Can you please suggest a good first shoe for baby?

I second pediped. Very soft soles so helps the baby feel the ground and learn to walk. Yet it's quite grippy so helps balance. I moved on to stride ride after pediped - such a good grip! Really great shoes. Word of caution : kids shoes are shockingly expensive ($60-70) and they outgrow them so quickly so I'd avoid buying too many at once!
