Squeaky Feet Kids Shoes

When my son was around a year old, my husband and I waited in anticipation for his first steps. And when that day finally came, we were thrilled, to say the least. But it didn’t take long for our little guy to realize that walking took effort, while crawling could get him to his destination quickly and easily. So although he could walk, our son refused to.
We would stand him up on his feet and coax him over to us, and he would just look at us with his adorable baby grin, drop to his knees and crawl.

I must admit, I did get frustrated and impatient. I wanted to see my little guy walk and run and I knew he could do it. He did finally give in. And of course now he is running around all over the place.

Last month I received a pair of Squeaky Feet Kids Shoes to try out on my son. These clever shoes come with a removable squeaker in the heel. The fun sound encourages crawlers to walk and also teaches young ones to walk the proper way, as the squeak won’t work if they are walking on their toes, instead of their heels.

My son was excited to put on his new shoes. It did take him a few minutes to realize that the squeaking he was hearing was occurring with each one of his steps. But once he did, I wish you could have seen the joy in his face, as he began walking, running and dancing all over the house. For about twenty-five minutes he just stepped, squeaked and giggled. He had such fun.

I realized then, that these shoes would have been wonderful to have had on hand back when we were trying to get him to walk. I really believe that if he had had the Squeaky Feet Kids Shoes on his feet, he would have started walking a lot sooner.

And now that he is running all over the place, the squeak comes in handy, allowing me to hear him throughout the house.

Whether you are looking for sandals, sneakers, slip-ons or Mary-Janes, the Squeaky Feet Kids shoes come in a large variety of styles. They can also be found ready to order in sizes 4-8. Sizes 9-12 can be specially ordered for you, if need be.
This August, a new line of music sneakers will be released in Spiderman, Mickey Mouse, and Minnie Mouse themes, which will be sure to get your little ones off of their knees and onto their feet.

If you would like to win a pair of Squeaky Feet Kids Shoes for your little one, please leave a comment below. We will be giving away a pair to a pair of you. We will announce the winners on August 12th.

  7. These shoes are a great safety tool. My son just turned 1 year last week and he will be walking any day now and I know once he starts he is gonna be gone and these shoes would be a great way to keep track of him.

    Thanks for this contest it is a great prize!

  17. These are really cute! My son will be 6 months next week. I can’t wait till he starts walking.

  20. What a novel idea. My kids are learning to walk right now, so this would be just great!

  28. Adorable! I’d love to see my daughter’s face trying these out, plus it would be great to be able to hear her slipping away from me in public. Thanks for the giveaway!

  39. We would love to win this for our little one since she is all over the place just about ready to walk. Thanks for a fab giveaway!

  44. I have a sneaky little walker so I could really use a pair of these. Please randomly pick me!

  46. I would really LOVE to have a pair of these for my little girl! I think it’s great that these shoes squeak – I’ve searched all over for a pair like this, without any success.

  61. I’d love to win a pair. I think my son would really enjoy wearing them. Thanks for the opportunity!

  65. I love these! Our fist baby is due in September (a girl!) and these would be cute to have around Christmas time!

  68. I had a pair of these and the only thing I didn’t like was the squeakers came out and I never found them. If I got them again I would super glue the squeakers in because I just loved them. I LOVED them. You can tell where your kid is without looking up if you are busy. They are fantastic.

  70. Canvas camoflage since I just bought my grandson a camoflage outfit to match his dads. he would be so cool having the matching shoes.
    Thank you for all your hard work providing us with these neat prizes.

  83. These would be great for my nephew – he is pulling himself up now and standing, but he’ll be trying out his walking legs soon.

    My daughter is already walking and has a pair of squeaky shoes – she LOVES them. You can’t stop getting her to run, stomp and jump in them.
    Plus, if you’re out somewhere, you can always tell where she is. Thanks!.

  84. Oh my goodness! These would be perfect for my son! We are currently going through the same thing that you did with your son. He would rather crawl than practice walking. I think these shoes would help us tremendously! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  101. Oh, my son would LOVE these! He loves anything that makes lots of noise, so the squeaker would be so exciting.

  102. They have some very cute designs. I know my dogs would be lured by the squeaking chase my son around everywhere in these shoes thereby making him walk even more!

  104. My son will soon be walking and these would be great. I love that they have a removable heel!

  107. OH, I’ve been wanting a pair of these for my daughter for a while! She loves to wear shoes…and loves to prance around the house in dresses. These would encourage her cute stepping! Thanks!

  116. Aren’t they precious!! My 1 year old daughter loves to “prance” around just being silly and this would make her sooo happy!

  124. They are so cute. When I was at the mall over the weekend,a little girl was wearing a pair of the squeaky shoes…she looked so happy wearing them, hearing the sound of her shoes squeak as she walked (toddled) around. I think her mom liked them too ‘coz she can hear where her child is going.

  130. I’d love to win these for my neighbor’s new baby girl. The Mary Janes are adorable and my girl is way to big! Thanks!

  132. These are too cute. my little boy would love them. What a great bday gift too…mines on the 12th 😛

  138. These are adorable. I remember a little girl who was adopted from China and her parents bought her a similar shoe while visiting there. However, they weren’t as cute as these. I would love to win them for my nephews new little girl who he left back home to serve in Afghanistan. These would be a great addition to the care package I am sending to his wife. Thanks!

  142. we could really use these for my daughter who is on the verge of walking. thanks!

  149. These are remarkably affordable and look very well made and cute styles! My 9 month old is just starting to walk and these would be great!

  153. I really like the styling on these shoes! Thanks for the giveaway! Have a great weekend.

  155. My son will be 1 next week. He has been cruising around the coffee table for 3 months, but has refused to let go. Maybe these would give him the motivation he needs!

  160. Our son is a toe-walker and at 24 months old, we’d like to break the habit sooner than later…these shoes look like they might help…and they’re cute too! I’d love love love to win a pair! 🙂

  161. So cute!! My baby’s pulling herself up on everything and I know it’s just a matter of time before she’s exploring on two legs!

  162. Just Adorable! I love the White vinyl flowers in a Size 8 for my Daughter. Thank you so much for having this!

  164. What a cute idea- they’re adorable and you always know where your kids are in your house even when they are ignoring you.

  166. While I will probably cry when my third and final baby takes off walking, I know he will be much happier when he does. No more looking out the window while big brother and sister run around and play with the pups outside. These are ingenious.

  168. Went to the site, and fell in love with it! I’d love to buy some! Cute cute!I hope I win for my son on the way!

  170. I have a son turning one in August and he wont walk unless he has both our hands, I think this is a GREAT invention! He is a very busy boy and loves music, maybe this would be just the thing to get him going! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  174. My daughter just turned 1 in July, and we have been trying so hard to get her to walk! I just saw a cousin that had bought her daughter a few of these, and she is walking everywhere!

  190. I would love a pair of these for my nephew who will be starting preschool in the fall. these would be great first day of school shoes.

  193. This is such a wonderful idea. My little girl is doing the same thing, crawling so more efficient. I would love a pair of these. Can’t wait til she is running and dancing!

  195. What a great idea! I’ve always tied bells to my daughter’s shoes, to keep a “ear” on her. 🙂

  196. How cute and what a fun idea! Will have to check those out for sure! 🙂 (And would love to win one as well!)

  212. Oh, how appropriate to find this giveaway today! I just heard from my sister-in-law that my little niece walked alone for the first time today so these would be great for her. What better encouragement for walking than to be able to make noises? Thanks for a great giveaway!

  213. This is such a great and adorable idea! I’d love to win this for my son. Thanks for this giveaway.

  223. I’d love these for our little boy we are adopting from Russia 🙂

  224. My grandson just started walking. I couldn’t wait for his first steps but now the problem is keeping up with him! These shoes would be a tremendous help and they are so adorable. He hates to keep shoes on but I think he would LOVE these!!

  230. My baby’s getting close to that walking stage – he’s holding onto furniture. He would love these shoes – he likes noise.

  234. My daughter hates to walk but loves noises. This would motivate her to walk so I can stop carrying her.

  237. A friend of mine brought a bunch of squeaker shoes home with her after she adopted her daughter from China. I fell in love. They’re SO cute.

  241. My little one would love these, she loves shoes all colors and styles, she is a true girly girl.

  247. These just might drive me crazy… but I’d love to give them as a gift to my cousins son!

  249. wow i love to win a pair for my little one and well any little girl shoes will do size 4 to 5 baby shoe thanks

  252. I love these and would love to win a pair for my little girl. I can not believe how affordable they are!
    Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!

  254. Oh, these shoes “sound” haha so adorable! Its really a great idea to make thems squeaky!

    Another great giveaway, thanks!

  258. I have two under two, and they will both love these! I can take them to the park and just let them run and run…. (well, when the 7 month old can run 🙂 )…

    Such a cute idea!

  260. These are cute and I can see the value in them, but I have been around a couple of little ones who had them and they can get annoying pretty quick.

  263. Love the little squeaker!! These cute shoes would be perfect for my 11month old niece who is just starting to walk. thanks :O)

  265. how neat – I love the idea of being able to hear my little fella as he roams around and explores the house on his own. I always hate it when he gets “too quiet”! Thanks

  267. This is very cleaver. My oldest walked on his tippy toes …well he’s 7 and I think he still might..and we always wondered how to make it stop. This is a wonderful shoe that I would love for my new baby.

  268. These would be perfect for my 20 mo, who prefers walking on his toes and therefore worries Momma. I’d love to win!

  269. Like your son, she prefers to crawl because it’s faster and easier. Even if I don’t win these shoes, I may have to purchase them anyway – maybe they’ll do the trick in getting her to walk more.

  271. It would be fun to win those for my grandbaby! We would have a blast watching/listening to her–when she is ready to walk and then get a snicker out of her driving mommy crazy with the sound! Hee Hee!

  272. I would love to win a pair for my daughter. But we live in Serbia and i don’t know how you could deliver them to us.

  274. Wish I could win two pairs! LOL My six month old foster daughter has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, this just might help her learn to move her feet! I’m also expecting a baby boy in November, what a great “baby shower” gift these would make!

  278. These would be wonderful! We have a huge house and it is a challenge to keep track of our little one!

  280. These are adorable! I would love to win a pair! Thanks for the opportunity to win a pair.

  282. Very cool gift. My youngest is only six months, but she’s already crawling. At this rate, she’ll need squeaky shoes in eight weeks. (And I’ll need an extra-large mug to hold my coffee! When does that giveaway come in?)

  284. As long as you promise they won’t drive me crazy 😉

    They look cute, I’d love to win.

  288. These are so cool. When my sister-in-law, Karin, was in China a number of years ago adopting her second daughter, Molly, she bought several of them. They were all over the place there but couldn’t be found anywhere here in the US. I’m thrilled they’re now available.

    I’d love a pair for my 3 year old daughter who is now walking in her walker. She’s not walking that much, primarily in therapy, because just a short 100 foot walk is a real workout for her, and these shoes, if they’re big enough to go over her AFO’s would be a great motivation for her.

  294. Perfect timing for my little boy who is crawling like a fiend and starting to cruise the furniture. Walking can’t be too far away! Yikes!

  302. These shoes are so cute. I wish they were around for my oldest, but they would be perfect for my youngest who is still getting the hang of the whole walking thing!

  303. My little girl is just getting ready to start walking – these would be perfect.

  304. Wow, those sound great! I’ll have to get a pair for my son. He is just about to walk!

  305. I’ve got a 2-month-old who is no where near walking, but I know from experience that the time will just fly by and soon enough she will be. I’d love a cute pair of shoes for her.

  307. “My son was excited to put on his new shoes. It did take him a few minutes to realize that the squeaking he was hearing was occurring with each one of his steps. But once he did, I wish you could have seen the joy in his face, as he began walking, running and dancing all over the house. For about twenty-five minutes he just stepped, squeaked and giggled. He had such fun.”

    That is so cute. I can almost see him now — even though I haven’t a clue what he looks like. LOL

  309. My baby girl has just started pulling up. She walks around holding our hands right now. But she hasn’t been brave enough to take her own first step. I would love to put these shoes on her feet and coax her to walk on her own. I think she would squeal with delight once she figured out that the squeaks were under her control.

    Pretty please, pick me!!!

  313. What a fabulous idea! And they’re cute too! I’ve never heard of these before. I’m wondering if they could also help kids with disabilities with some extra motivation and immediate reinforcement for learning to walk….. Maybe 5MFSN should post a link too! Thanks for a great review and a wonderful giveaway!

  317. Hee hee. We always joked about needing to put a cowbell around our sons’ necks so we could hear where they were when they were being ‘too quiet’. :o) These would have come in handy then. What a great idea!

  318. I would love to win a pair for my youngest son!!! He is going to need a new pair for fall anyways! :o)

  319. I’ve seen these before! They do get a bit annoying after awhile, but they’re still handy, especially for keeping track of your kids. I’d love a pair of these for my son, for someday.

  320. Oh, those would make my little boy’s day!! He loves to run and dance and I can just seem him stomping around the house in them and showing them off to the grandparents. 🙂

  321. These are adorable. My daughter has a really hard time with shoe feeling right on her feet. She has an extremely flat foot and nothing fits right.

  322. How fun! I have a soon to be walker who i think might could use the extra encouragement!

  324. All my girls are already runners/climbers, but these shoes would make a great baby gift! Count me in…

  326. The real reason these shoes are so great is that you can HEAR where your child is when she runs away from you. I first bought these for my daughters for crowded playgrounds.

  327. These are really neat. My little one just started walking. This could definitly come in handy.

  328. How adorable! My daughter is taking her first steps, these would be great for her. I’d always know which room she was in.

  332. What a cool idea! My son did the same thing with walking- started and then stopped. Wish I had known about these with the first two! Maybe for #3…

  333. This sounds like just what my son Abraham needs–motivation!! He has been walking on furniture and fingers for quite a while now, but on 7/26, at his 1st birthday party, he took two steps on his own!! We were so excited and are waiting for him to step some more…but it hasn’t happened!! 🙂 I’d love to see him in a pair of Squeaky Feet shoes…he’d be thrilled too!! Thanks!

  334. My daughter is close to outgrowing all her squeaky shoes. I’d love to get some new ones for her.

  338. We have new baby coming around Thanksgiving time. I am sure with three big brothers to chase, this baby is not going to have trouble getting going, but the shoes are very cute none the less. And I like that the squeakers are removable. 🙂

    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  339. These are so cute! I would love a pair for my daughter…hopefully she’ll be needing them in a few months!

  340. Erica, my husband and I are convinced that our little guy is opting not to walk. We believe he is happy just crawling quickly and does not want to make the effort.

    These shoes look great and could definitely help to motivate my little one.

  341. This would be wonderful for my daughter. She has Down syndrome and the sound would encourage her to walk. She is almost there. This might just be what she needs.

    Thanks.
    Robyn

  342. I’ve seen these before and I love them! I’ve been thinking of getting a pair for Pufferfish. She always pulls off her shoes and I’m constantly losing them in places! Maybe if she had these, she’d WANT to keep them on!

  343. Those are absolutely adorable! My new little walker would look super cute in a pair of those. 🙂

  344. These would be perfect for my little gal when she comes home from China and gets to roaming and exploring her new digs 🙂

  346. Our 17 month old daughter would adore a pair. She loves “dancing” around the house and these shoes would keep her going. Thanks for the giveaway!
