Can someone please explain why these shoes had the unfortunate effect of making her scream her pretty little head off, as if she were being beaten with them, rather than having them placed upon her dainty little feet?

There's a school of thought that says that development of walking skills is
better without shoes in the early stages. To the extent you can avoid them (i.e., when in moderately hygenic conditions), do. After all, shoes are a pretty recent invention, evolution-wise. She's probably freaking out that she can't feel her soles anymore.
For all crawling through early walking stages, the Grinches recommend
Robeez. They're real leather, machine washable, adaptable to both crawling and walking, and extremely durable. They're soft-soled, which helps kids learn to balance. Plus, they're Canadian!
