Just got Henry some 'cruisers'! For between crawling and walking, when they just walk around the furniture. I got him them as we take him to the park on Sundays and he looks silly with no shoes on as he looks so old now!! People always seem surprised when I tell them he's just months - most people think he's well over a year - they probably just think he's a lazy sod only crawling everywhere!! Plus he likes to 'walk' from slide to swings etc so it's nice for him.
I did take them back to be checked as they looked like they were marking him but it's just because his feet are 'puddingy' and the tongue was pusing the top of his foot. It has stopped marking him now, think it's as it is his first pair of shoes. He only wears them outside though so as long as they keep him warm!!
They were ??20 though which is more than mine cost but I personally think it's really important to make sure their shoes fit properly while they are young.
I also have some of those ugg boot things for when he's just in his buggy and not walking - cute!!!
I want to take Maddy outside for a 'walk' in her new harness... We have mastered it round the house now.
Mum is also pooing her pants cos Maddy keeps letting go of the furniture etc and standing up on her own for a few seconds!!! Lol
Other than that at the moment he has some I got from Tesco for ??3.50 in the sale that have grips on the bottom but are very lightweight. I put them on if it is a bit colder outside so his feet are nice and warm.
I have also found tights are loads better than socks at the moment as socks hardly stay on him for 5 minutes lol! He either pulls them off or is moving around so much they come off!
I am taking him to Clarks at Christmas when we come back to the UK and my Mum has asked if she can buy him his first pair of 'proper' shoes for Christmas which is really nice of her. Mind at the rate he is going he will be walking before then! Like Maddy he is letting go of the furniture loads and standing on his own! When my MIL comes out in a few weeks I know all I am going to hear from her is 'oh mind he doesn't fall!!!!!!!'.
I've thought about getting her some shoes but thinking about when I got the boys theirs, they were just walking so I got the walking first shoes from a bloody expensive shop (about ??35-40 a pair!) but my mum paid! I also think it's important to look after their feet but usually shop at Clarks and find they mainly last well.
I can't wait to get them...I look at all the girly shoes and they're so exciting! You can tell I'm still digging the pink thing!
Katie, I'd get some cruisers from ebay though, sounds good!
Managed to get her to keep them on long enough for a photo and that was it!!
Personally I think these 'crawlers' and 'cruisers' are gimicky and a waste of money as they just dont need them. I did put soft 'boots' and shoes on them when we were out and about in the buggy, but purely to keep their feet warm. x
he too lets go and stands for while then so sweet causde rather than wobberling or falling down he lowers himself to the floor....
