So how often do you buy your baby’s shoes? All babies grow at different rates, but you can expect to buy new shoes in bigger sizes at least every three to six months. Check the fit and condition of your baby’s shoes at least once a month.

Check for signs of wear on the shoes and be ready to replace them if the bottoms are cracked, there are holes in the top, or any pieces are flapping around. Babies and toddlers will find plenty of things to trip over, so be sure their shoes aren’t part of the problem.
