My daughter had Clarks crawler shoes & they had the toggle on but they were re-called for some reason so wonder why they have chosen to go with the toggles again. I do buy the Clarks school shoes for my 2 school age children as they are very good quality and do last a long while, even with daily battering from a football.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326061778349096186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-18607533662346453552011-04-30T13:41:37.423+01:002011-04-30T13:41:37.423+01:00You make really good points that I completely agre...You make really good points that I completely agree with. I have a bug-bear about the design of children's shoes, shoes in general actually. I hate it when they don't cut a little notch out of the back of the ankle to allow your ankle to bed and straighten without having a chunk of leather digging in your achilles' tendon. <br /><br />The Boy didn't wear any shoes until he was about 13-14 months; he went bare or wearing socks. I think I once put him in a pair of soft furry ugg style (M&S knock-off) boots that a friend gave him, when it was really cold. His first pair of shoes were a pair of cheapy Doodles-style shoes which he started wearing in July last year. He didn't have a pair of proper leather shoes until September or October. <br /><br />Thanks for linking up to ShowOff ShowCase :-)<br /><br />(Please can you see if you can get the name/url option in your comments?)TheBoyandMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000399931489923592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-7110988384896575572011-04-30T13:27:18.082+01:002011-04-30T13:27:18.082+01:00Burton didn't wear anything on his feet when h...Burton didn't wear anything on his feet when he was a baby - just socks or bare feet. I didn't see the point when they are growing so fast and i think when they a so small it is best to leave them free to grow. Since Burton started to walk he was given a pair of shoes and I do use Clarks because I believe they make good Childrens shoes (and charge enough forthe privilege!). At home evenmnw he has bare feet instead of slippers.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10524620493101422101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-23166973927411083912011-04-30T12:44:25.834+01:002011-04-30T12:44:25.834+01:00I'm a big barefoot believer too, mine don'...I'm a big barefoot believer too, mine don't even have slippers in the house.<br /><br />I do get their proper shoes from clarks though, as I think shoes should be measured to fit and clarks have been very good when I have had problems.<br /><br />Those shoes are cute though :-)Mummy...Mummy.....MUM!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08148306824929890541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-80617139675936818192011-04-30T11:35:48.422+01:002011-04-30T11:35:48.422+01:00Mine never had pram shoes, firstly because I am a ...Mine never had pram shoes, firstly because I am a big bare foot believer and their feet are so tiny and not formed properly yet and secondly because of cost. It was only when they got up on their feet that I got first shoes. I have to say we did get ours from clarks and we though the service was very good. They had a proper fitting, time was spent on them and then they got their photo taken with them on. I would recommend going in. xmultiplemummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409681812733103128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-72036563708871843232011-04-30T10:42:42.459+01:002011-04-30T10:42:42.459+01:00We're still quite fussy about the shoes we put...We're still quite fussy about the shoes we put on our little girl, even at nearly three. My cousin buys her daughters shoes from Soft Star as they're into the whole barefoot movement, but I live in an area where we probably wouldn't have go to too far to tread on a hypodermic needle, so soft soled shoes are out for us! We just try to make sure we always put her in shoes that dont rub, have good arch support and give her planty of room for her toes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-77422892174433310142011-03-16T14:06:49.476+00:002011-03-16T14:06:49.476+00:00I still don't really get the whole pram shoe/ ...I still don't really get the whole pram shoe/ pre shoe/ first shoe thing.
