21 months and pulling out of the shoes all of a sudden

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I hope everyone and their children are doing well. I just wanted to ask a

quick question. All of a sudden, out of blue, Christian has been pulling

his clubfoot out of the shoes about 4-5 times a night for the past week or

so. It is probably just the age right?

Ah ha! That is kind of what I was thinking. His feet do appear longer and

thinner than before. I'll bet that is why my little Houdini is showing off

his new trick. It is no joy getting those shoes on and then when he pulls

it out as soon as I finish tying it....ugh! its enough to drive you crazy!

2 more years...that is what I keep telling myself...just 2 more years with

these shoes.

Thanks

Re: 21 months and pulling out of the shoes all

My thoughts exactly, that's the most common cause for them starting

to slip out of the shoes when they were fine previously. I have

another idea too - it could be growing feet (I know you're

thinking " if his feet are growing wouldn't that make the shoes

tighter? " , just bear with me here, lol) - if Christian's feet are

starting to grow and lose baby fat, i.e. slim down, could be the

shoes need to be tighter (also straps could be stretching), or he may

need a narrower shoe. Also, are the straps through the bottom slot

on both sides? You may try altering this configuration (putting in

top slot if they are already in the bottom, putting in top slot on

one side and bottom on the other, etc.) to see if it will help get

the strap any tighter.

Good luck!

,

you've probably thought of this already, but sometimes when they get

older, and start slipping out of the shoes, it's because they've

grown and the bar needs to be widened. if the feet are too close

together it becomes easier for the feet to get out. has it been

widened recently?

just a thought.. i'm sure you'll get some other suggestions ..

One other thing you might try is taking the tongues out. I know a

couple other moms do this and I think it helps get them on tighter.

Just keep thinking...two more years, two more years..., then soon it

will be just a year and a half, just a year and a half...and so on!

Keep us posted!

This is around the time started pulling his feet out too, but

it was because he learned to untie the knots and loosen the laces.

We tried several things, but the one that helped the most was

getting the pad put in the heel. He can still untie the laces, but

his foot doesn't slip out.

was doing this with his first pair when he was 6 months old. He would

smile the whole time to like he knew what he was doing. He would work for a

long time to get them off. We got him a bigger pair of shoes, so his toes

didn't hang over quite as much. He stopped doing it after that. He did try for

awhile, but then figured out we had outsmarted him. I don't know if this

will help you or not. However, when they are determined to do something, there

isn't much that can stop them. I am sure it will pass in time.
