Firstly relax. If your child keeps kicking his shoes off he probably doesn´ t need them. If uyou must have him wear shoes, try to get him used to socks first, then try him on very light shoes.

The point is not to get him to wear shoes at any cost, but do so in a way that makes him feel that wearing them is as as natural as sleeping or eating. Best of luck

Brand

Try out Lilliput brand. They are really comfortable. Always wear socks with the shoes that will be more comfortable.

Child shoes

Young children´ s shoes must be soft and padded on the inner side. Also, you could make your child wear light cotton socks. Your child could also be sensitve or allergic to the material of the shoe. Might be a good idea to take medical opinion on this.

Shoes can be traumatic

The first shoes can be traumatic for a child. When I was taken to the store for my first shoes, so the family story runs, my grandmother living across the road a few blocks away, heard me bawling.

Trust women

Trust women to make a mountain of a mole hole. You want shoes, you go buy them. Period! No too much thinking, etc.
