Our Top 20 Picks for the Best in Cozy Baby Booties
The only thing almost as cute as sweet baby toes are baby toes in cozy little booties. Full disclosure, we went with soft booties all through the first year and then moved to soft soles leather mocs for year 2. We layered with warm socks on cold days and only worried about grippy bottoms once they started standing.
So what do we look for in the best of booties. First, they have to be easy to get on and off. No one wants to struggle with getting little feet into a bootie. Second, they have to stay on. Babies are notoriously wriggly with their feet and many a parent has come home to find one bare foot. Third, they have to be cozy and grow with your babe.
We researched what’s out there, asked around for favorites, tried and tested and give you a round up of the best in booties: organic cotton, merino wool, fleece, organic knit and crochet. Besides being seriously adorable, we also tried to find companies using only natural or organic materials.
