Tips on getting lo to wear shoes

I made sure that I got barefoot friendly shoes so they didn’t restrict movement in my little ones feet. He loves putting his shoes on!

The sock shoes worked well with my LO, he started on them and then progressed to clarks shoes

@Amber what make barefoot shoes did you get? I tried her in the pure step barefoot ones but she wasn't keen.

I asked this question a month ago and one mum recommended put the shoes on for 5-10 mins to get lo use to them gradually we started to walk him in the shoes and now his very confident walker

@Pam thanks for the tip hoping if she associates with going outside she may be more keen

maybe start with 5 mins just wearing them in pram she might cry but they eventually get use to it and becoming confident

Tikki and now he has young soles

Mine was like this. We got a sock shoe with a v long sock and they stayed on better. From jojo maman bebe. I took him to playground every day he could see the kidd playing and I said you can't run and play here unless you wear the shoes. So he did. For months he wore socks up until the moment he was in the pram and then we distracted with something so he didn't see the shoes going on (already seated in pram) then he was ready to go once we arrived at the playground or wherever we were going

After about 4/5 months of walking he now isn't so fussy about shoes and will bring us our shoes and his shoes as a way of asking to go outside! I do still give him barefoot ones though because I believe they are healthier, he trips less and I'm such a convert that I got some for myself and my backpain pretty much disappeared.
