than-well-developed motor skills can pry off the damn things in no time at all, really.
As a result of those poorly designed shoes, as well as lowtop baby shoes in general, my baby boy went barefoot in summer and wore feet pajamas in cooler months.
Not until he was 10 months old did it occur to me that the solution to his insufferability when it came to shoes was buying these excellent classic Converse All-Star Chuck Taylor Hi-Tops. Not only are they the cutest and coolest shoes out there (esp. in basic black), but if you double-knot the laces, your kid will never pry these off. Mine didn't.
He wore these (size 7, toddler) for a solid six months, and wore them out, but they never fell apart. They held up through playground duty, walks around the track, daily errands, being puked on more than a few times, and hence, thrown in the washing machine just as many. As Bob Seger would say, "like a rock."
When it came time to bronze our boy's first pair of baby shoes, these were the ones chosen to be immortalized in copper, forever freezing in time every wrinkle, fold, and worn-down rubber. They look even cooler all bronzed!
My boy's been wearing his size 8's now for about eight months, and although they're just about ready to pinch his big toes, they're holding up just as well as the first pair, despite more wear and tear. We break out the size 9's tomorrow.
Hooray!

These particular shoes are in pink. Lucky for us, we just had a baby girl, so these are going on her pink tootsies just as soon as her feet are big enough.
