How to Choose Shoes for a Baby Learning to Walk

Patient's question:

The baby walks slightly on tiptoes, barefoot too, what kind of shoes are most suitable for the baby to walk.
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No concern about any kind of help: by phone or email

Doctor's answer:

An 8-month-old baby wears shoes mainly for warmth. When the child begins to crawl, stand with support, and learn to walk, it becomes important to provide the baby with a pair of suitable shoes, as this is when the feet need to bear the body's weight. At around 10 months, a baby's bones are still immature. Wearing ill-fitting shoes can interfere with the child's walking posture and cause uneven pressure on the joints of the feet, potentially leading to joint damage and hindering the development of the feet.
