FIRST SHOES

[jessicaandrebeccasmummy]

HELP!

Rebecca has now decided she is pretty much walking.

We have never had her feet measured, unlike Jessi who had crawlers/cruisers/first shoes.

Do I NEED to go out and buy her shoes before christmas?! We really CANT afford it, so really dont want to, will it matter?!

Well when I trained as a shoe-fitter (late eighties) the advice was to avoid shoes until they had been walking for 6 weeks, and even then they should ony have them if walking out of doors.

wil lshe be walking outside?

my dd is at same stage and buying her first pair of cruisers has made her go dbl fast!!

She seems so much more steady on her feet with them.

Look on eBay... you can get new clarks for great prices. I got a pair the other day for £4 brand new!!!!

she wont be walking outside - no way! Too much like hard work with a toddler, i intend on keeping her in the buggy as long as possible!!

will hold off for a while x

IIWY I would hold off until she is practically insisting that she walks everywhere outside! She will get plenty of practice/exercise walking inside until then.
