Baby Girls Flower Bow Mary Jane Shoes

Crib shoes are mainly soft, lightweight footwear for prewalkers, stroller outings, indoor wear, and keeping little feet covered. First walker shoes are chosen more for secure fit, traction, and protection when a child begins walking on surfaces where bare feet are not practical. These Mary Janes have a flexible soft sole and are best treated as crib or prewalker shoes rather than rugged outdoor walking shoes. If your child is beginning to walk independently, see our first walker shoe guide for fit and footwear guidance.

The strap should be secure enough to keep the shoe from slipping off, but it should not press deeply into the top of the foot or leave strong marks. Fasten the strap while your baby's foot is resting naturally, then check that the shoe stays in place without squeezing the instep. If the strap must be pulled very tight just to keep the shoe on, recheck the shoe size and overall fit.

Not automatically. Thin socks or tights may take up very little extra space, while thicker socks can noticeably change the fit. Measure your child's foot first and check the shoes with the type of socks she will actually wear. For these Mary Janes, sizing up is recommended when your child is between sizes, has wider feet, or will wear thicker socks.

Avoid long soaking unless the shoe's care instructions specifically allow it. For these Mary Janes, gently spot clean the upper with a soft cloth, do not use bleach, and let the shoes air dry naturally. Long soaking and high heat can be harder on the knit upper, lining, sole, and attached decorative details.
