Baby booties are very useful. Non-toxic and organic baby booties add an extra layer of protection and care for the baby and for the Planet (no-pesticides, no-GMO, etc). Also, how incredibly softer are organic fabrics? The Mood Guide team selected non-toxic and organic baby booties from some of the more ethical, eco-friendly, sustainable, and affordable ♥︎ brands we could find online. We know there are many more out there and we are always looking for new brands to increase our slow-living baby wear list.

Do you need organic baby booties?
Of course, barefoot as much as possible is the best for babies. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), babies and toddlers’ feet develop best when not restrained in shoes.
However, you can’t always leave the baby with naked feet. Therefore, there is a functionality and a comfort aspect in dressing your baby’s feet. Also, how cute is a baby in a complete outfit? ♥︎
Probably the baby booties were created by some clever mom trying to fix this! They are super soft, pretty much like socks, but they have a slightly more elaborate design, almost like a shoe, which helps them stay on the foot.
Babu booties will do great from newborn, for warmth and cuteness, to first walkers and toddlers. The only difference is that you must go with anti-slippery soles for the first walkers.
In conclusion, baby booties, organic or not, add a layer of protection without restraining the feet’s natural movements, at any age of the baby or toddler.
Choosing the right bootie size online
You may or you may not be social distancing, but shopping for babies shoes online is a bittersweet experience. Every single time.
In one hand, all the comfort of online shopping. On the other hand: sizing.
So here is what you have to consider in order to avoid shopping mistakes:
- draw your baby’s foot on a paper
- measure the inches between the more distant points
- check the brand “size chart”(each brand has it’s own shapes and measurements)
- read mom’s reviews. They know from experience if that brand runs small or large
- when in doubt: size up! Always! Baby will grow into those booties.
Finally, never leave your baby or toddler in tight shoes. It is best to go barefoot than in tight poor quality shoes!
