Can My Child Learn to Walk without Shoes?

It’s really important that little feet are able to grip the ground with their toes as they begin to develop bone and muscle in the foot. Your baby can best accomplish this while barefoot but, being barefoot is not always practical. For instance, if its the winter time and you have hardwood floors and they are cold on your bare feet, then you baby's feet will also be cold. Or if its summer time and you are outside, it would not be advisable to put your child bare feet in the grass, on concrete or stoned driveways, for this could cause injuries, cuts and infections.

When footwear is required as in examples above, flexibility and a soft and thin outsole are key. Look at Stride Rite shoes. Stride Rite infant walking shoes have been designed to be worn from the time your child first pulls up and stands around 9 months, to the time your child takes their first steps, around 12 to 15 months.

Our unique SRT product is based on years of research to how children best learn to walk in footwear. For more information about Stride Rite shoes, visit us online by clicking on our name: Tootsies Stride Rite. Tootsies is a Stride Rite distributor located in Richmond, Va. since 1985.
