Why You Shouldn't Buy Baby Shoes: A Waste of Money

09.02.2024 18:25

During the first twelve months of life, babies require a minimal amount of footwear.

Perhaps you can limit yourself to one pair - boots that you will need for walking outside.

At home, it is more beneficial to allow the child to walk without shoes. In this case, the child's feet will form correctly, and the sense of balance and coordination will improve.

Besides, it is much more comfortable to crawl on the floor without shoes.

However, if your apartment is cool or the flooring is made of rough materials, you can buy booties or socks with an anti-slip coating.

But spending money on expensive shoes from famous brands that the child will outgrow in just a few months is not entirely rational.

Instead, it's better to choose more affordable options that you won't mind throwing away or giving to someone else.

As for the first shoes for a child, they should be lightweight, made of natural materials and provide good support for the feet and ankles.
