What shoes do I buy?

Screen shot 2013-03-15 at 8.03.50 AM

For me…. lets see….Just kidding.

I get this question so much. I actually received a text about this as I was pulling up to post a response. I will let the cat out of the bag: YOU DON’T NEED SPECIAL SHOES to help your child walk. Now, if you have some specific areas that need attention, this may not be the case. For the average child, no special shoes are needed. Please don’t spend a lot of time or money searching out the perfect pair. Here are some tips:

DO:

–Get your child’s foot sized and keep up with his/her growth by getting new shoes when needed

–Wear shoes outside to protect feet. Barefoot is okay inside, but just remember that there are numerous things from insects (bees) to glass, etc that you may encounter outside.

–High tops do add support. You don’t have to get these, but even little girls look cute in boots!

–Make a trip to a local inexpensive shoe store!

–Do let your child go barefoot inside the house. This is important for sensory feedback as well as strengthening the foot muscles.

DON’T

–Spend money on expensive “supportive” shoes at these young ages. Toddlers’ feet are not supposed to have this unless they have a known problem.

–Buy the traditional “walking shoe” –it has a slick bottom and it is not really a great shoe for walking. Its only good attribute is the high top.

–Buy the cute flimsy shoe that matches the outfit oh-so-perfectly. Make sure it is a decent shoe and will not flip over or the foot slide off too easily.

Have fun with your new walking baby! It is not long before the leg hikes up and your toddler is on the move with climbing–this can happen within hours of the first steps!!!

  3. Along with the whole thing that seems to be developing throughout this area, a significant percentage of opinions are generally relatively radical. Nonetheless, I appologize, but I can not subscribe to your entire plan, all be it exhilarating none the less. It looks to me that your commentary are not entirely justified and in simple fact you are your self not even entirely convinced of your argument. In any case I did appreciate looking at it.

  72. The very root of your writing whilst sounding reasonable in the beginning, did not really sit very well with me personally after some time. Someplace throughout the paragraphs you managed to make me a believer but only for a short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and you might do nicely to help fill in those gaps. In the event that you can accomplish that, I will surely end up being fascinated.

    As a buyer, you likely won’t have to pay agent commission whether you buy a home or not, since sellers usually pay the commission. But keep in mind that agents are paid at the end of the process, so if you tour homes with a real estate agent and don’t end up buying, the agent won’t be paid for their time.If you’ve signed a contract known as a buyer’s agency agreement, it may be difficult to break up with your agent later if you decide you don’t like them and want to work with someone else. Make sure to ask questions before signing a contract. Low commission real estate agents offer to sell your home for a commission a few percentage points lower than normal agents (normally around 6% of the home price, with half going to the buyer’s agent and half to the seller’s, though the full cost is traditionally borne just by the seller). They claim that because they’re paid less, you make more on the sale. But will that savings on commission cost you in other ways, potentially in a much lower sale price?
