when do you need to get shoes?

[arolf]

is it when they crawl/stand/cruise or walk? obviously shoe shops recommend the earlier the better, but I am not convinced so far!

thanks

When they can walk properly for a good distance The crawler shoes and cruising shoes are a load of money making poo.

I must say though that a pair of those soft leather pram shoes is useful if you have a child who spends ages cruising and walking holding hands so wants to be down inthe park all the time but refuses to walk alone! I'd never buy any new though, mine were hand me downs

Hi

There is a good form on this website www.healthylittlefeet.com. You answer questions and it tells you if baby is ready for a shoe fitting or not.

Hope it helps
