Do your babies wear shoes?

Mine don't. I put shoes on them one time, when they were 2 weeks old and we were going out to the doctor. They were a big PIA and I never put shoes on them again. Am I the only one? When did they start wearing shoes? When they were walking?

 

i bought little sandles in the summer and they just kicked them off so im not doing anymore. <_<

 

Mine dont wear shoes, my mom buy's them and I dont know why...they dont go anywhere and there is no purpose!
I started putting shoes on my dd when she started walking.

 

I have Robeez for my 4 month olds, but they really won't wear them much till winter/ fall. Robeez were the only shoes I could get to stay on my firstborn's feet, and though they are expensive, they were the only shoes he had, and they're in good enough shape for his brothers to wear. until he started walking, they were only necessary to keep socks on his feet! I highly recommend Robeez if you need something to keep feet warm and when they're starting to walk. Check ebay- I got a couple gently used pairs for 1/2 price, and you can wash them. good luck!

 

Mine wore them once when they were 2 or 3 weeks old, so that the person who bought them could see we were using them, but that was pretty much it. They have some for when they are a bit bigger, but right now, there is absolutely no point. They don't stay on, they are hard to get on, and overall are pretty useless functionwise. If its cold they wear socks.

 

I'm the odd mom here. I always put shoes on my babies. Whenever we go out they have shoes on. I don't really have a problem with most shoes falling off of them and I love the way it completes their outfits. My little girl has probably 6 pairs of shoes. My boy has 3 pairs that fit him.

My older son always wore shoes as well.

 

I love baby shoes but couldn't justify the money when it's hot and they're just fine barefoot. I bought soft ones for this fall though, and I'll definitely need something warmer for this winter.

 

Not once. We just ordered some in anticipation of cold weather, though...and since they're starting to become mobile, I suppose it's about time.

 

I didn't put shoes on them on a regular basis until they went to daycare. I found some robeez 70% off at this store and thought that it might be a good idea for daycare.

I love them and since have bought them another set each. They are the only ones that stay on. There are some imitation ones out there. I tried some cheaper versons from Target, but they came off really easy.

Had the kids not gone to daycare I probably would not have put shoes on them only for pictures.

 

Mine have never worn shoes...but I guess they will soon...since it'll be cold and they'll need something on their toesies.

Same here!

 

I haven't even thought to put shoes on them. I figure it's a waste of time and money. They're not going to be walking anywhere or get their feet dirty. I barely put socks on them even - only when it's cold.

 

I hate shoes on babies--They are much CUTER with bare feet instead of shoes that are hot, sweaty , and uncomfortable!!!

Nope, no shoe-wearing babies here! I'll get Robeez for them once they start spending more time cruising and walking. We used Robeez with our older DS and loved them. Baby shoes are SO adorable, but they are so expensive and they never seem very comfortable for the babies. I always look at the baby shoes, though, when I'm out shopping!

 

My girls didn't wear shoes until they started walking. If they needed protection before that, it was socks.

Dax had some of the lightweight leather booties during the winter last year and I only put them on if we were leaving the house and it was cold. They went on over his socks. He didn't get any actual shoes until he was walking.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to buy shoes small enough for mine. It's going to be getting cold here soon. Plus, the physical therapist suggested I get shoes for Annelise. I bought some newborn sized ones and they were too small. All the other ones I can find are size 3 or up. I think they need a size 1. I guess I'll have to order some online, but I hate buying something like this without seeing them first.

 

Mine don't wear shoes..we aren't going anywhere and they aren't walking. My DS started wearing shoes when he started walking around. =)
