Stupid Q - But I cant get ANY boots on my LOs feet!!

[Jacey]

Hi ladies,

Just wondered if anyone has a "technique" lol for getting boots on the LO's feet!! I ve several pairs of ugg style boots even in bigger sizes but I CANNOT get my daughters feet into any of them properly, its quite frustraing lol !!

Any tips greatly appreciated xx

No solution but your not alone, my son can't wear any boots he has a really high arch so they just don't fit.

What "width" is your daughters foot - my son measures a G but always ends up with a H. where-as most highstreet shoes are "F's". I've given up and the only boot he has is a wellie and I have to buy them at least a whole size bigger than the shoes he wears.

I always had to go up at least half a size with my daughter. I always had to twist the boot on. Hard to explain lol. Haven't tried with my little man yet!

My son is a H fit and also has a high arch. Drives me nuts! When he was younger the only wellies he could wear were really expensive ones. Now, he can wear most but usually in at least 1 size above his normal size. I just bought him some vivobarefoot terra plana shoes and they fit him amazingly well. I'm not sure if they do boots but they're definitely worth a look for children with 'difficult' feet!

I usually put them on best i can then stand LO up and sort of "shake" her into them whilst holding the tops of them Hard to explain!

We have to wriggle them around a bit and sometimes kind of twist them when putting them on Dani, unless they have a zip on the side. So hard to explain, sorry.
Adalyn can't wear most boots because her legs are too chunky ><

I can't get my own feet into a lot of boots because I have a high arch
