Edited: Least waiting tomw for baby's first shoes, Flatbush or BP?

Where in Flatbush or BP, that does good fitting, will I wait the least tomorrow morning, for 1st pr of baby shoes?

Which store(s) in or nr Flatbush (Id go to BP iof there are better places there) and which salesperson(s) would you go to for the best fit for a year old first pr of shoes?

Whats the price range lately?

Is there a specific brand or style that experienced Imas buy?

You are the wrong time of year to get baby shoes.

The lines are insane and out the door.

I am not makpid on any sales person or store. I got to the one closest one. I touch/bend the shoe, to see that that the sole is flexible.
Don't get those shabbos shoes style noisy shoes.

I've done well at shoelaces on 13/53.

Shoes range from $90 thru $130.

I've heard that Schwartz does let you in with first walker, even if the line is out the door. You can call them to confirm.

Baby just started to walk... we cant change that.

How about if people go before store opens?

Schwartz is great but their lines are insane. They open at 10, I’ve seen people wait outside from 9 am. Call them and see if they will let you come for a first walker without having to wait so long. Good luck!

I trust Schwartz’s fit 1000% for first walker. The sons are the best fitters, if Mr Schwartz Sr is there you can also run it by him. I’m actually waiting for school to start to bring in my baby to get their first pair. I have them in moccasins to protect the foot now. 14th Avenue shoe store also fits well.

I’ve been very happy with Footsteps on Kings Highway. No need to shlep to Boro Park and deal with the crowds there.

If you don’t want to deal with lines just measure ur babies foot and order geox or naturino online. They make good shoes.

How will tomorrow's wait compare to the expected wait, Sunday mornings throughout September (I work midweek)?

I like Schwartz, call them right when they open and ask how busy they are. They open at 10. Good luck!

It’s easier for a baby to walk barefoot or in socks. I like to wait as long as possible to buy shoes.

If your baby just started walking it's best to wait a few weeks before buying shoes
