“Shoe Shopping” are two lovely words that most of us are excited to hear. Shoe-shopping might be fun, but not really when it comes to buying the first pair of shoes for your baby. You’ll be surprised that such a simple thing could get a bit complicated at times—especially when you have so many things to keep in mind before buying the first pair. As a mom, you’ll be struggling to get your baby to try on a pair without him wiggling out of your lap or throwing a tantrum. And even if you can get your baby on his feet without a lot of hassle, it can be really tricky to find out if the shoes that you have picked are of the correct size. Because most first time moms don’t have the experience of getting one, they may find it a bit exasperating, but once you get the first pair, the next time on, it’s a breeze. Let’s look at some things to keep in mind when you want to get your baby his very first pair of shoes.

In the beginning they tend to wobble and having a footwear might just add to the problem. At this point it is sufficient to have a pair of socks on to keep those little feet warm. But if you’re stepping outdoors and your little will not allow you to carry him, then you have no choice. Remember, the whole purpose of a footwear is to protect those little feet from being hurt or be stamped on by mistake. Don’t go too much for the looks, utility is important.
