She's probably freaking out that she can't feel her soles anymore.
For all crawling through early walking stages, the Grinches recommend Robeez. They're real leather, machine washable, adaptable to both crawling and walking, and extremely durable. They're soft-soled, which helps kids learn to balance. Plus, they're Canadian!

She has 5 pairs of Robeez. I love them.
But she's really walking, not just tottering around, and conventional wisdom says now is the time for shoes.
I think she'll still be mostly barefoot.
