First pair of shoes for your LO

bullies2005

When did you buy your LO a pair of shoes. My LO will turn 10 months next week and he only wears socks. He doesn't walk yet, should I get him shoes now or wait until he is walking? TIA

DD didnt wear shoes until she was walking, and even then it was just the soft-soled shoes (like robeez).  we didnt buy her her first pair of actual sneakers with rubber soles until she was really moving and needed the traction!

I put Robeez on DD #2 as an extra layer on her feet and to help keep her socks on since we have cold winters here. With DD #1, we were living in Houston and I didn't start putting shoes on her until she started cruising (and wanted to do it outside, etc). She wore Robeez and Pedipeds. I like the look of Pedipeds better but both are great shoes.

Neither of my kids wore shoes until they were walking/cruising.

The only exception, I think was Easter or Christmas. I wanted their outfits to be "complete" so I bought cheapie shoes they could wear for pictures.

I always wanted to keep unneccessary expenses down so that I had a bigger budget for diapers/wipes/formula/new clothes.

Maddie is just now taking her first steps so we got her fitted for shoes over the weekend.  She is 14 months.  I didn't see the point in shoes until she was on the ground more.

I'm the opposite i hate to see them out in public without shoes, at home he did not wear them of course...but it's all the choice of the mommy

I'm with you.  I have foot issues and am creeped out by bare feet even on kiddos.  C had shoes from day 1.

Maybe because I keep hearing my mother in my head yelling at us for even thinking about walking out the door without shoes on our feet.

Viv never wore shoes until she was actually taking some steps. 

 

I bought her pedipeds and See Kai Run soft soled shoes. She has wide feet and Robeez just didn't fit!

I had both girls either wear socks or robeez when they were non walkers.  And then when they started someone standing/pre-walking (around 11 months), I started buying pedipeds for them.

She's been wearing shoes since she was born, they are all from Janie & Jack so far.  She also has a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor's but they don't fit her yet.

I bought him Robeez until he actually started walking, then his first "real" shoes were Chucks.
