Why are baby or toddler shoes with flexible soles better for my child?
While pediatricians now agree that barefoot is best for foot development, it is not always practical. Flexible soles are recommended because they are protective for indoor and outdoor wear, yet not restrictive. The soft sole and the smiley shoes actually move with your child’s feet and fit them perfectly all the time. Both provide your child’s feet with the protection they need while still allowing their little feet to develop naturally.
