Sort of Shoe question

[writeleigh]

I keep reading everywhere that, unless we're outside or something, I should keep Liam (9 months) barefoot to help him learn to walk, stand better, etc. But from the way he crawls, he has developed a callous on his left little toe area, but on top of his foot. How do I protect his foot, but still somehow keep his feet uncovered??? Or do I not need to worry as much about keeping his feet uncovered?

get him some Robeez/ShooShoos/Jack & Lily's etc.......they allow easy foot movement while protecting his toes :)

Thanks - I'll check them out.

I was gonna suggest the same thing! :)

I just bought some Robeez at Nordstrom and love them - they're so cute and ultra soft . . . Liam is wearing them right now. After inspecting them, he seems to like them :) I can see why ya'll rave about Robeez . . .

Thank you!

which ones did you get?

I bought my Holden the cream colored lions - he LOVES them! (he really wanted the royal lions but alas, they don't come in sizes above 18-24mo)

They were almost sold out at Nordstroms, so the selection wasn't that great, but I got the soccer ball ones - he has a soccer ball that he LOVES. But I figured if I like them, I can always order other ones (maybe a different design) online once he outgrows these.
