Shoes for little feet
My first shopping experience with baby shoes was when Clayton turns one. I bought him a pair of Tip Toey Joey and added two more to the collection as they are so comfy and nicely-designed for his little feet.
I knew nothing about baby shoes at that time so I did abit of research to find out what’s best for little feet. Here are my findings:
• Baby shoes should be soft and non-restrictive to protect the baby’s soft bones that are growing fast
• Should preferably by lined with padded insoles to allow baby’s feet to flex naturally and absorbs perspiration
• Should have non-slip rubber soles
• Should be easy to put on and adjust to the shape of baby’s feet
• Would be nice if it’s attractive too!
Buying with a purpose
Clayton received a cute and lovely handmade teddy bear from our close friend, Bro Cheong and his dear wife. My eyes lit up when I unwrapped the gift. This must be one of the nicest, loveliest, crafted bear I have seen. These bears made great gifts for any occasion and what more, you are touching someone’s life when you purchase a bear.
*From 100teddybear.com:
