So let’s talk about baby shoes…when should they be worn? How will they effect my baby?

My opinion…I hate to see babies in shoes before they can walk! To me, they look so uncomfortable, I’ve found the disadvantages weigh out the advantages!

When a baby starts to learn to walk around your house, they should be barefoot so they can get a feel of things, and learn proper balance, Coordination and ensures a good posture. Like an adult, the only time a baby should wear shoes is outside and this is only to protect their feet.

  • Did you know that Your baby has soft bones, so shoes before they’re ready can modify the rate at which your babies feet grow, that shoes Can morph the shape of your babies feet, they can cause ingrowing toenails. The shoes need to be fitted by a professional.
  • If you do decide to put your baby in shoes before they walk, then make sure they’ve been fitted by a professional so that your baby is as comfortable as they can be without doing damage!

    • Myself personally I haven’t put shoes on my sons feet, and won’t until he shows signs of walking. When he does show signs of walking, I will take him to get his first pair of Clarke shoes, so I know they’re fitted properly, meaning he isn’t at risk of damaging the structure of his feet or causing any other problems.
