    Shoes!!!

    Hi all,

    I need some advice on shoes. DD has been working for nearly 2 weeks, before that from 11 months she was walking all around things and pushing her walker everywhere.

    I really want to get her measured for shoes today or tomorrow because its so much easier to take her outside in the heat. Yesterday she walked around the shops with her converse and loved it.

    I keep getting told to wait another couple of weeks but then my Mum said they neer waited for when we were young to get shoes and thinks its fine.

    Her feet are so flat so I have been told that flat feet are ready for shoes????

    Please help!!!

    Yep, My little missy E is in proper clark's sandals. I didn't have her measured though, I buy them on ebay. I make sure I get ones that are adjustable at the toe end as well as the ankle end.

    We got DD's feet measured and bought her some Clarkes about a month after she started walking. She also has always walked with flat feet. She had them for her first birthday.

    I think its fine to get them now. DD only wears hers when she is outside or we go out somewhere. She is barefoot or with socks most of the time.

    I think the recommendations are to get shoes when they start walking outside as bare feet is best for foot development. Then as long as you get comfortable shoes in the right size then you will be right.
