Tiny Toes Footwear

Happy Feet

The bones in a baby's foot begin as soft flexible cartilage, which is why a shoe that is too still stiff or too tight can come to affect the overall shape and potential movement of your child's foot, permanently. This can lead to chronic issues well into adulthood.

This is why barefoot movement, especially inside shoes, is so important for your baby's foot health. When a child begins to crawl, and eventually take their first steps, bare feet (and tiny toes) need to grip, flex and twist so that they can develop the necessary strength and muscle tone, while receiving the kind of neurological and physical feedback cues that are so critical for maintaining proper balance and continuous upright movement. Barefoot really is best!

But the world isn't always as friendly to a child's tiny toes as inside their own home! Sometimes little feet need big help to protect them from the sort of everyday hazards and grimy germs that come along with adventurous days out.
