Best Baby Booties of 2023

Hudson Baby’s fleece booties are ideal for fall, winter, and spring. Combined with socks, they keep your baby’s feet toasty and warm, and they are soft enough to be comfortable without socks when the weather warms up.

We found the hook and loop closure to be durable, and it didn’t curl after a few rounds in the washer and dryer. The closure strip is long enough to make a snug fit for babies of all shapes and sizes, while the foot’s shape prevents pressure on the toes.

These genuine UGG baby booties sit relatively low on the ankle. The positioning of the hook and loop closure is more across the top of the upper foot than around the ankle, like many others.

The suede sole combined with the rubber gripper pattern makes these a good option for babies who have started to take their first steps but are not yet walking confidently enough to need proper shoes.

They are also an excellent choice for winter wear, especially if you have cold floors in your home.

Sometimes tiny baby socks are a pain. They come off quickly and get lost in the wash. So these booties are a stress-free alternative to socks or bare feet. The Goumi mittens and booties are exceptionally soft, making them an excellent choice for delicate newborn feet.

Both the mittens and the have soft hook and loop closures, ensuring they don’t come off quickly but aren’t restrictive or tight.

In addition, some of the booties and mittens sets have high-contrast patterns, designed to stimulate your baby’s eye and brain development.

BirdRock Baby is well known for their fleece booties and moccasins, so we were excited to discover they are now making lightweight, summer baby booties.

Made of 100% independently certified organic cotton, these baby booties have a three-snap fastening system. This means you can fine-tune the fit much more effectively than you can with some other styles.

We’re suckers for a cute print, and the raccoons, foxes, cacti, and Yellowstone prints are so adorable, we’re a little sad they don’t make these in adult sizes!

Like many other baby booties, this option from Ella Bonna has a snap closure that allows you to open them wide, making it easy to get them on your baby’s feet. They have a cushioned sole with a fine, PVC grip pattern grid on the underside to prevent slippage.

The fastening at the ankle is flexible enough to accommodate the chunkiest of ankles, so you don’t have to size up for them to fit.

When your little one starts to pull themselves up and cruise around the furniture, their delicate feet are protected. On the downside, this makes the booties less suitable for walkers who should go barefoot as much as possible.

A nicely balanced construction makes these organic cotton baby booties by Ella Bonna an excellent alternative to baby socks in the summer.

The thin cotton outer layer is lined with a soft, lightweight inner sock. This means these booties keep little toes warm but don’t go as far as making them toasty.

There are two snap points, making the booties as comfortable for the chunkiest of legs as they are for the unpadded limbs of less heavy babies. This also gives the booties a much longer functional life, meaning they’ll last through an entire spring-summer-fall period.

We adore the look of the Conda baby booties. They look more like tiny boots, rather than the rough foot-shape look of other booties.

A “hidden” encased strip of elastic at the back of the heel means your little one doesn’t end up with red pressure marks on their feet from the elastic.

And two strips of hook and loop tape allow you to make plenty of adjustments as your child grows. We also like the range of adjustment because this allows you to put the booties on over leggings, pants, or thick tights and still get a good fit.

Zutano is a family-owned US business that’s been making baby products since 1989. Their experience shows in the design, cut, and quality of these lightweight, organic cotton booties, that are made without any animal products making them an excellent option for vegans.

The soft and breathable cotton washes well and doesn’t shrink in the dryer, although you must be careful to wash them in a cold cycle and dry them on low.

The only quality issue is that some people find that when their baby has crawled on rougher carpets or floors, a hole can develop in the upper surface, roughly where the nail of the big toe is.

From unicorns and snowmen to ducklings and puppies, Hudson Baby’s novelty fleece baby booties come in an extensive range of styles. They also come in a wide range of sizes from 0–6 months to 24 months. So if your little one falls in love with their booties, you can purchase more as they grow.

However, not every novelty style is comparably cute. For example, the “pink star unicorn” booties include a padded 3D golden horn and ears, pink netting, and embroidered features. But the dog booties are made with only a sad embroidered face.

All things considered, these are quality baby booties that wash well and can last through multiple children’s wear and tear.

While some little ones enjoy the feel of warm sand between their toes, others withdraw their tootsies in horror at the sensation. If your child falls into the second group, baby booties for the beach might do the trick.

These Mickey Mouse booties are more likely to stay on than socks and cooler than most standard baby booties. They’re also suitable for paddling pools, swimming pools, and any other wet spots where you want to protect your baby’s feet.

Sometimes you find an item you love, but your kids grow out of it quickly. Luvable Friends booties come in ten sizes, all the way up to 4T, so you can keep your baby’s feet warm in style for years to come.

The sturdy hook and loop closures are firm, preventing your wiggly little one from getting their booties off too quickly. This was a big plus for us because our feisty crawlers often break free from their footwear.

Burt’s Bees organic cotton booties have a firm elasticized back panel and a wrap-around snap closure in the front.

The Burt’s Bees logo is on the tiny enamel stud fastener button, which is an adorable detail, and the wide ankle opening makes them easy to pull over your baby’s feet.

There are two adjustment points for the stud closure so you can put them on with nothing underneath or over the top of some thick tights or leggings. Meanwhile, the elasticated ankle stops all but the most determined little one pulling these booties off their feet.

For those times you may want a special bootie, perhaps for a family event, a naming ceremony, or even just the trip home from the hospital, these are the booties you are looking for.

Each pair is hand crocheted using 100% organic cotton yarn, so the finish and detail are second to none. The booties are finished with a satin ribbon that can be pulled and tied to ensure a snug fit.

On the downside, the ribbon isn’t strong enough to keep these on for long if you have an active baby, and the pure white color is difficult to keep clean. Having said that, these are made for special occasions, so things that are a problem in day-to-day use may not be an issue.

Sheepskin has long been used to make clothes and footwear. These super cute sheepskin booties are made by a family-run business founded in 1946 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. That experience shows in the quality of these moccasin-style baby booties.

Exceptionally warm in winter, these booties run big, with plenty of room for thick, wooly socks or a thick sleeper. However, it’s essential to measure your baby’s feet and refer to the Minnetonka sizing chart because of the larger sizing.

The soft, padded, memory foam insole of the Acorn baby booties sits on light EVA and a suede sole. The sidewall and toecap are also made from suede, giving these booties more structure than your average baby booties.

On the outside of the sole, there are grippy lines that give extra traction on slippery floors, which is great when your child is a confident walker, speeding around the home.
