Barefoot is best for healthy foot development. In countries where footwear is not used, studies show an almost total absence of adult foot problems. For further reading on this topic, you can check out medical research (Click Here) at the unshod website. Obviously it is not always practical to be barefoot - which is where good shoe design comes in for warmth and protection while simulating barefoot conditions as much as possible for natural foot development.
Allow plenty of room for toes to wiggle and spread. This means not only your shoes, but care should also be taken to make sure that socks are loose and sleep suits do not cram the toes.
Buy shoes from reputable companies designed specifically for toddlers and young children. A young child's foot is a different shape from that of an adult or teenager, requiring a correspondingly much bigger toe area than the shape of an adult shoe. Many shoe manufacturers children's shoes are simply scaled down versions of adult shoes.
Soling material for outdoor shoes on hard surfaces such as sidewalks should be slip resistant, shock absorbing and flexible. (Click "Here" to see photos of Soft Star Soles.) The best soles are protective while simulating barefoot conditions, meaning no heels, arch supports or other "molding" features.
Upper materials should be made of breathable material such as leather or cloth. Children's feet sweat more than adults, up to 1 cup of moisture per day. Avoid synthetic nylons or plastic materials. Our sheepskin lining in our moccasins and boots is an ideal material as it wicks moisture away from the foot.
