Teeny Shoes to Fill
At one year old, my little man is this close to walking. He’s not there yet, but he can make it about half way across the living room, easily five or six steps at a time. (I really don’t know who is more proud; Him or me?)
With it being summer at the moment, I haven’t given much thought to shoes, but I know cooler days are not too far away and his days of going from the house to the car, to the store and to the playground with bare feet are just about over.
I’m a fan of Robeez pre-walkers and shoes. Not only for functionality but holy cow- the style! Here are some pointers from the Robeez website about choosing shoes for your little feet:
When you’re choosing shoes for their developing feet:
1. Make it soft. A softer sole that cushions, allows toes a better grip, helping balance and muscle growth.
2. Get fit. A shoe with elastic hugs the ankle with every step, staying snug and secure for a great fit.
3. Measure up. Little feet grow quickly, so measure regularly.
4. Be flexible. Shoes should not restrict proper bending of the joints. A soft flexible soled shoe allows the foot to flex with ease.
5. Go light. Help the new walker go light and stay upright by choosing a lightweight shoe without bulky padding and heavy soles.
6. Get wiggling. Promote movement and flexing of their growing feet with games like “This Little Piggy”. ”
