Shoes & Sox were good for me... I got DS some when he had been walking for two months, and I only got them for daycare, as she likes to take the kids to the park. I cant remember the brand, but they are all leather, with a flexible sole. Clarks had the stiff sole, and I will probably get them next time. The shoe fitter suggested to come into the store monthly or 6 weekly to get his feet measured. They also do a buy 6 get the 7th pair free (i think those numbers are right) so it does make the $100 per pair a little easier to take...
But saying all that I make sure DS has plenty of shoe off time, and he helps with that, taking his shoes off at any opportunity he has ;) .

Its good to read this- DS is cruising only, and we hardly ever have anything on his feet- socks or slippers when its cold, but that's all. We're in the States right at the moment and its warm-ish here so we never put anything on his feet, and all these people are like "oh, where's his shoes?", like we're bad parents or something. Its like shoes have become this fashion statement rather than an important part of development!
