white baby shoes
Elizabeth Gardner wrote:
Also, for any individual pair of shoes, you'll find that this is a very short-lived problem. I remember buying a pair of those white leather shoes as "baby's first," and since it was winter when she started walking, they were rarely worn. No shoes inside, and boots for outside. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't have bothered. She outgrew them in about 30 seconds, and for her second pair, I think I went to sneakers. And stayed there, except for white sandals in the summer and "party shoes" for special occasions. I don't really recall shoes for DD or DS, either. We did buy those cloth booties with the elastic tops, but whenever it was warm, most of the time the kids were barefoot or in socks (unless they pulled the socks off ) Scott DD 10 and DS 7 |

I'm in Toronto, so I don't know what brands you can buy where you
live, but they make liquid white shoe polish that comes with in a bottle with a sponge top applicator. Works well. Here is the only picture I could find of a product like this, but here its quite common, particularly in white. Covers dirty marks quite well. http://www.allheart.com/nm880224.html Mary G. |

wrote: Perhaps a bit OT, but we just bought our 1-year-old new shoes, and my wife insisted on white (over my objections that they'd get much dirtier than black). They're already(!) getting dirty. Is there a good way of really cleaning white shoes (beyond removing the removable particles)? FWIW my husband is in the navy and wears white shoes. When he's in a hurry and hasn't got any shoe polish he uses toothpaste on a soft cloth. That might help you. -- Cheryl Mum to DS#1 (11 Mar 99), DS#2 (4 Oct 00) and DD (30 Jul 02) |

Have you tried buying soft-soled leather baby shoes? We buy ours from a
site called Cute BabyShoes -- http://www.cutebabyshoes.com They have 10 brands and usually have 600+ pairs in stock. All of them are hand or machine washable and they have soft leather uppers and soft suede soles. My kids have worn them from birth well into the walking years. The soft soles help them grip the ground and the elastic closures keep them on (with or without socks) so baby can't pull them off and lose them. Then once they're dirty we just hand wash them quickly and let them dry. They always look great. Plus the company is great to work with and has super fast shipping. Alexa mom to 2 boys |
