Yes, that's me!! I've just read on our local Facebook "sell anything" page that someone has a pair of Timberland Boots size 1 for sale. Fits 3 - 6 months old and wants £10 for them. Mine were in knitted bootees at that age!

[sherrardk]

Mine didn't wear shoes until they needed them, some people have more money than sense.

[tonyav]

They start these lumberjacks young these days I think, maggie ;-)

[pixie373]

I agree, sherr. Not just money, but I'm sure their feet are better being "free" when they aren't even walking yet.

[Mamyalynne]

They're only soft bootee style ones at that age.

Mine never wore shoes until they were walking either.

Pour little soul, his legs would have been weighed down with them. Bet he's like Mo Farrar now, unless they've bought him the next size up.

[Mamyalynne]

LOL , they're soft bootees.

Just for you Tony:

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavat'ry
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I love to press wild flow'rs
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars

Oh. They are quite cute:-) still not really necessary, imo, though.

[sherrardk]

Might be soft bootees, but they're £35! http://www.timberlandonline.co.uk/en/kids-footwear-infant/

Saw a 5 year old in a Ramones T shirt today. Just....wrong.

[maggiebee]

I know Mamya, but £35 for bootees for a 3 month old baby???

[pixie373]

Just trying to see if they do the pink ones in my size.....

[askyourgran]

Thanks for the link mamya I thought the poor little mite was in hobnails

[Mamyalynne]

I'm not saying they are necessary, was just giggling at folk thinking they were like grown up Timberlands with hard soles etc.

[tonyav]

Thanks maggie, loved that sketch.

So were mine Maggie, and they didn't get a pillow til they asked for one.

[ferlew]

They are vile Sherra.

[tonyav]

How those things are ridiculous, sherr.

[sherrardk]

They are gross, but a fool and their money are soon parted :)
