My baby is moving from sitting up to crawling around, should we be looking for shoes?

Based on our 25 years in the children's shoe industry, we believe that it’s important to keep your baby barefoot as much as possible during their early crawling and cruising stages so they can grip the ground move freely. However, baby shoes become necessary when the terrain is uneven, too hot, or too cold. And socks, even though they will keep your baby's feet warm, don't give the proper support or are too slippery in some cases to be effective. Baby's footwear sould be soft and flexibe and imitate bare feet. Stride Rite has developed a line of Stride Rite infant shoes that many moms have utilized for baby's first steps.
