Best shoe I have ever found. Miracle shoes doing miracles in our home.
My daughter toe walks. We’ve spent a ridiculous amount of money to get her to wear shoes and she’s never has. She’s four and a half. Hundreds of dollars on shoes. I found these on a google search of best shoes for AFOs. Wish I would’ve found these years ago.First off she loves auditory input. So the squeak is right up her alley and she’ll do what is necessary to get them to squeak. That motivation alone has her heel to toe walking which is a miracle in our home. Haven’t even needed to use the AFOs though we are going to. Maybe if I found these years ago we wouldn’t need them to begin with.Now most shoes when you put them on her she walks weird. Like a dog does when putting on shoes. The funny walk that people video tape and put on fb. It’s cute but counterproductive for our needs. These are the first shoe she walked naturally in, didn’t panic when the shoe was on, and didn’t send her into sensory overload. It’s a miracle I tell you.Watching her run heel to toe is tear jerking. She loves the squeak and it urges her to run to get the squeak faster. It’s such a huge deal.Her leg tendon/muscles aren’t so tight. Part of her PT is massaging and stretching the tendon so it’s not so taught. Which is a fear of toe walking kids. As well as the surgery a lot have to go through by cutting the Achilles’ tendon and reattaching it. Toe walkers over time make it so tight that that’s the only option. It happens a lot to them in their teens. I absolutely do not want that for my baby. Intervention is paramount. These are priceless miracle shoes for us.The designs are super freaking adorable as well as the names of the shoes. I mean come on, those are amazing and whoever thought them up was a genius.I loved them so much we got two pairs for my daughter. One for inside and outside. We may get a third if the AFOs stretch out the shoe. Tbh I’m just happy she’ll wear them and excited there’s so many different designs I’d buy the whole dang collection. We bought Duchess Bubble Sparkles the unicorn and Leo Longfire the dragon for her (so far and I mean how cute are those names) and Captain Zuga the pirate skull shoe for my 16 month old. These are this houses shoes from now on and I won’t buy any others.My only plea is the sizes stop at 13. We got 10s for her due to the AFO you need to buy a bigger size and they don’t have half sizes which tbh isn’t a big deal at all. But. They stop at size 13. Please please please from the bottom of my heart make them for bigger kids. We have time till her foot gets there but I’ll be devastated when she outgrows the last size shoe. I mean we have time probably years in fact (I hope). I’m even tempted to buy one of each size just to have them for the future just in case.Can’t say enough about these shoes. Oh they have a squeaker you can turn off and on I’m not sure if I mentioned that. Sweetest sound I’ve ever heard as it only squeaks when you walk heel to toe. Super soft material with give. Both my kids seem to do awesome in them and my daughter is flourishing in them. Can’t say enough amazing things about them.Miracle shoes. Pure and simple.

Squeaky shoes
The shoes are too stinking cute. Absolutely adore all the different designs. High quality. Good Straps. A bit big on my LO but can't wait for him to squeaking around the house. Will definitely be purchasing other designs!

Love these
I really wanted squeaky shoes for my 17month old. First, you can turn off the squeaker if you want which I think is cool. Second, for someone younger, the noise isn’t every step. They do have to hit it right to make noise and my son walks more on his tip toes. I love hearing the noise. The little dog detail is cute and the height is perfect with stability. They are super easy on and off. Love watching him walk by and confuse the dogs with the noise. Will definitely purchase another pair. These have encouraged our son to be more mobile outside and not always wanting to be carried.

Fits great with SMO
The media could not be loaded. Absolutely in love with these shoes. I went on a hunt for the right shoe for our little ones new brace... We are new to the game and didn't realize how hard it was to find shoes 🙄. I ordered these because they had next day delivery, and they had other good reviews from fellow parents who littles have SMOs.I'm glad I took that risk! They are super cute, well made, seem comfortable, and the right fit for my babies tiny feet! The squeaker was a bit of a surprise to me haha. I guess I didn't read the description too well 😂. My little one loves it though, she thinks it's hilarious! On the plus side, at least I know where she's at in the house! There is an on & off switch for those curious! Thanks for making an affordable shoe that fits!

Cute shoes
My son absolutely loves these shoes, follow their size guide. The squeaking is not too loud. They're also lightweight and breathable which is what I look for in shoes for him.

Little Feet
So much for the "pitter-patter" of little feet. Now it's the "squeaky squeak" of little feet. My two-year-old daughter was given these for her birthday (the owl version), and they are pretty good so far. I'll do five stars if they hold up well. With these on, it's like hearing a dog toy running around the house. She can still go "stealth" by walking on her toes, which cause no noise to be made, but so far she likes hearing herself walk around for the most part.The shoes have a generous amount of velcro straps. Nice and big, so they should hold well. Her last shoes had a thin strip, and while they still held, it didn't spread the pressure of the grip over a wide area of the foot. They are obviously comfortable, as my daughter has asked to have them on even when they are not needed.The little switch to turn the squeak on and off is on the side of the shoe, near the bottom. For this reason, they say not to get the shoe wet, so these are not for playing outside on a rainy day. Also, the bottoms of the ones we have are different, so a child can learn which shoe goes on which foot. I'm sure the rest are like that, but don't know.So, all in all, a good pair of shoes with a neat touch. We were deciding between these and some light up shoes, but ended up getting these because, really, who wants their kid watching their feet to see the lights instead of watching where they are going? At least this is an audible, not visual, feature for a child. They can listen and still pay attention to where they are going.

Great for SMO Orthotics
The media could not be loaded. I am not sure about durability as we haven’t worn them but in the house a couple hours a day, but I love them so much we are buying a second pair to wear outside the house for our SMO’s. Daughter loves the squeaker. Super cute. Easy to put on over the SMO brace. 10/10. She is usually a size 4 and I sized up to a 5 to be sure.
