What should you pay attention to when buying your first baby shoes?
Buying the first shoes, is of course super fun! Baby shoes are also very cute. We have a few tips that might help you with the purchase:
1. Right Size
When purchasing baby shoes, the right Size the most important thing to look out for. The shoes should fit nicely but not too tight. Therefore, stop by the store to have your feet measured.
2. Flexible soles
The soles of baby shoes should be supple and flexible. Your baby's feet should be able to move as naturally as possible. In addition, the soles should not be too slippery so your baby keeps slipping. Make sure the soles are finished with an anti-slip layer.
3. Solid backing
A shoe should of course be smooth and comfortable, but it is important that the shoe has a sturdy back. This allows the ankles to be straight, so your baby does not turn inward or outward. It also keeps your baby's ankles from twisting.
4. Material
The material of the shoes is also very important. The shoes should be able to breathe. This prevents sweaty feet. Leather, for example, is a material that breathes. Synthetic leather, on the other hand, does not.
5. Do the shoes go on easily?
Your baby's shoes are put on and taken off several times a day, for example with every diaper change. Of course, it's nice if the shoes are easy to put on and take off, both for you and your baby.
Foot development
Your newborn baby's feet consist mainly of cartilage and fat. There is still a fat pad under the entire foot that makes the feet flat. During the first few years, the fat disappears and cartilage is transformed into bone. Muscles begin to develop when a baby starts to move its legs. So the more your baby moves, the more the muscles begin to prepare to bear weight. Babies start standing and walking on their own when the feet are ready for this. It is therefore very important that the shoes are roomy enough so that it does not interfere with the development of the feet.
