How do Squeaky Shoes encourage my child to walk?
Each time your little one takes a step they will be rewarded and motivated with a fun squeaking sound. This squeaking increases body awareness and entices your child to take their next step. Our squeaking shoes have flexible soles that offer traction to provide sure footing.

Do you recommend Squeaky Shoes for pre walkers? 
Experts agree that barefoot is best as your child is taking their first steps. Once your child spends two or more hours on their feet, they are ready to wear shoes. Squeaky Shoes can increase fun and create body awareness for pre-walkers who spend time in a baby saucer, bouncing swing or other exercise apparatus.

Can I disable the squeaker? 
Love the shoes but planning a trip to a quite place? No Problem, the squeak can be easily disabled either temporarily or permanently, in both or just one squeaky shoe and you will still have a gorgeous pair of shoes for your toddler to run about in. 

To temporarily disable- stick a small piece of tape over the squeaker of the shoe. This can then easily be removed when you would like to reactive the squeak. 

To permanently disable- put something permanent into the squeaker in the heel of the shoe. Many things will work such as dropping in some super glue or pushing a small piece of blue tac or plasterine. Alternatively, use a small pointy instrument such as a fork tine to bend the reed inside the squeaker of the heel of the shoe. All our squeaky shoes come with the squeaker permanently glued into the heel to ensure they are safe for your toddler to wear. 

For half the squeaky fun try disabling the squeaker in just one shoe!

How do I know what size of shoe to buy?
Measure your toddler’s feet from heel to toe while they are standing with flat toes. Then see our sizing guide on the main screen menu list. Feet will have their largest length and width after a day of activity, so measure in the afternoon. It is perfectly normal for one foot to be bigger then the other. Just work around the larger measurement. The recommended 1cm wiggle room is already built into our sizing guide. The shoes are quite a generous width. If your toddler has particularity wide feet then you should consider ordering one size up from their normal size.
