Right Foot-Left Foot

Took Jonathon out shopping today for a pair of sandals. This shopping trip was not as easy as I would have liked it to be.

I had his feet sized 22 days ago at a local shoe store that sells Stride Rite. They told me that his size was size 6 and that they would order the shoes. When I called on Thursday, they hadn't even ordered the shoes yet. The shoes were supposed to be in on May 10th......

So I packed him up and went to a different shoe store(farther away). They had the sandals in stock that I wanted ordered from local shoe store. These sandals did not fit at all. His little toes stuck right through the sides of the shoe.....

So we tried on a couple of different pairs. Same thing, little toes would slide through. They tried a smaller size and his big toe would hang off the end of the shoe....

So we resized him. His right foot is a size 6 and his left foot is a size 5 1/2... No one is going to sell two different size shoes... We continued to try on about 10 more pairs of sandals. I finally found a little soft shoe that I really liked, but was concerned about his right foot out growing the shoe too fast.... So I gave up and left....

On the way home I stopped off a Target to let Jonathon use the restroom. Decided since I was there we might as well see what they have in sandals....

I found a pair of sandals with open toes. They velcro over the foot, over the middle of the foot and velcro around his ankle... I put these on, put him down to try them out walking.... They worked fine. No slipping on the ankle. No little toes sneaking out the sides.....

FINALLY! A pair of sandals that will work for us.







Needless to say I will not shop at the local shoe store any longer since they couldn't even order the shoes like they had promised and technically sized his feet incorrectly.
