Stride Rite Foot Facts:
- Bones are not fully formed in a child's foot until age 6. While the foot is still developing, the cartilage can be easily influenced by ill fitting footwear
- The 52 bones in the human foot make up one quarter of all the bones in the human body
- Babies feet do not have arches. Arches do not start developing until 2 to 3 years old
- Babies feet perspire two times more than adults, so always look for breathable materials such as leather and mesh or anti-microbial linings
- The heel is the one bone in the foot that helps to balance baby's entire body
- Similar to your body, your feet are still growing into your late teen years. So your tenth pair os shoes is just as important as your very first
