Toddler Cowboy Boots
From LoveToKnow Shoes
Rustle up a cute pair of toddler cowboy boots for your little boy or girl by using LoveToKnow’s helpful tips and hints.
Knowing When to Purchase Toddler Cowboy Boots
As any parent knows, shopping for a baby and toddler can be fun. The clothing is adorable and cheap, too. Toddler shoes can be especially enjoyable to purchase—they come in sneakers, sandals, and yes, even cowboy boots.
Yet you should hold off on purchasing boots for your child until he or she has mastered the art of walking. Because many toddlers are not sure on their feet until between fifteen and eighteen months (or more), you want to give them ample time to learn to walk barefoot before introducing footwear. Toddler cowboy boots are no exception; traditional ones are heavy and may feel awkward. Additionally, a small heel is built onto some of these boots, making it even more difficult for children to walk steadily.
Of course, if you are simply purchasing the boots for play time or a photograph, the walking ability of your child is negligible. But with the cost of children’s shoes, you should take the time to find a pair that he/she will be able to wear long after the photo is taken.
Fashionable Footwear for Your Toddler
The amount of choices you have for your little one when it comes to cowboy boots is numerous. You can favor a traditional western look to your child’s boots, purchasing them in black, gray, or brown leather. They can have tips, chains, or have snake or ostrich print. Two-tones in blacks, browns, and grays are popular choices.
You are not limited to the traditional boots when it comes to picking out a pair. They frequently come in colors (such as red, purple, or pink) and have accessories. Keep in mind that hard soled boots may be more difficult or uncomfortable for a toddler if you plan to have your child walking in them for a significant amount of time.
Consider the following features on fashionable toddler boots when choosing boots:
- Western spurs
- Blinking light-up boots
- Horse picture on boots
- Eagle picture on boots
- Boot chains
- Boot bracelets
- Star shapes on boots
Places to Shop
Finding the perfect place to shop for your toddler cowboy boots can be difficult. You can check with western wear stores in your area. Country gift shops may also feature children’s sections that carry kids’ cowboy boots.
Ordering them online may be a bit more difficult, as you cannot try them on before you buy. Be sure to read the sizing and fit guide to ensure you order the correct pair. These retailers offer a wide variety of cowboy boot choices:
- The Wild Cowboy—Choose from an array of boots from traditional to fashionable. Most are in the 30 dollar range.
- Drysdales—Search for toddler boots by brand name, including Smoky Mountain Boots, Jama Old West, and Durango.
- Nashville Boot Co.—Featuring over sixty choices in infant/child’s boots, you are sure to find the perfect pair for your toddler.
- Zappos—The wildly popular online shoe store also sells a nice selection of toddler sized cowboy boots.
- Boot Barn—Find cowboy and western-style boots for your toddler at this retailer.
Saving money on toddler cowboy boots can be a priority for many parents, especially if they are only being used for photographic purposes. Checking online sales sites like eBay or Craigs List can result in big savings. Yard sales or consignment stores may also yield great results for those who need to find discount shoes.
Complete the Look
When purchasing your child’s cowboy boots, be sure you pick up accessories to complete the country western look. This can include bandanas, denim jeans or denim jackets, western shirts, or hats.
Regardless of your need for toddler boots, you can find the style you want with a little searching. Keep in mind the comfort of your child and his/her walking ability to make sure your money is well spent.
