What about rocks, sticks, glass, or other sharp things? Well, don&#8217;t let <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>&#8216;s bare feet loose on any city sidewalks, but in playgrounds, parks, backyards, and homes, it&#8217;s a good idea to let <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> walk and explore sans shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>&#8216;s feet are still growing <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this stage in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> life, <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> doesn&#8217;t have fully formed bones in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> feet, and <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they won&#8217;t<\/span> until around 5 years old. <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">They is<\/span> growing and learning how to walk, and <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> feet need to grow and learn how to be feet. If they&#8217;re stuck&nbsp;in shoes all day, they don&#8217;t get to flex and develop properly, and <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> may have a little harder of a time learning to walk and run and climb. Wearing shoes while learning to walk can also make&nbsp;the foot conform to the shape of the shoe. When you&#8217;re playing around the house, walking outside, or hanging out anywhere where you know the ground is safe,&nbsp;let <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> explore with bare feet.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>It will help <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> walk<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barefoot, <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> will be able to feel and grip the ground (or anything else <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they might<\/span> be playing on). <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">They will<\/span> know when the ground dips, becomes softer, or changes texture, and <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they will<\/span> be able to adjust accordingly. <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">They will<\/span> also build up callouses on the bottom of <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> feet, making it easier for <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> to walk around barefoot the more <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they does<\/span> it. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>It&#8217;s good for <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> body<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wearing shoes changes how your feet propel your body forward, and it&#8217;s important while <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> is growing that <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they uses<\/span> all those muscles in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> toes, feet, ankles, and legs. <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">They also won&#8217;t<\/span> have to deal with the added weight of shoes being attached to <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> feet, and <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they will<\/span> have a better understanding of <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> own body. The nerves in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> feet will help <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> recognize&nbsp;the ground beneath <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>. Basically, <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they will<\/span> have a much better way of knowing&nbsp;of where <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they ends<\/span> and the world begins. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">None of this means <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they needs<\/span> to (or should!)&nbsp;go shoeless forever. There are certainly times when it&#8217;s best that your little one&#8217;s feet are protected. When you need <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span>&nbsp;feet to be warm or covered but still want the benefits that bare feet provide, socks with rubber grips can be a good in-between solution. And shoes have their place too! They&#8217;re perfectly fine for short periods of time and don&#8217;t have any negative effects on dangling feet. They&#8217;re just not good for all-the-time wear while <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> is learning how to walk and use <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> feet. When <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> does&nbsp;need shoes to walk in, look for ones with flexible rubber soles with soft material on top. See if you can bend and flex shoes before you buy them, and try to avoid anything stiff or rigid. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel like you&#8217;re missing out on any cute shoe opportunities, remember, baby socks are good for early walkers and are also the most adorable clothing articles in the entire world.
