or toes by wearing shoes on the wrong feet? Ashleigh is very into putting on her own shoes at the moment and obviously half the time gets it wrong. I noticed today after she had been wearing her gumboots for ages that they were on the wrong feet so just wondering if I should swap them round or just leave her to it? ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

I don't think it would do any damage. There are always heaps of the younger kids at school with their shoes on the wrong feet - they seem happy enough about it  -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

Ella quite often does it and she's such a stubborn wee sausage, she won't let me change them!
I just tell her that they're on the wrong feet and let her decide whether she wants to switch. She wore them to plunket like that, at her 3.5 yr old check and the nurse just had a chuckle about it, so I'm guessing its not a big concern  ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Nope Andrew does it all the time. I jsut laugh at him and tell him he will be walking in circles as they are on the wrong feet. He laughs at it too. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Lol. Keira does this all the time and I never notice (I think her jeans are just too long) It really doesnt seem to bother them.
Maybe if they were wearing their shoes on the wrong feet constantly for ages then it might damage them a little but every now and then I dont think it will make any difference - they'll get it right oneday. -------------

Yeah it never seems to bother her either. Except today she came in from playing in the sandpit, then about an hour later starting saying her foot hurt and I found half the sandpit in her gumboot lol (and the other half in her hair  )------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">
