I have always had a passion for fashion. I think I got it from my Grandma. You should meet her, she's the most stylist grandma you would ever meet. Over the years, I've come to truly find style in the little things. I think my obsession with baby feet in stylish shoes was enough to get me started. Initially, it was not easy finding the right pair of shoes for my little one when it came time for dress up. As with newborns, they grow really fast so in order to catch up with this rapid growth I did what most moms do. I bought one size up in baby shoes. Well, that seemed to work for about 2 secs. Then, I realized the clothes I intended to pair with those shoes no longer could fit...Welp! Go Figure! So now I really was on a mission to find the perfect accessories and shoes. I was inspired to create a business catered to children's footwear and accessories because I wanted to help other moms find it easy to  dress up their little ones without having to worry. Hence, Walkabout Baby was born. 

I'm learning something new everyday. As I go along, I'll be sharing my thoughts...Stay tuned! XOXO

Your baby's feet are still very delicate in the pre-walking stage. Encouraging your child to walk barefoot promotes natural foot muscle development. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends a pair of shoes with non-skid, flexible soles once your baby starts walking. To give an extra protection against hazardous objects, uneven, hot, or cold surfaces we recommend our soft sole genuine leather shoes. They'll keep your baby's feet safe and snuggly.

Watching your baby take his/her first steps is an exciting milestone. Is your little one cruising already? Maybe it's time to invest in his/her first pair of baby shoes.

Here are three specific tips to follow when shopping for the perfect pair that's best for your new walker:

1. Soft soled shoes - preferably made of leather, mimics barefoot walking and allows your baby's feet to breathe comfortably.
2. Flexible & Lightweight shoes - supports natural foot movement.
3. Non-skid shoes - Prevents sliding or slipping.
