Lucas has finally started taking his first few steps so I excitedly took him to get his feet measured for his first pair of real shoes.
We went to Paces and Laces in Leyland, a local independent shop with many different brands including Bobux, Hush Puppies, Toms and Crocs. The shop has children’s books and trains built against one of the walls to sit in. There is also a fish tank integrated into the counter below the till. Lucas loved that and tried going behind the counter to have a further nosy. They also have a loyalty scheme where I get a point for every pound spent, at 200 points I will get £15 off.
Lucas got measured, he is size 3.5, we were given a selection of shoes that were suitable for him to look at. I chose a pair of Bobux shoes, £34.90 as I love the bright blue against the grey. The toes also have a bobbly black coating, perfect from protecting against any scuffing as Lucas is still switching in between crawling, walking on his knees and walking properly.
This post is an entry for BritMums #PetitsFilousFirsts Linky Challenge, sponsored by Petits Filous. We were given some vouchers to try My First Petits Filous, a vanilla flavoured yoghurt with low sugar content that also contains calcium and protein to help build strong bones. Unfortunately all of my local shops have sold out…I’m taking that as a good sign and I’m looking forward to them coming back into the stores. I’ve taken the photo off Petits Filous website for you to keep an eye out x

Cute shoes. I love shopping for baby shoes.
Love the velcro shoes. They are so handy to have at their age! Mind you, T is almost six and is still struggling to tie her own shoelace! 😉
Those shoes are so cute, I remember when my girls feet were that small
Very cute! I wish adult she shops had fish tanks too!
Those Bobux shoes are so cute! They certainly look very comfortable. I also loe the bright blue against the grey, very smart 😀
love* My V key hates me lol.
Haha 🙂 x
Oh my goodness those shoes are so cute. I have loved seeing my nephews going from their first uncertain, wobbly steps to getting the hang of walking.
It is a beautiful thing to watch x
Aw cute little shoes! Well done Lucas for walking!xx
Thank you Hannah x
baby shoes are super cute! It’s a pity they wear them for such a short time
xx
It is but my Mum still has mine and my brothers first shoes on the fire place x
The shoes look so cute, I love the colour. It must be such a special moment to see him taking his first few steps. x
It was, it’s lovely seeing his face full of pride x
Love baby/kids clothes and shoes, you’ve picked a smashing pair there.
The blue and grey in the shoes works really well. I do love Bobux, they are a great brand for little feet
Well done Lucas on taking those 1st magical steps! Your shoes are very cute!
Awww such a cute first pair! love the colour, and there so cute when they first start walking, I couldn’t stop staring at my little ones when they took their first steps 🙂
The Bobux shoes are so cute, I love the colour and the style of them. Love petit filous as well!
Oh wow those shoes are just so small and so cute x
We love Bobux Shoes, it’s funny you should mention Paces and Laces as Leah got her first pair of shoes from the same shop when we lived back in Leyland 3 years ago! I must go back there on my next visit up north, love their fish tank in the display cabinet. Hope they still do Lelli Kelli’s! Thank you for sharing #WeekendtotStyle
Haha yes the Lelli Kellis are still there x
Such cute little shoes – their feet grow so quickly! Well done Lucas. Kaz x
That’s very sweet, a very trendy boy. Also, I’m still a massive fan of those yogurts 😉
Tiny shoes are so utterly adorable, aren’t they? First steps are a big thing too. 🙂
All baby shoes are so cute – makes me want to buy them even know I don’t have any babies!
well done for now walking little man! those shoesm are so cute!!! wish their feet stayed tiny forever
How cute are those little shoes! We recently had Olivia’s feet measured so i am now slowly building up he shoe collection.
What fabulous little first shoes! We love Bobux. They are a really great brand and are super comfy for little feet. The thing I like most about them is that they are nice and simple and not overly ‘kiddy’ – if you know what I mean 🙂 Thanks for linking up with us and hope you’ve had a great weekend lovey! #weekendtotstyle
Lovely to hear about special firsts. Commenting for myself and on behalf of Britmums and thanking you for taking part.
Getting the first pair of shoes is so so exciting! I love the ones you have chosen – they look so comfy! xx
Gorgeous shoes! I love Bobux shoes 🙂
Thanks for linking up to #FunkyKidFriday xxx
We swore by Bobux shoes when sebby was a bub
What a gorgeous first pair of shoes! Well done little man 🙂 x x
OMG they are so small. I remember buying my daughter’s from Clarks when she started walking.Now she has tonnes of sandals and girly shoes. Bless !! Thanks for sharing with #bestandworst xx
Gorgeous shoes. I loved buying my daughter’s first pair. There so tiny!
I’m impressed! How did you manage to keep Lucas calm and still enough for a measurement? Our first attempt was a screamy nightmare!
Our youngest is nearly one but no need for shoes yet. Love the idea of the fish tank.
