How do you feel about Baby Shoes?

lnrussell · October 2011

We have been so blessed with items for our precious little girl... but I am wondering about baby shoes, especially for newborns. Do you think they will ever get used?

We won't put shoes on him as a newborn, but he was given a few pairs that start at size 1 that I'm sure we'll use. He was also given water shoes & sandals that will come in handy this summer since we live a few miles from the beach.

I've recieved two pairs of shoes for him at my last shower. They're 3-6 and 6-9. We might get a pair of 0-3 if we don't get any at our next shower, just because they're soooo cute!

They're cute to finish an outfit at times (i.e. the Christmas/Baptism/Easter dress), but aren't really necessary at this point until they're old enough to actually be walking around.

I think baby shoes are pretty much the cutest thing ever!

But... I know they're not necessary for a long while. I've bought a few pairs super cheap and am calling that good.

They are super cute, but since they made those socks that look like shoes they aren't really necessary - with that being said we have about 6 pairs that either I bought or we got as gifts...

I put shoes on my babies all the time. It kept their socks from falling off. Plus I think they are cute. Once they started walking, I put them on them when we go out, but they go barefoot while they learn to walk.

We do soft soled shoes until about 18 months like Robeez.

Totally unnecessary but freakin' cute!

We only have 2 pairs, one that I bought...but they look like mini Uggs so she can match her mommy! And then another pair I got during the gift exchange.

I will probably just put LO in them if it's REALLY cold outside. I think they're adorable but not necessary.

I don't like shoes on babies until they can walk. All of the ones that I've seen are really stiff and feel very uncomfortable.

indomesticbliss · October 2011

We do robeez and other soft soled shoes. Our LO just started needing shoes with a little more traction and sole about 2 months ago.

I am not a "socks only" person when the kiddos go out in public (nevermind barefeet). Our newborn has some zutano fabric booties and infant mukluks for immediate wear, and then a bunch of robeez from LO #1 once his/her feet are big enough.

If you don't like shoes and don't like the socks look on a newborn, there's always pants with feet-Carter's has a ton.

It's cold where we live. Help to keep those little feet warm!

They never stayed on when my daughter was a newborn/infant, so I just gave up on them. They're really not necessary until your baby starts to walk. They are super cute, though.

They are cute, but definitely not necessary. We used them before DD could walk only to keep her socks on in the winter

Actual shoes - no, I think they are a waste.

I used Robeez with DD and loved them because they were soft, and they held the socks on that seem to always fall off new babies kicking their feet.

If the baby would keep them on, definately maybe, but the other two i had it was more of a hassle to make sure that when they were on, they stayed on and one did not get lost! LOL
