Where can i get classic silver t bar shoes for my baby daughter?
I might be crazy but try Clarks. I used to work there and they sometimes had little sparkly Tbars for little ones. John Lewis, Gordon Scott, start-rite and Ravel are all brands/places you could try. Maybe have a search on the internet for their current catalogues rather than trekking out with the tot!

Hiya,


Can you tell me of any high street shops that stock Converse infant shoes (UK size 2). I know Schuh and Office stock them but is there anyone else.


UK stores, thanks

Babies don%26#039;t need shoes until they can walk. They are not good for their feet because their bones are soft.

When do you start putting shoes on your baby's feet?

I am a firm believer in the bare foot baby. with my oldest she wore socks and booties until she showed signs she was ready to start walking and then i bought her a pair of stride rite(sp?) shoes, what are your opinions on this?

When do you start putting shoes on your baby%26#039;s feet?
I%26#039;ve HEARD that it is better for a baby%26#039;s arch development if they are allowed to go barefoot/booties/socks because the infant shoes generally have a flat sole (where as the walking shoes have an arch support)





We used booties on our oldest until he was 11 months and started walking. The first pair of shoes I bought him were a size 5!! lol Then we only put shoes on him if he was going to be walking outside where it was wet and cold. Now he knows when we put his shoes on him he is going %26quot;bye-bye%26quot; and he races over and stands by the front door! lol :)
Reply:My baby always wore shoes. They coordinated so nicely with his outfits and he was the first grandchild to upper crust grandparents so I never worried about costs. I never used stride rites. Our son never crawled and was walking early - I did purchase nice tennis shoes - but his little boots with the lights on them were his favorite.
Reply:I agree. I got a few pairs of shoes as gifts for my son, but I really haven%26#039;t used them. It%26#039;s hard to get them on, and the ones that go on, fall off anyways. They don%26#039;t really serve a purpose.
Reply:i agree, u put the shoe on after they have learned to walk. when my son was learning to walk, i let him go with just socks on.





my sister had 6 kids and refused to put shoes on them when they were babies, even if someone bought them for her, she still would not put them on. this was 15 years ago and her statement shaped how i think of it.





its such a waste of $$, i would rather buy myself $35 shoes, than spend that on a sneaker for a newborn.





i was given several sneakers for my son that i never put on him. today those sneakers are decorations in his room.
Reply:My oldest is almost 6 years old old and still only wears shoes when we go somewhere. I have 4 kids and did not put shoes on their feet until about 6 months of age and even then it was only if we went somewhere and it was cold out. When they start trying to walk I let them go barefoot as much as possibly, books will tell you this is best for the baby, either way I did it because then they only had to worry about tripping over their feet instead of tripping over their feet in a pair of unfamiliar shoes.
Reply:you use your judgement because everyone is different. like me the day my infant came home from the hospital she wore little sneaks for newborns. so there%26#039;s really no right or wrong time. it%26#039;s up to the parent.
Reply:I believe bare foot is best, when they start walkign either bare foot, or really good walking shoes is best. My son is only 6 months old, i only put shoes on him when we go out somewhere, a special occasion or to the mall other then that i let his feet be free so he can grab his socks off!
Reply:i believe in bare foot babies too. when it was cold i just put the soft booties on my child and just bought her stride rite walkers for when she goes outside. (she is 12 months and almost walking)
Reply:With my first he was born in July so he had some sandals...but never really wore shoes regularly until he was getting ready to walk. Then with my second he was born in April...and we never started putting shoes on him until he was starting to walk around holding things.
Reply:my oldest worn shoes since the day i had him but they was crib shoes n my second child really hasnt worn shoes like his brother...but its all up to u...
Reply:A childs developing foot needs to grow unincumbered. Much research has been done that advises parents to leave thier childs feet bare unless absolutly necessary for protection from the cold. Visit the following site and thier associated links to see the facts.
Reply:Unless they are walking why do they need shoes. I would say you got they right idea I did the same with my oldest 3 and plan to do they same with my 3month old.
Reply:u suppost put shoes on your babi feet when you first have them
Reply:you should always wait to put shoes on babies, when they are ready to walk then you can put shoes on them..
Reply:Babies should not have hard bottomed shoes on their feet until they are walking well. When they are learning to walk, it is important for them to be able to feel the ground under them and the texture (carpet is squishy, concrete is solid, etc.).


It helps them to learn how to compensate for the ground they are on.





Plus, the fewer restrictions they have on their feet the better, because they need to curl those toes and flex those muscles to make them strong and ready for walking!
Reply:I think its up to you. Everyone%26#039;s different with different views. Shoes on newborns are cute but they serve no purpose unless its cold outside. That%26#039;s pretty much when my babies wore shoes. My youngest is turning one tomorrow and he wears shoes because he%26#039;s walking now. It%26#039;s your call. Good luck.

Any reviews on shoes for my baby?

He is learning to walk but won%26#039;t keep his shoes on. Any good ones that you have tried and the baby is comfortable too.


Also it shouldn%26#039;t be way too expensive since babies outgrow so fast.


Thanks

Any reviews on shoes for my baby?
as close to bare feet as possible.





when some protection is needed, outside and such... leather booties are best.





my favorite brand is Robeez... but they%26#039;re about $25 each... but these are half priced: http://stores.ebay.com/Shoes-Zoo





and many stores like Target are carrying some that are about half the Robeez cost too.





my daughter wore just socks w/ the little rubber designs on the soles to avoid slipping and when we went out she had some of the leather booties.
Reply:I love pediped shoes they are much cuter and just as great and effective and safe as robeez!
Reply:Anything that is soft and bendable is good. Slippers that fit well are fine too.
Reply:When babies are learning to walk it is actually better to not have them wear shoes. I only put the soft cushy sort of shoe things on my son when we were going places so he didn%26#039;t get cold. I think you are suppose to wait until the baby gets an arch in their feet before you start considering shoes. Or until he is walking very well.
Reply:Velcro closures are a must. And thinner, more flexible shoes are more comfortable to toddlers when they%26#039;re not used to walking around in any kind of shoe. Stride-Rite is a good place to find those first walking shoes. They are expensive (around $50) but they give much more than the less expensive shoes, and help toddlers achieve better balance, more natural foot motion, etc., which is great when they are just learning.





When he gets the hang of walking around, you can get him much cheaper shoes on sale at the Children%26#039;s Place. (Don%26#039;t buy into the hype that you have to keep buying those expensive shoes, unless he has a problem with his feet where they don%26#039;t fit right into cheaper ones.)
Reply:Let him go barefoot indoors.





For outside, Robeez are great.


http://www.robeez.com
Reply:I agree, Robeez are great shoes. My daughter got a pair as a gift when she was born and they were great then. They are the only shoes that stayed on her feet. So I keep buying them for her.





She started walking independently at 9 months old. I asked her pediatrician about shoes and walking last week as I have heard a few conflicting things. He said that she should walk around the house in bare feet preferably. If I want I can put her in soft-sole shoes like Robeez for about an hour a day to practice in them. Shoes aren%26#039;t necessary when they are small and not walking outdoors.
Reply:I totally love my Robeez shoes. They are expensive, but they come in size ranges so they fit for a long time (months). They are about $25, but you can buy them used on eBay for less. They are worth it. I am a stay-at-home mom and we live on my husband%26#039;s income only, but Robeez are one thing I will spend the money on. They last forever; I have pairs that were handed down to me, worn by my two girls, and still have lots of life in them for more kids. Babies cannot pull them off, they%26#039;re soft so they support the natural development of the foot and, my favorite, they can be thrown in the washing machine and dryer.





You can put Robeez on a baby when they%26#039;re a little floppy in the toe and they can wear them all the way until they%26#039;re too snug, so they last far longer than hard-soled or other kinds of shoes.





Other people like Bobux, which are also like Robeez. I have tried cheap brands, such as Cute Baby Shoes or the ones at Target, but they fall apart right away so were not worth it.

What shoes should a 1 year old baby just learning to walk should wear, hard bottom or some Jordan, or nike?

Does a hard bottom shoe help the baby%26#039;s foot more than a shoe like a air force 1, or she jordans, and any other type shoes

What shoes should a 1 year old baby just learning to walk should wear, hard bottom or some Jordan, or nike?
barefoot is best of all, the baby can flex the foot naturally. If shoes must be worn, go for soft-sole flexible shoes. Hard soled shoes don%26#039;t allow natural movement, have slippery bottoms, and don%26#039;t allow the arch to develop properly.
Reply:my daughter learned to walk in the Robeez style shoes- leather shoes with soft suede bottom. There are plenty of knock offs out there which are still good quality. This is the next best thing to barefoot but keeps the foot warm and clean and also makes it nearly impossible for them to get their socks off! Also good for wood floor since they are non-skid.





Only drawback- can be cold if you let your child try to walk outdoors this time of year. Best for inside or any season except winter.





Now that she is used to walking she wears any kind of shoe, but I try to get the lightest weight possible. She has done well with Merrill shoes for babies and also a European brand called Naturino, which are expensive but luckily we received some as a gift.
Reply:they shouldnt have shoes until they need them to walk outside
Reply:actually indoors barefoot is good. (or socks) out doors you might want to have the child walk in several different shoes at the store (like you would) and see which ones the child walks in best.





the barefoot part helps develop the arch. Your arch is ticklish for a reason..
Reply:golf shoes....that way he can take care of you in your old age....like Tiger !
Reply:when my children were little my pediatrician said barefoot was best.


After barefoot in the home he recommended sneakers, any brand, even cheap ones, rather than the hard sole baby shoes sold in the shoe stores. He said that the hard sole shoe was not good for their feet when learning to walk.
Reply:The best shoes are NO SHOES AT ALL!! When you are home keep her barefoot. When you are out a soft flexable shoe is best. there is no need for brand names such as jordan or nike. Try Stride Rite they have great shoes for begining walkers, or you can get they same type from Payless.
Reply:Bare feet are optimal for learning to walk.





If necessary use soft soled shoes.





Hard soled shoes are only for situation in which soft soles shoes would be dangerous. Many cultures wear soft shoes or no shoes most of the time and have almost no problems with their feet.





%26quot;First of all, shoes are not required for the infant, except for a way of providing warmth for the feet. The toddler also does not require shoes except to protect the feet outside. Some have argued that shoes may actually hamper a toddler%26#039;s ability to coordinate her walk, however, this has certainly never been proven. It just emphasizes that expensive toddler shoes are most often no better for development than less expensive ones. When buying shoes for the toddler, make sure they are not too heavy or have sticky soles that may cause falls. %26quot;

%26quot;Baby’s feet are built for walking. Remember that the foot is a strong and complex part of the body, built to carry our body’s weight, grip surfaces and balance the rest of our body perfectly. Feet which have had a chance to engage in normal baby movements like crawling, kicking, pushing, flexing, are plenty strong enough to support a newly walking baby. The idea that a normally-developing baby requires shoes for support is not based on a baby’s physical needs.


Shoes can provide certain kinds of protection. Baby’s feet are, however, sensitive. They don’t have the calluses that adult feet have developed over the years. They are sensitive to heat and other potentially sharp or painful surfaces. If your baby is going to be walking outside in the sun or on rough terrain, shoes provide the necessary protection.





Shoes should be flexible. A flexible shoe allows your baby to use the movement of her feet to keep her balance and help her walk. Flexible shoes are also more comfortable than stiff or rigid shoes. Shoes should also have non-slip soles. It is essential for your baby’s safety that she isn’t slipping and sliding around in her shoes. However, super sticky soles sometimes make children fall down at first, because they are not used to the way the sole sticks to the floor. %26quot;

Reply:I am an orthopedic specialist, and I would definitely recommend a hard-bottom shoe. Not necessarily the old-fashioned ones with zero flexibility, but something that is stiff enough to support her developing arch.


While she%26#039;s learning, bare feet are best. If she must wear shoes try Stride-Rites, which have a great 3-stage progression system. They are a little pricey (around $40.00 a pair), but it%26#039;s better to spend now during this crucial time of initial weight bearing and developing. Also, make sure to take her to a store where they will do a proper fitting (she should be standing, with equal weight on each foot, and be sure to measure both feet, as sometimes they are different!) Once she has been toddling around and supporting her own wight for about 6-9 months, you can pretty much put her in anything--besides heels, of course!! Good luck!!
