Would you put your LO in used early walker shoes? Think I read somewhere you should avoid used baby shoes?
-
Yup. That's all I have right now are used early walker shoes. They're in perfect condition.

I would not. I don't let my girls wear any used shoes, not even one another's, but I am admittedly very paranoid about such things. And my grandmother swears wearing hand-me-downs ruined her feet (although I think there is more of a story there...). I will probably make an exception for winter boots/rain boots because of how little they get worn. I think the general consensus in the medical field is that as long as they are not worn to the point of being ratty/worn out, it is okay to use used shoes. I know Eric's sister uses Ellie's old shoes for her daughter and has never had any problem (Ellie is several years older, so she always has ones that actually fit).

Interesting! I've never heard that you should not put babies in used shoes. My LO is 12 months, doesn't walk a whole lot, and wears used shoes. Maybe I should get him new ones?
-
DD is 3 years old and has never had new shoes. We will likely be getting her new ones this summer.
-
As long as they are in very good condition (i.e., only a little used) then yes, I have no problem with it.
-
Only if they were in very good (like new) condition. Shoes can be crazy expensive!
-
Would this apply even for washable shoes like Robeez? Just curious since I've been scouring eBay/craigslist for a pair for DS.
