Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Im still trying to fine tune putting on the mitchell fab the best possible way. Ive read people suggesting to buckle them as tightly as possible, but the other day one of the shoe buckles left a very deep indentation on Sophie's foot. It looked painful, so since then Ive been reluctant to buckle them super tight. She wiggles out of them once in a while but for the most part they stay on pretty well. Any advice? Zoe p.s. what does p/m stand for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I've been going through a similar thing with my 5 month old daughter. She was slipping out of her shoes every night, so I started buckling her shoes from the 7th hold to the 8th hole. She fussed like she was in pain, so I loosened it to the 7th again. They kept coming off. This went on for about a week. However, the strap seems to have stretched now just enough that the 8th hole is not too tight anymore and the shoes stay on. She has some marks on the top of her foot, but no breakdown of the skin. It doesn't seem tender either and she's no longer fussing about the shoes. From my experience, I'd advise to make sure the heel is all the way down, then strap them on tightly and lace them tightly. The straps will stretch quickly. Also, try a different sock - everyone seems to like the old navy and gap socks. I like those the best too. > > > Im still trying to fine tune putting on the mitchell > > fab the best > > possible way.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hi, If it is any help, when Jasper was small I found that tightening the buckle to a comfortable position (did not dig in) and then doing up the laces firmly helped when I changed the laces around so that they started at the ankles and tied up at the toes made the lacing MUCH firmer at the top where he would want to wriggle out, I would find that relying on the laces was good as you can hold the shoe around the little foot and lace it up snugly. Also check whether there is any plastizoid or other ³pillow² of shaping in the back of the shoe to hold the heel in and down little babies seem to wriggle out easily without this (depending on the shoe model).
