Should my 11 month old be wearing shoes?

Question

she is standing but not walking yet but her feet are too small for standard shoes. what should i do?

Answer 1

Baby shoes, you can find them at target stores, wallmart, baby gap, oshkosh, baby place, babies r us.  

Answer 2

if she is not walking yet she will be fine in soft soled baby shoes and would do her arm to go into hard shoes

Answer 3

Wait until she is walking to put shoes on her.  It is best for a baby to learn how to walk while they are barefoot.  Once you do start using shoes, stick to a soft shoe until she is walking well  :)

Answer 4

you should give her baby shoes incase she gets cold but if its warm maybe some thin socks

Answer 5

You can buy really cute shoes called Robeez with a leather or rubber sole on them. They are great my son has quite a few pairs and they are recommended by Dr.  

Answer 6

i think she should have been wearing shoes a long time ago(ill probably get all kinds of thumbs down). they make baby shoes and even if her feet are small they make her size, they start at 0. and they say its best to learn barefoot, but they need to learn to walk in shoes too, which is harder so the sooner u start that the more used to it shell be.

Answer 7

NO - not yet.  Indoors, she should be barefoot whenever possible. This will help with balance and development of her feet. Don't put her in shoes until she needs them because she is walking outdoors.Then, she will need soft shoes with bendable soles; take her to have her feet measured and get her properly fitted with suitable shoes once she is fully walking. More children's feet are ruined by wearing wrong-fitting or too-small shoes than by not wearing them.  

Answer 8

The doctors say that when a child is learning to walk they should be bare foot most of the time. I don't know where you live but Wal-Mart has some special shoes that they sell that are smaller than normal. Good luck.

Answer 9

You can get pre-walkers, they have some cute ones, they are light weight and have a soft sole, thats all she really need if she's not running around just yet.

Answer 10

unless she can walk she should not wear shoes clarks do a range of crawler shoes that should fit

Answer 11

I would not worry about it.....it is hot right now anyway.

Answer 12

don't worry about shoes yet when she does start walking go to Clark's shoe shop they will measure her feet  

Answer 13

Just soft shoes that don't restrict her feet too much .

Answer 14

You could make/buy cute little booties or socks for her until her feet get bigger.

Answer 15

You can buy little booties that look like a hybrid of socks and shoes.

Answer 16

baby shoes  

Answer 17

Well if she is just standing and can't walk there's not much of a way for her sock to get dirty. She can wear little booties if you want...

Answer 18

Our 14 month old daughter only wears shoes when she is outside, and we have only got her some early walking shoes since she started walking. Bare feet is the optimum way to aid a childs early walking, as they can feel their way, and grip the floor better. I wouldnt worry about it just yet.  

Answer 19

If she is not walking there is no need for shoes.  The bones in a baby's feet are very soft & putting them in shoes too early can damage them.  Once she is walking you should go to a good shoe shop, get her feet measured & get her shoes fitted properly.
