Have you tried sock shoes

I got my little girl shoes once she started walking independently but if your LG goes out quite a bit I'd look at flexible shoes so she's still comfy x

I wouldn't get shoes until they walk even though they are called pre walkers, just because they can end up moulding their feet and making learning to walk difficult x

@Charlotte I don’t really want to get her shoes for that reason tbh! I’m just unsure what to pop on her feet because she absolutely LOVES being outside🥲x

If it’s for short amounts of time then I’d go for a pair of barefoot shoes and limit how long they wear them for. My eldest daughter is under orthotics and they said that it’s best to keep little ones barefoot as much as possible to help with foot development and don’t recommend shoes until they are confidently walking (normally 4-8 weeks after first independent steps). George (Asda) sell reasonably priced first walkers which are very similar to the barefoot ones which are quite spenny!

@Jenny Thankyou!! It would only be while she did a lap of the garden lol x

Oh then it’s fine to pop her in some prewalkers. I think it’s just discouraged to have them in “cute” shoes whilst they’re in the pushchair etc all day. These are the ones we were recommended https://direct.asda.com/george/baby/baby-boys-shoes/navy-tiger-strap-fasten-pre-walker-shoes/GEM1135907,default,pd.html
