Okay, I’ve never tried the Bobux brand of shoes, but they do look rather similar in style to others we used and loved – although these are cheaper, even before the sale price.

The shoes are soft, natural leather and they have an elasticated ankle which provides a secure fit to ensure the shoes stay on – and amazingly, that really works! By some miracle, we never lost a pair of elasticated shoes, which is a bonus.

These aren’t really walker shoes, but they have suede slip-resistant soles, so should be good if your little one starts trying to walk.

There are some superbly cute shoes in the sale too – stars, flowers, hearts, cats, ladybirds, lions and frogs. They really are cute.
