I love the support that the OshKosh shoes provide (and the leather uppers), but am not sure if the boys' styles are cute or not (the girls' are). I like Walnut too, and See Kai Run has a few cool boys' shoes. Good luck!

I don't know anything about the health part, but the owner of a well known children's shoe shop in London told me that All Stars are actually perfect as first shoes, because they have very very flexible soles (apparently the most important thing) and support the ankles (the high top ones of course). But again, I'm not an expert myself so don't take my word for it! I just love the look of All Stars...

I don't feel like such a bad mother anymore! I will definitely look into kids campers. And, yes, will probably buy him another pair of Converse and alternate with the pair of Clarks my mum bought him yesterday (she bought a different style - slightly better but definitely not something I would have bought myself).

I was brought up with always even well really small having at least 2-3 pairs of shoes as it is not healthy to wear same shoes everyday. My mam would interchange shoes every other day so the shoes that were worn the day before could 'breath'. So if you do that, your child won't wear your converse too much and you can still without feeling guilty put on every other day your fashionable converse or campers!

They are stylish and good for a short walk. I love it as well… but to be honest I think they are not comfortable. They are stylish and good for a short walk.

I think Camper has a much better insole and the look is good too. As soon as he grows up he can have two pairs of shoes... converse and a more sensible one.

I think between my two boys and all the various sizes, we have about 10 pairs of them in our shoe cupboard. Not to mention, my husband and I both wear them too. As far as support, I think it really only matters when they are first walking, when they're learning to balance and use their feet. Both my boys walked really early, and both of them were wearing Converse by the time they were one. But, I'm no health expert at all, and I'm sure there is evidence out there that their feet should indeed be supported. ????
