Reusing shoes for 2nd child.

Reusing all shoes from my first born 😀 Saved so much money xx

I’ve saved all my July 21 babies shoes from when he was walking as they are basically brand new and our littlest will wear if they fit when he is walking

We reused the shoes we had from our eldest for our July 21 baby! The ones that fit anyway haha

Oh I absolutely plan to reuse them. He had several pairs in the early days of walking and grew out of them so fast, that they’re all barely worn and in great condition. If they fit, my second will absolutely use them. It’s harder with the pairs he’s been in most recently as he’s wearing them into the ground (feet seem to be slowing down in their growth?!) so I’m not as likely to keep any of those. But he’s still got some that are barely worn that I’ll hold on to just incase!

@Chloe that's what I'm thinking, his early shoes were worn for about 3 months but the shoes he's currently wearing he's had for 10 months so they're going to be a lot more worn/moulded to his feet.

I think it depends on the state of them. As people have said, early ones were barely worn, whereas later ones are much more worn and discoloured so may need to bin those ones. If they look ok, I'll reuse them!

I rescued the ones I could but had a girl first and boy second so there's a fair few I can't reuse 😂

I have an 8 year age gap so there was no reusing shoes But I buy shoes preloved off Vinted!! They’re in them such a short time haha

@Amy some of his shoes I have bought from Vinted, such a bargain!But you can clearly see which ones are pretty much new and which ones are well used so I'm picky😅

If you are concerned about the moulding to the feet, you can always buy new insoles?

I never even thought about saving them ? 🤔 Iv sold them on vinted if they are in a good condition

My kids have barefoot shoes so there isn’t that much to mould to their feet so they’re more reusable… buuuut one has narrow slim feet and the other wide and chunky so they really don’t share many shoes (plus girl then boy so the Mary Jane’s just aren’t used). Mostly they get new shoes, wellies are passed down and old shoes are chucked in a cupboard to be sold, used as spares or passed to a cousin or friends if they suit. My July baby will only wear one pair of shoes so it’s not a huge deal to buy him one pair new
