Carter's Baby Walking Shoes
Inevitably, your infants and toddlers will stop crawling and begin to walk outside. At this time, they will also outgrow their original baby shoes. Carter’s has lines of booties, moccasins, and a host of other footwear for children as they take their first steps.
When should you buy your baby's first walking shoes?It is not until babies are walking around outside that you will need to upgrade their shoes. Until that time, it is perfectly acceptable for children to walk around barefoot. Little feet in the early stages of life are not ready for leather sneakers as feet are growing rapidly.
If you do feel that your children should have baby shoes for occasions such as car trips, for example, get some soft-soled shoes to protect their feet.
How often should you buy your baby new shoes?It is important to check infants' and toddlers' feet regularly. If they cry when you slip on their shoes or if they refuse to put on their footwear, then it might be time to get a larger size. If a baby's toes fill the top end of the shoes, the shoes are too tight. Footwear that is too tight will hurt children's feet and can cause them to grow incorrectly. This, in turn, will affect how they walk.
How do you buy toddler shoes?First of all, it is important to measure both the length and width of your baby’s feet. Your kid's feet are probably two different sizes. Buy footwear that fits the bigger foot, or better yet, buy shoes that allow for at least the space of your thumb. In other words, the space between the tip of the toes to the top of the shoe should be the width of your thumb. This ensures that your child’s feet will have room to grow.
Your baby’s heel should fit snugly without pinching. If the shoe slips off easily at the heel, then it is too big. The footwear should be snug enough to stay in place when your baby moves.
Offering many options, Carter's shoes are made with man-made materials and can be wiped clean. The line of baby shoes has a seamless lining and features decorations like glitter and bows as well as patterns such as flowers and dinosaurs. Solid colors for boys and girls range from black and white to blue, pink, gray, gold, and more. You can choose shoes with closure ties, slip-on style, or Velcro straps.
