Can't get shoes on her! Help.

happy&healthy · Dec 27th, 2009, 18:37 PM

I don't know what to do. My girl is 10 1/2 months and is now walking everywhere. The only problem is that I cannot get shoes on her. She curls up her toes and makes it impossible to get them on her properly. Any advice. Thanks!

Try some soft soled, they go on alot like socks, probably make it easier...ones like Robeez and Shoes Zoo are great

Try preschoolian shoes. (Just google preschoolians. Sorry, I have less than 10 posts so I'm not allowed to post links yet)

Excellent shoes, soft soled, and hard soled. You can wear it outdoors and indoors and it can be folded in half - it's that soft. And very reasonable, I think about $40.00.

My daughter and myself - we loved her preschoolian shoes!

Take a look at their site - it's very informative.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the suggestions. The shoes she has now or like medium soft. They are very flexible (but not as flexible as soft soled. If the finger thing doesn't work, I guess I'll try different shoes. But can't believe how much they charge for such small things.

Shoes Zoo are very reasonably priced, only about $15 or less! They are great quality too, I have had Robeez and Bobux and actually prefer these www.shoeszoo.com

Well, that is definitely more in my price range! Thanks.

Is she actually walking outside? I didn't bother with shoes until Kaya was walking outside and then I made the shoes a condition of walking outside - no shoes = no walking outside (including shops etc).

She doesn't walk outside because I can't get the shoes on her. But she wants to!
