Buying Baby And Toddler Shoes

In one way buying baby shoes is easier than buying grown up or bigger kids shoes, because little ones won’t spend nearly as much time on their feet as they will when they get a bit older. And of course, their feet don’t have to withstand the pressure of a full adult weight on top of them all day every day. Every time an average man takes a step, there is about 90kg of pressure pushing down on the relatively small area of a single foot, so as a person grows bigger, their shoe needs change.

Baby shoes don’t need the intrinsic stiffness that normal shoes do. They don’t have so much weight to support, if any at all, so softness and comfort can be the first concerns. The only difficulty lies in the fact that babies can’t tell you if a shoe is comfortable or not, so you have to fit them generously and be careful not to do them up too tight. A nice padded pair of baby socks can also help make sure tiny feet are comfy in their first shoes too.

Because the requirements are so loose, baby shoes are great fun to buy. In most cases you can choose from our range of high quality designs by simply browsing through and picking out the style and colour you like the most. We stock a broad variety of summer and winter baby and toddler shoes, sandals, and booties so there should be something for everyone. Do remember, however, that babies grow fast, and that includes their feet!
