Today's medical experts recommend a soft, flexible-soled shoe for infants and children.
Your Child's Feet
The human foot is one of the most complicated parts of the body. At birth, feet contain only 22 partially formed bones. Over time those bones will grow and harden. In the first year, your child's feet will reach almost half their adult size. By the age of 18, their feet will have 26 bones, 19 muscles, over 100 ligaments, and thousands of nerve endings. That's a lot of change for something so tiny and precious. And that's why it's so important to select shoes that support healthy development.
Selecting Shoes
You've likely heard barefoot is best for growing feet but they also need protection and warmth too. When selecting shoes, there are a number of things to look for to ensure healthy development.
- Healthy foot development factor #1 - Thin soles. The thin suede sole of Robeez Soft Soles allows your child to feel the ground, allowing a better grip and promoting natural muscle development. When toddlers walk outdoors and soft soles aren't enough, Robeez Tredz offer the perfect balance of flexibility and protection.
- Healthy foot development factor #2 - Stays in place. Your baby's shoes should hold securely to their feet as they explore. The elasticized ankle band on Robeez Soft Soles and Robeez Tredz is designed to keep the shoe in place and move with your child.
- Healthy foot development factor #3 - Flexibility. Your child's shoe should bend at the metatarsal joint, that spot right underneath the ball of the foot. Without flexibility at this joint, the muscles may be impeded. Robeez soft and flexible soles allow your child's foot to bend and flex with ease.
- Healthy foot development factor #4 - Lightweight. Stiff soles and toe caps can trip baby, especially as they learn to walk. Robeez Soft Soles and Robeez Tredz are lightweight, weighing just ounces each.
Even More Peace of Mind
The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) recognizes products which promote normal foot function. All Robeez footwear products, including Soft Soles, Booties, and Tredz, carry the APMA's Seal of Acceptance. |

 The Experts: Parents, grandparents, caregivers of all kinds
Between the laundry, the dishes, and the diapers, we know babies are a lot of work. That's why when mom, Sandra Wilson created Robeez, she developed a shoe with an elasticized ankle that would slip on… and stay on baby's feet. Years later, that same simple design is still keeping Robeez shoes on little feet. And there are so many other great reasons parents love Robeez:
- Durability - Children can be tough on shoes. That's why Robeez leather, lining, and stitching are all rigorously tested to stand up to even the toughest little tikes.
- Breathable - To keep little feet cool and dry, Robeez shoes and booties are made of natural, breathable leather.
- Skid-resistant - The textured suede sole of Robeez Soft Soles and grippy TPR sole of Robeez Tredz prevents your child from slipping on smooth surfaces.
- Safe - Rest assured; all Robeez shoes are tested for safety and are free of harmful materials.
 The Experts: Fashion and style watchers
While the fashion world is known for putting fashion over function, it's comforting to know that your child's feet can have both.
Whether it's a sporty pair of Trainers to go with his tiny tracksuit or a dressy pair of Blossoms to coordinate with her first birthday dress, Robeez has a multitude of designs for every style and occasion.
