you DO NOT need to buy EXPENSIVE SHOES to safeguard your Toddler's feet UIL..*}
Why?
No shoes at any price are better than sensiblypriced WEE WALKERS for a toddler's normal feet. Cost less because they are made by America's largest exclusive baby shoe manufacturer, and sold through mass distribution stores. The best safeguard is to not let baby grow into and out of shoes. Buy the correct size NOW and change to a larger size IN TIME.

I SAW IT HAPPEN
It was the night that the 20th Century-Fox offices here in Panama gave a very gay party for Cesar Romero and Tyrone Power, who arrived in their plane, "Saludos, Amigos," for a three-day holiday. A group of Panamanian senoritas were performing the "Tamborito," our national dance. They were whirling away in their beautiful costumes to the tune of the gay music, when suddenly one of the girls invited Cesar Romero to join them. He certainly stole the show when he danced graciously and sang our music. Cesar Romero is the perfect "Good Will Ambassador."
