Soft baby trainers are a wonderful present for newborn babies. Whilst there are many different branded shoes for babies on the market at the moment, many are only suitable for older babies, not newborns.
A newborn baby's feet really can't cope with any hard fabrics so only the soft leather or canvas ones are appropriate.
There are many designs that look like actual trainers made from lovely soft fabric that would be perfect for babies.
Obviously because babies have delicate, pliable feet most trainers have elasticated heels which enables you to pull the shoes on and off with ease. You won't find these types of shoes with laces, or if there are laces they will be for aethetic purposes and won't be used to put the baby shoes on with.
You will find most of them start at size 0 but as these shoes can be worn until your baby is walking, they will go up to size 18 months - 2 years. Most children will make the transition from soft baby shoes to proper shoes or trainers once they've started walking.
Once upon a time it was quite difficult to buy shoes for newborn babies. Most people knitted booties instead which were probably much warmer and cosier that the shoes one can buy nowadays!
However, you were very much confined to one style whereas with modern styles, colours and designs are endless and can be mixed and matched depending on the clothes you're dressing your baby in.
