My daughter is 9 months old and won't leave the shoes/boots alone. Where do you hide or keep your boots and shoes, so the kids stay out of them?
I can just imagine her chewing on my mud and manured speckled muck boots in a few months! I thought I'd get a boot box/ bench then I thought it would be too damp in the winter. So what about a boot rack? Like one that is attached to the wall? or what do you all do???
Maybe I'll have to gate off that corner of the room...

My little 'brother and sister' just learned no, the older girl (3) already takes her shoes off at the door and wipes her feet on the mat. lol The brother (almost 6 months) is just crawling, but he is learning what he can and can't play with.

lol, you guys crack me up. I wouldn't be as worried if she hadnt' already whacked her eyeball on the tv stand. It healed back to normal but there was a red/purple bruise on her eyeball for about a week! Yeah a little dirt never hurt anyone i suppose, just trying to avoid any problems that aren't too difficult to remedy. Some things just aren't going to be able to be hid.

hoofs_in_motion - 2015-09-09 12:53 PM It won't get any better.....my daughter will be 3 this saturday...and she likes to take mine, and walk around the house in them.
Ditto. I have a 19-month-old and a 4 year old. The younger one would put every shoe on his foot if he could. I keep the muddy ones by the back door. I built a shoe shelf to keep from tripping over them. It looks nice when the shoes are actually "in" it, but it doesn't deter the youngest from rearranging it.
