Is your baby not with you and you want to buy him a new pair of shoes in his size? This mom has the solution.
Baby is about to take his first steps or has already started walking? It’s time to choose a pair of shoes adapted to his little feet. And as he grows, you will need to find models adapted to his size, but also to the new season that is coming. As summer approaches, we swap sneakers for light, open and airy shoes, which still support baby’s feet. But what should we do if our child is not with us when we go shopping? “Last time, I took a day off, the little one was looked after by the childminder, and while passing in front of a shop, I said to myself that I was going to buy him sandals for the summer, but without for him, it’s impossible to know which size to choose between 22 or 23”, regrets Emilie, mother of little Arthur. As a result, she put the pair of shoes down to come back and buy them later, with him.
If it is rather advisable to buy shoes with your child so that he can try them on and walk a little in the store, a mother has found another solution which turns out to be a good alternative. This simple and well-thought-out tip allows her to choose shoe models for her child, even if he is not there with her to try them on. And then, we must admit, we are more available for a shopping session when we are alone.
“This is something I would have liked to know as a new mother,” she says in a video shared on the Telyamagnets6 account on the social network Tiktok. Before going shopping, mom’s tip is to measure baby’s foot using a piece of woolen thread, which you cut up. This will serve as a guide for the size of your baby’s foot. All you have to do is slip it into your handbag and take it out in the store to check if the shoe is the right size. “This is the best way to shop for shoes without your little one,” the video advises.
