My little one is really not a fan of wearing shoes. Does anyone have any tips on how I can get her to be happy with wearing them on her feet. She wasn’t a fan when we went for a fitting in Clarks when she was being measured, and now we’ve bought some shoes she really hates them and completely breaks down when they’re put on her, full on tearful cry?.. she’s okay with socks being put on but will always eventually pull them off. I’m not sure what to do? I want to take her on walks outdoors but she really hates shoes.
Andy advice will be really appreciated. X

Got gifted one of these anti slip sock shoes https://amzn.asia/d/cQJW0Yl they look great but we haven't tried it cos bub's not walking age yet. Not sure how old or what size your little one is but hopefully it's something you can try, that brand has it up until size 3

Get the size double checked as we got lg measured in clarks and they hurt her feet, got he rechecked and was a different size x

thank you I’ll do that! She’s proper walking around now, doesn’t even crawl and I’d love to take her out for a walk! thanks I’ll look into these too maybe to start off. She’s apparently a 3.5-4G because she was wriggling so I got her 4s to be sure

Just keep doing it. Practice in house, and do going any where and everywhere. I start doing young so it's never a thought. My 16 month old knows to go get his shoes out of closet to go outside or when we tell him going bye bye he knows he needs to grab them. If your kid loves outside, just make it second nature to not go out without them.
Possibly try sandals and other sorts. They take off you either put on or bring inside all 3 of mine learned pretty quickly.

Maybe let her pick some shoes she likes in a shop? That might help!

nip in Asda they have some soft crawler shoes they are cream & pink with Velcro straps. My lg doesn’t mind them at all 🤷🏼♀️ oh and she’s a wide fit too
