Confused about my baby shoes

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I went today to buy my baby her first pair of shoes. She is 11 months.

her RCF is 1 1/2 size and the normal left foot is 2. I went to stride

rite. i found out sandals and shoes. So i am really confused what

should i get her. Sandals or shoes. Also I need to know do they have

to be from stride rite or can i get any other kind or there are

specific characteristics for thier shoes. Does anyone had experience

with that. i am scared to buy her wrong shoes/sandals that may affect her.

thanks

Myself, I don't think clubfoot has a lot to do with shoes, typically. Use more

common sense, that's all. Fancy little dress up shoes are built to be cute,

not functional, so limit their wear to a couple hours of church or a party,

etc., where she won't do a lot of walking/running. Otherwise, just a good comfy

fitting pair of *everyday* shoes, or sandals. Lean more towards comfort than

fashion. And as with any child with any new pair of shoes, don't turn them

loose for an entire day in a new pair of shoes - the materials need time to

break-in. Any new pair of shoes is liable to shred a person's foot their first

day out in them if you over-wear them that first day. I just buy for comfort

and fit on my kids, at Wal-mart.

I use soft sole shoes like robeez and shooshoos so I'm not much help. I guess I

always think that barefoot is best at this point so soft sole shoes are as close

as I can get.

everyone else,

Check out the brand See Kai Run when your little one needs more than the Robeez.

They have super flexible soles, are very lightweight and super cute. Jonah

wears the KaiKai style and asks for them by name.

Check out www.preschoolians.com. Even if you don't buy their shoes, they

have a bunch of great information on their website on why barefoot is

best, but when it is not practical, a very thin soft sole is best for

beginner walkers. I am buying their shoes as soon as I get their

measuring tool in the mail.
