From Crawling to the First Step

 Now that your baby is on the move, you may want to consider purchasing their first pair of baby shoes. With so many styles of baby shoes on the market, which ones are the best choice for a new walker? At Sweet Feet we carry premium quality per-walkers and walkers for growing baby's feet. Brands such as Pediped, Biomecanics and Primigi, are recognised by US and European podiatric medical associations as being beneficial for children's growing feet.

As children's feet need to grow and move as freely as possible in the months preceding taking that first step. When choosing shoes, The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends styles that are lightweight and flexible to support natural foot movement.

• Leather is still considered to be the ideal shoe material owing to its flexibility, porosity and breathability; also mesh.
• The sole should be soft and pliable;
• The toe box should never be so tight that it stops the child from moving his toes;
• the back of the shoe must have sturdy sides to support the child when standing but must not hinder the movements of his ankles

At Sweet Feet we carry many cute, stylish and healthy baby shoes that are designed to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) and Spanish Association of Paediatrics standards, such as Pediped, Biomecanics and Primigi, they also come in sizes that go from infant to big kid.
