My little girl refuses to wear shoes. She screams, cries, claws and develops tantrums whenever I put anything but socks onto her feet. No taming method works, not until we take them off. This situation worsens these 2 days. She actually cries before I ever tuck her feet in.
I have tried few pairs: soft fleece, rubber, griped, sandals, Nike... just wondering if I should go on investing more on different brands and types or let her go barefoot.
Some baby experts says feet develops best when they are bare; it helps build arches and strengthen ankles.
Should I battle it? Or just let her go barefoot? Anyone having any idea?

The first few times, she screams when we put shoes on her. but i guess its a matter of conditioning. once she knows wearing shoes = going out, she is ok with it now. may be try a few more times, or find a shoes with cute cartoon she likes. eg, sesame street.
Agree with what Regine says.... if your daughter knows how to walk on her own, you must let her wear shoes. Maybe you can bring her to a park, let her see how other kids play and run... if she wants to get down on the floor and walk, then, you'll need to tell her she must wear her shoes in order to do so. Give that a try as I've tried on my son and now he knows that he must wear his shoes in order to go out.
She hasn't started walking yet, though. I am not sure if I am too early or too late to get her on the shoes, when all she can do is just to stand alone for around 20 seconds maximum.
The battlefield is still on every morning and the crying is nonstop from the time the shoes are on, when we leave home for the park, and back home. People are staring me all the way, as if I am an abductor.
Someone says that I should bring her to the shoe shop to let her pick her ones. I don't think she would be able to deal with choices, but I shall give it a try.
When did you start to get her on the shoes? Sophie was started from 6 months when she was going out. How about wearing socks? At this moment, just let her bare foot. I think she will know that she must wear shoes when going out later.
Something excited to share. But first of all, let me answer your question first. I just start putting her shoes on these few days. For socks, she just hates them and would try to remove them if she can.
Ok, now time for the good news. Miracles could happen. Tonight when we were about to bring her down to the clubhouse, we were prepared for the fight with her on the shoes. Out of the blue, she just screamed for a second or two, and let us do our part. Surprise? Who knows what is in a baby's mind!
