Your questions answered…..
How do squeaky shoes encourage my child to walk?
A:Each time your little one takes a step they will be rewarded and motivated with a fun squeaking sound. This squeaking increases body awareness and entices your child to take their next step. Our squeaking shoes have flexible soles that offer traction to provide sure footing
Do you recommend squeaky shoes for pre walkers?
A: Experts agree that barefoot is best as your child is taking their first steps. Once your child spends two or more hours on his/her feet, they are ready to wear shoes. Squeaky shoes can increase fun and create body awareness for pre-walkers who spend time in a baby walker, bouncing swing ,or other exercise apparatus.
Can I disable the squeaker?
A: Love the shoes but planning a trip to a quiet place? No problem, the squeak can easily be temporarily or permanently disabled in either one or both squeaky shoes and you will still have a gorgeous pair of shoes for your toddler to run about in.
To temporarily disable – stick a small piece of plaster tape over the squeaker of the shoe. This can then easily be removed when you would like to reactivate the squeak.To permanently disable – put something permanent into the squeaker in the heel of the shoe. Many things will work such as dropping in some super glue or pushing in a small piece of blue tac or plasticine. Alternatively, use a small pointy instrument such as a fork tine to bend the reed inside the squeaker located in the heel of the sole.
All our squeaky shoes come with the squeaker permanently glued into the heel to ensure they are safe for your toddler to wear.For half the squeaky fun try disabling the squeaker in just one shoe!
How do I know what size of shoe to buy?
A: Measure your baby's feet from heel to toe while he or she is standing with toes flat. Then see our sizing chart guide below. Feet will have their largest length and width after a day of activity, so measure in the afternoon. It is perfectly normal for one foot to be slightly larger. Just work with the greater length. The 1/2” recommended for wiggle room is already built into the sizing charts. The shoes are quite a generous width. If your child has a particularly wide foot then you could consider ordering one size up from his/her normal size.
