child clothings & shoes Only a generation ago, it was thought
that children learning to walk needed stiff hard soled shoes to
support their ankles and arches. However, research since then
has shown that the feet of young children are soft and pliable,
and that their arches are plenty strong to support their weight.
As such, pressure from the wrong kind of shoe can harm the
natural development of their feet. Pediatricians now recommend
that children up to two years of age go barefoot. However, it's
not always practical for kids to go bare-foot. The solution for
that are lightweight, soft soled, flexible shoes which are
breathable and allow the child's feet to grow naturally. Soft
soled shoes also let children feel the texture of the ground
under their feet, helping to develop their sense of balance.
