Quick answer
For first walkers, Bunny Shoes offer a more secure fit with hidden Velcro, while Cub Moccasins provide a snug, slip-on style ideal for pre-walkers. Choose based on your baby's mobility stage.
Why Sole Type Matters for First Walkers
Both Bunny Shoes and Cub Moccasins feature non-slip soles, which is essential for babies finding their footing. The key difference lies in how they stay on active little feet.
Cub Moccasins use a slip-on design with elasticated trims, making them easy to put on but potentially less secure for toddlers who pull at their shoes. Bunny Shoes include a hidden Velcro fastening that adjusts for a custom fit, reducing the chance of shoes coming off during play.
Material and Durability Trade-offs
Cub Moccasins have a soft fine knit top with imitation leather trims, offering flexibility and breathability for early walkers. Bunny Shoes use a soft imitation leather upper, which is more durable and easier to wipe clean.
If your baby is prone to spills or plays outdoors, the leather-like Bunny Shoes may hold up better. For indoor use or very light walking, the knit moccasins are lighter and more flexible.
Which shoe suits your baby?
- Cub Moccasins – Best for pre-walkers: Choose these if your baby is not yet walking independently. The slip-on style is quick to put on and the soft knit allows natural foot movement. They stay on well for pram use and light standing. Great for babies 0-12 months who are still crawling or cruising.
- Bunny Shoes – Best for active first walkers: Choose these if your baby is taking several steps or walking independently. The hidden Velcro keeps the shoe secure even when your child kicks or pulls. The imitation leather is easy to clean after outdoor use. Ideal for toddlers 9-18 months who are walking and exploring.
- Price and value: Cub Moccasins are priced at $3.39 (was $4.99), while Bunny Shoes cost $5.39 (was $8.99). Both include a blank gift card for personal notes, making them thoughtful gifts. If budget is a concern, Cub Moccasins offer good value for early stages. Bunny Shoes justify the higher price with added security and durability.
