Stride Rite Shoes ?
Neena isn't walking yet (14 months) and a few people have suggested getting some stride rite shoes for her so that she feels more supported and balanced, which, in turn might give her the confidence to walk.
She has been cruising since 9 months old, walkling behind pushers (push toy, laundry basket, chairs,etc...) since 10 months, walking holding our hands since 12 months, but just not unassisted yet. I know there is no need to worry considering she is doing all of the above, so is it worth it to spend $40 on a pair of shoes? Will she get good use out of them? Are there shoes that are similar but cheaper?
I feel silly even fretting over this, but it's hard not to think about when people are constantly asking me if she is walking yet.
