Tag: New Shoes

Clearly my daughter has not inherited the “shoe” gene! We went to Stride Right the other day (great back to school sale going on, BTW) to get her some new shoes. Her tiny feet aren’t so tiny any more. And boy do they grow fast…I’ve never seen feet grow so quickly.

We bought 2 pairs (one at full price, which was surprisingly reasonable, and the other at 1/2 off). Sophie even wore one pair out of the store! But as soon as we got home and she saw her “old shoes,” she wanted those back on her feet. Every time we say, “time to put your shoes on,” she runs to the closet shouting, “old shoes, old shoes!”

Her poor feet are crammed in to those old shoes but I can’t get her to switch over. I know, soon she will have to wear the new ones because the old ones simply won’t fit on to her feet, but by then I fear even the new shoes will be too small. Baby’s feet grow so fast!

Has anyone else felt so defeated by the whole constantly buying new shoes business? It’s just wearing me out…and wearing my wallet out!
