And that's just what they'll do! When worn by the adorable Miss 'Walking' Paige. Every day is an adventure with the little darling; today's was a trip for her very first pair of shoes. Wow - much more of a travail than I expected. I knew proper fitting of these precious little feet was important, but didn't realise just how long it would take - and how much variation there is in sizing from one brand to the next.
According to the
Start-Rite gauge, she was a size 4G (whatever that means). However, the Start-Rite shoes didn't fit. Nor did the pricy Italian ones, nor some other of the many brands I'd never heard of. Turns out Paige's right foot still has a bit too much baby fat (on the feet, who knew? in addition to length and width you need to worry about foot *height* for little feet) for most shoes. Luckily
Geox to the rescue, clearly catering for the plus-sized baby foot. (nope, I didn't know they did baby shoes either...)
And voila - Paige has her first pair of shoes... and so the slippery slope to Louboutins, Choos, and Manolos begins...
