HELP! How on Earth Do You Get Boots on Your Toddler?

I just bought Chloe these adorable Skeetchers Twinklle boots and they just arrived. OMG, I cannot get her to push her foot in for the life of me, anyone??

PS. She is two years old:)

I had the same problem! The only one that work for me is the ones with the big flap on the front to open them all the way (Stride Rite Cold Front has it).

When I put DD's uggs on I sort of bend the front part to get it in, it's hard to explain but it works. At first it wasn't easy but once I got the hang of it it worked

i buy 1 size up so its easier to get them in. My DD is a shoe horse. she loves shoe's and will find a way to squeeze her feet into anything.

I get DS feet in as far as I can and I make him stand up walk around and jump up and down....seriously. It makes his feet go all the way in.

Sean has a ridiculously high instep - same as me, so ANY shoe is a problem.

I got him snowboots that have the whole front that kind of folds out and down, and then velcros back up -

I had that prob with snow boots. Got DD boots from Stride Rite and they are AWESOME!!!! Open all the way down so it's like putting on a shoe. Love them!
