In the first months, the baby's feet grow best if not limited to shoes. Only socks are needed to keep the child's feet warm. But once the child starts walking outdoors, children need shoes to protect their feet.
Tips for shopping for shoes for toddlers
- Look for comfortable, non-slippery shoes, like sneakers, that can keep your child from slippery floors.
- Buy good quality shoes, but don't need to spend money on shoes.
- At this stage, the child's feet grow rapidly, so that the first pair of shoes will not last more than 2-3 months.
- Check the child's foot size about once a month; the upper part of the child's big toe should be as wide as the finger from the inside of the shoe.
