Tips for Choosing Children's Shoes

Babies: Before they can walk or crawl, babies usually do not need to wear anything on their rapidly growing feet, except soft booties or socks for warmth
Toddlers: Choose lightweight shoes, which come up to the ankle to provide support. A smooth sole will decrease friction and tripping. Choose shoes that do not come off easily. Buying shoes more than one size larger may increase the chance of tripping and falling
School age children: Choose flexible shoes that bend in the center. Shoes should be well ventilated with a roomy toe area so the toes can wiggle. Lace-up or Velcro shoes are best for stability. Shoes should have a cushiony and absorbent insole. Children's feet grow rapidly so check often to make sure your child's shoes fit properly
