Baby shoes

Following as we’re in the same position. He just has a meltdown until I take them off!

My daughters not quite ready for her first pair of walking shoes just yet. With my eldest she loved walking & I'd tell her that she needed to wear her shoes if she wanted to walk outside. It worked a treat!

Can I please ask where did you measure and bought her shoes from?

@Bianca we went to Clark’s, they were really understanding about it and didn’t make a big thing about her screaming in the store!

My daughter was like this, mainly because she wanted to play with them. We just let her do that and just tried putting them on every so often for as long as she’d tolerate it, showing her how they went on and came off until one night she tried putting them on herself 😂 now she’s obsessed with her shoes, she loves undoing the Velcro straps on them and examining any new ones she has. It does get better though, think it took us maybe a month? Honestly can’t remember

Even the Clark’s walkers are quite tough on their feet when they’re not used to shoes. I got our daughter a pair of little boots from Asda in the baby section, they’re super soft but have a plastic / grip sole so she can toddle around the playground for example without getting wet cold feet but won’t wear hard shoes 😂 (which is a shame because I’m a shoe fiend and she’s my first daughter so she’s got a range of gorgeous footwear and all she’ll do is chew it 🥴)

No screaming but my LO just took his shoes off the first 4 weeks of walking. We tried so many pairs wasted so much money. He was able to take anything off no matter the fastening. After 4 weeks he was able to keep barefoot sock shoes on so sticking to that for a now. It may be a case of going to playground every day and explaining if you don't wear shoes you don't get to run around and eventually they understand its required or the refusal passes! We also distract him while putting it on. Tbh I did let him go in the playground with 2 pairs of particularly thick non slip socks but he started walking in September so it was a lot warmer and drier etc. I always still tried with the shoes and I think he realised its nicer to have shoes on outside, or that going on some of the equipment is more fun than taking shoes off
