Your child takes his first tentative steps in this big world. So strong direct walkers to get his feet? Or better first barefoot slogging it around?

If your baby starts to crawl, it's nice when he bit of grip on the ground. Socks with a antislipzooltje, or leather shoes are ideal for the first steps.

It is also very healthy for the little bare feet as much as possible to walk around. This stimulates the development of foot muscles. Less is right for your child in bare feet on a stone floor to run. That is just too hard and can be bad for his spine, through which to absorb the blows.

On holiday in bare feet through the sand are enjoying: Perfect! A good workout for all his muscles!

You can start with as little walker shoes after about 3 weeks stands firmly on its own feet.

Tips for choosing the perfect shoe

* Release the feet measurement to determine size. Only then both shoes and make sure your child stands up straight.
* Choose a model where the sole edge slightly wider than the shoe itself. This will prevent the leather part is easily damaged.
* Choose shoes with a wide forefoot, so that the toes have enough room. Bend the shoe here, so you are sure that the foot resists easy.
* Choose sturdy shoes with good hielomsluiting. Until the age of eighteen months it is best to choose high shoes, so your baby's feet can not capsize.
* Choose shoes of soft leather and porous. This allows the feet to breathe and it takes the moisture well.
* Buy the shoes are slightly too big so they last a while. New children may be up to 1.5 inches longer than the length of the longest toe.
* Do not automatically assume that only expensive shoes are good. It is true that cheap shoes are often made of materials that deform quickly. The children's feet are in full growth and thus distort it.


And further

- Always buy new shoes. Shoes are different from other children carried into and fit is not good to the feet of your child!

- Regularly check the shoes are big enough. Those little feet grow faster than you think!
