Sandals and babies....

Do you put sandals on non-moving children?

DS is 15 weeks and has been given fabric sandals - I don't see the point, he has little feet that don't need to be kept warm (I understand booties/socks in cold weather).

Psycho says that all of her tiddlypeeps had similar things because they went with the outfit...

Now intrigued about everyone else!!!! Grin

i dont put shoes/sandals on children unless absolutely necessary

we all run about barefoot as much as possible, even outside

no shoes on non walkers
at most those little soft leather types like bobux.

The best thing about summer and babies is that they can go barefoot. No shoes, no socks, no running back down the road for that one that got thrown out of the pram - just those gorgeous little feet.

Lovely little chubby baby toes wriggling in the breeze :)

I have sandals for colder days when she would just have socks on ie the sandals keep the socks on. But only put any kind of shoes on her if it's absolutely necessary.

MerlinsBeard · 15/06/2006 15:55

we had shoes for colder weather where socks weren't enough (ie middle of winter). actually, thinking of it ,ine both had shoes but soft leather ones unless the weather was like this where there was no need. DAren't let them run barefoot in the garden...!!!

MerlinsBeard · 15/06/2006 15:56

sorry, that didn't make sense but u get the jist

saadia · 15/06/2006 16:05

I didn't get shoes or sandals for either of the dss until they were confident at walking, didn't see the need.

Once in Waitrose ds2 was lying in his pram with his little feet poking over the edge and a woman said she really wanted to tickle them. I was tempted to say "go ahead" but it seemed like a violation of ds's rights.

Same here as everyone else!

Don't put anything on ds2's feet (10 months) at the moment, he seems to be quite happy in bare feet and a fine layer of dirt from crawling everywhere Grin
