Shoes for 15 month old

DD is 15 months (tomorrow, omg!) and I'm really confused about shoes for her. She doesn't wear any at the moment, just socks with grip on the bottom. I'm finding it hard lately because she slips a fair bit (hardwood floors) and wants to play outside when it's wet. She walks really well now which is awesome. I'm confused as to what type of shoe to get for her. Some people say close to normal, others suggest a leather slipper. I noticed there are cute little Dunlop volleys for babies her age, but not sure if they're okay for her feet? I have no idea what size she is lol. What sort of shoes are best for an active 15 month old, especially outside?

I started with the volleys, soft sold, grippy & easy to get on & off.
We progressed to harder soled she's when she was wearing out the soles :p

Your best bet is to take her to a shoe shop and have her foot measured. Proper fitting shoes are important when they're first walking. My kids all started off in Clarkes but they are quite expensive.

Yep definitely agree there Tinks. Especially with her hips, it's important she has well supported feet. We were planning on going to Clarks tomorrow or next week for a fitting. Once she's fitted, does that mean we can go from that size/fit and find our own shoes for her from other stores? I was thinking one pair of good expensive shoes per size, the rest cheaper (but not rubbish) shows that she can knock about in in the yard and stuff.

PZ, can't really help with what shoes but just wanted to let you know that our DS changed between 2 different shoe sizes between 15 and 17 months. (I thought I was going crazy). I have found that different company's have different sizes, same as clothes. Some offer more space and some are smaller.

I have always bought clarks or other well fitted shoes.. Personally I have found the cheaper shoes don't last the distance with my kids, and I i don't always get the correct fit.

I normally get both kids fitted twice a year (once for summer shoes, and once for winter), and obviously if they need it in between. We normally have one pair of shoes that they wear all the time, and plastic shoes and gumboots for playing in the garden.

I have gotten all of my kids soft-soled leather shoes when they're that little, until they're about 18mths-2yrs old. Cheeky little soles and skeanie are the ones I have brought. They're good quality leather shoes. They can be a little expensive, but worth it, and they have lasted the distance for us.
As for sizing, I have found the sizes can vary wildly between stores/brands, so you would need to check sizes where ever you buy her shoes.

Get one pair of well fitted sturdy versatile shoes, and nothing else. They grow out of them so quickly. My DD has a pair of black Maryjanes, they go with everything, and she's always well supported.
