Robeez Baby Shoes: Highly Recommended by Pediatricians
Robeez Baby Shoes, by Stride Rite, are highly recommended by pediatricians, and all Robeez footwear bear the coveted Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association. Robeez recognizes the importance of foot care from the very beginning of life, because feet will carry people from infancy to old age. Foot conditions can affect children from a very young age, including ingrown toenails, plantar warts, heel pain, flat feet, in-toeing, out-toeing, and sports injuries.
When choosing baby’s first shoe, it is important to choose soft, flexible-soled footwear. Medical professionals agree, for healthy development of infant feet, barefoot is best, because their feet are made of soft cartilage which is easily compressible, and they don’t feel the pain until the damage is already done. For those times when baby can’t be barefoot, Robeez has embraced the recommendations of experts and created a whole line of footwear designed to protect tender feet and ensure natural foot function. All Robeez footwear have soft sole that are designed and built to flex and bend, to promote healthy infant foot growth without compression.
The human foot is one of the most complex parts of the body, with 26 bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. Infant feet are soft and pliable, and are therefore susceptible to abnormal pressures which can cause deformities. During the first year, children’s feet grow rapidly, reaching almost half their adult size. Podiatrists agree, the first year is by far the most important in terms of development. Cheap children’s footwear is frequently inflexible, tight and prone to falling apart. This can lead to the development of foot disorders, and can even affect the child’s personality. Youngsters with foot conditions frequently walk awkwardly and can carry themselves with poor posture. This can result in a shy and introverted child that avoids athletics and social activities.
When baby stands up and takes her first steps, make sure she is wearing Robeez baby shoes. Robeez’s soft-soled baby shoes ensure that when her muscles grip the floor, that her toes have the room to separate, giving her adequate control and balance. Feet that are confined within a tight shoe and a rigid sole prevent the toes from spreading, and prevent the foot muscles and ankle from developing the strength to keep her upright. Her nerve endings will be sensing the ground beneath her feet, sending signals to her brain to determine, with each step, where her weight should be distributed. Inflexible and tight shoes interfere with this brain feedback, which is why the flexible soles of Robeez baby shoes are so highly praised by medical professionals.
Features of doctor-recommended Robeez Baby Shoes:
- Soft, flexible sole: Robeez baby shoes have a soft sole that is thick enough to protect baby’s delicate foot that is soft enough to allow natural movement.
- Skid-resistant: On hardwood and tile floors, you want to make sure your baby’s shoes have adequate traction as she takes her first steps.
- Wide toe box: Baby’s toes are chubby and need to be able to wiggle. Avoid shoes with a tight toe box as it compresses the toes.
