- Babies toes are proportionally longer than those on an adult foot. They need more room in the toebox than adults do.
- Babies feet perspire two times more than adult feet, so footwear should offer breathability, absorbency, and fit accuracy to prevent blisters.
- Babies feet hit the ground with more force than adults feet, they need more cushioning and protection.
- Foot development can be compromised by tight socks and shoes.
- Its NOT OKAY to "hand-down" shoes from one child to another- shoes form to a child's foot, so a hand-me-down shoe may affect the walking patern of a 2nd wearer.
- In an average lifetime, a person walks approximately,115,000. miles, about 5 times around the world! Shoes should offer a comfortable, correct fit.
and remember:
Happy Feet, Happy Kids, Happy Parents!
