You've Got To Laugh Haven't You?

We have just bought our 13 month old his first pair of "proper" shoes, but he hates them. He can walk really well without them on or with the soft shoes he already has but when we put on the new shoes he sits down and screams blue murder! Any suggestions to make this a bit easier for him and us?

I dont want to scare you, but if it continues maybe talk to your health visitor about it and get them to see what he is like with them on and check his feet over.
It may be the shock of proper shoes! kids are stubborn g*ts sometimes!
good luck
you're sure they fit? I ask because I always hated shoes, till I was 10 or more, because they never seemed to fit me - always felt too tight. Well, I was right of course, they were too tight, and I have had a lifetime of bad feet ever since. So I've always taken the kid's side in any such debates.
But if you're sure they're not pinching or confining, then kick3m0n's psychological strategy sounds like a good one. See if you can put your shoes on before Mummy can put hers on...
