Hi. just wanted to let you know my daughter, almost one, wears size

1 shoes and I lucked out at Payless shoe store. They had some pretty

cute girl shoes with rubber soles, not the soft infant kind. They

were also flexable and bend well, not to mention pretty inexpensive!

Infant size versions 0-4 of older kid walking shoes. Not all Payless

shoes have the same ones though. Good luck!
