Toe Tapping

Kaya’s Kloset Shoes

It will be months before your little Houdini has a repertoire of tricks.

But his first act will inevitably include wiggling out of his socks right before your eyes.

Keep tiny toes covered in handmade booties from Kaya’s Kloset. One hundred percent cotton with corduroy or nonskid soles, the soft shoes come in dozens of designs and are perfect for precrawlers on up. (We even like them as house slippers for the preschool crowd.)

How do they stay in place? Simple elastic bands are stitched into the material around the ankles.

So they’ll stay on his feet, while he keeps you on your toes.
