Soft Star Shoes: BABY

According to research published in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, "shoe-wearing in early childhood is detrimental" to healthy foot development. In fact, the study indicated that children who wore closed-toe toddler shoes were more susceptible to abnormalities such as flat foot and other problems. Such ailments have been attributed to the restrictive characteristic of most thick rubber soled toddler girl and boy shoes which are often nothing more than miniature versions of adult footwear that do not provide enough room for toes to wiggle and that are sometimes so tight that they can affect cartilage that is still developing into bone. One of the best ways to avoid these problems is let your children go barefoot. Unfortunately, this is not always practical because without protection your child's feet are exposed to sharp objects, dirt and other hazards. Thankfully, wearing soft toddler shoes provides an excellent alternative to going without shoes. There are several important characteristics to look for when you buy toddler shoes that will help to promote the bone and joint health in your child's feet as they mature. First, you will want to make sure that you buy toddler shoes that offer plenty of room for the feet. The toes should not be crammed into the shoes, and they should have space to wriggle and spread. In addition, you will want to look for toddler girl or boy shoes that offer protection from the elements. They should be made from a comfortable yet durable material that will act as a shock absorber and also protect feet from cuts, scrapes and stubbing. Look for soft, flexible, lightweight soling, without stiff, contoured foot beds. Breathability is especially important for children as their feet perspire 2-5 X that of adults.

Also, you will want to buy toddler shoes from a respected company that specializes in designing footwear for growing feet. If you are looking for just such a company, look no further.
