armymom`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll What other brand of shoes are good for beginner walkers. The only brand I can think of is ROBEEZ but I`ve heard some others.. I just can`t think of the names right now. My son is 10 months old and has never worn shoes because his feet are fat.. but now I really need to get him in shoes because he`s trying to walk around outside and scraping the bottom of his feet on concrete. Thanks!

We found Shoo Shoes and they are great for learning to walk. THey come in soft soles like Robeez and also rubber soles. My son has wide feet too and they fit great! they are flexible and easy to put on/off. THey are also cheaper than most Robeez or Pedipeds.

i would go with the robeez because they only really need to protect from the weather and concrete. Stride Rite or Ollie`s shoes for kids have good shoes that are good for beginners. Make sure the soles are really really flexible and do not restrict the feet from movement at all.

my son has wide feet too, lol, big wide feet. maybe he`ll be a swimmer when he grows up, with those paddles. but anyways, he wears the converse high tops. they`re kind of hard to put on till you get the hang of it. but they seem to fit his feet well. and he can walk in them, and because they`re tie up shoes, they dont seem to fall off as easily, every other shoe i`ve tried to put on his feet fall right off. pain in the butt. however, he only wears shoes when we`re going out AND i think he might want to walk around. which is unusual. we try to just keep in him in socks.

they recommend no shoes now days which I find odd B/c everyone I heard of generations prior almost all walked round 11 months! with shoes! now days kids dont walk til later on...I say put shoes on him. Olivia just started wearing shoes

None :) Walking is best learned with bare feet or non slip socks ~ my oldest has major feet issues and had orthodics and my youngest is mild autistic and struggled with walking alot and docs have all said tots shouldnt wear shoes til they are already walking. Hunter did have any shoes will he was walking for over a month. He wore slippers alot when cold.

`Stride Rite` are great shoes for beginners and up!

  1. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  2. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  3. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  4. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  5. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  6. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  7. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  8. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  9. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  10. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
