Wear soft-soled shoes or hard-soled shoes when the baby is learning to walk. When the baby learns to walk, parents will prepare a pair of toddler shoes for the baby. There are many toddler shoes on the market now. Let's first find out whether the baby learns to walk with soft-soled shoes or hard-soled shoes.
Does the baby learn to walk with soft-soled shoes or hard-soled shoes? The sole thickness should be moderate. Nowadays, many merchants will make the soles very thick when producing shoes, but too thick soles will make the baby lose balance and the baby's soles will not feel the ground. When walking, they will stagger.
When the baby is learning to walk, his body is unstable and his center of gravity needs to be placed on the soles of his feet. If he moves his center of gravity up, he will fall.
In the long run, the baby will lose confidence in walking, and the mood will become anxious and irritable, which will also have a certain impact on the baby's body and bone development.
Refuse shoes with sound. Many children's shoes will be equipped with whistle devices, and the baby will make a sound when walking. The original intention of the designer to design this kind of shoes is to make the baby safer. If parents hear the sound gradually decreasing, it means that the baby has gone far.
However, the whistle is likely to fall. If the shoes are silent, but the baby has gone far, parents may relax their vigilance, so that the baby is prone to danger.
Moreover, the whistle on the shoes is very sharp, and the baby often hears this sound when walking, which also has a certain impact on the baby's ear development.
Size of shoes Some parents think that their babies develop faster and their feet grow faster, so when buying shoes, they will buy a slightly larger size, so that their babies will wear them for more time.
The baby's shoes are too big, which will lead to the baby's incorrect posture when walking and affect the baby's bone development. If the baby's shoes are too small, they will squeeze the muscles of the baby's feet.
Therefore, when parents buy shoes for their baby, let the baby put on the shoes and put in a finger, so that the size of the shoes is appropriate.
The material of shoes is too hard or too soft. When individual parents buy shoes for their babies, they only pay attention to the brand and style of shoes, not to the material and softness of shoes. These are all wrong.
Some parents will buy hard shoes for their babies, but this will cause injuries to the soles of their feet, increase friction and affect their interest in learning to walk. In this way, the baby will resist wearing shoes and like to walk barefoot, while the baby with a big reaction will directly refuse to walk.
Inappropriate shoes, what's the bad effect on the baby?
Shoes are not the right size, and babies with deformed feet develop rapidly when they are young. By the time I was two and a half years old, my feet were as big as adults. If parents don't find out in time, wearing shoes that are too small for the baby will affect the baby's foot deformity.
One of the most common is hallux valgus, with the thumb pointing to the second toe. Another common deformity is the curl of the little finger, and the little mother toe of the foot rests on the fourth toe, which is also the result of the baby's shoes being too small.
Distract the baby. Walking hunched, holding your chest out, and shoes with sound and light will distract your baby. The baby wants to look down at the shoes when he walks. In the long run, the baby will form the habit of walking with his head down and his chest straight.
When the baby is young, it is the best time for the development of bones and muscles. If the baby forms the habit of hunchback at this time, it is easy to cause the baby's spine to bend.
Glowing shoes affect the baby's eyesight. Nowadays, more and more children's shoes will glow, and babies are lively and curious, and they like glowing things very much.
When walking, the shoes will emit colored light, which will affect and stimulate the baby's vision. The baby is in the best period of physical development. If you hurt your eyes, the consequences will be very serious.
Babies often stare at shiny shoes, which can easily lead to eye fatigue, frequent blinking and decreased vision. These are very dangerous.
There is noise in the shoes, which affects the baby's hearing. The baby's shoes are equipped with whistles, which makes a lot of noise. You can hear voices dozens of meters away. Wearing shoes on the baby's feet is closer to the sound, which is easy to damage the baby's eardrum. The baby can hear harsh noise every day, which is easy to affect hearing.
If the noise of the baby's two shoes is different, it will easily affect the strength of the baby's walking and form a lame walking posture.
Does the baby learn to walk with soft-soled shoes or hard-soled shoes? For a baby who has just started to learn to walk and is still unstable, soft-soled toddler shoes are more suitable for him than hard-soled toddler shoes. Because the soft-soled toddler shoes at this stage can help the baby experience the most intuitive feeling of contact between the feet and the ground, which is conducive to letting the baby feel a sense of coordination and balance when learning to walk. Moreover, soft-soled toddler shoes can also help the nerve development of the baby's feet and make the baby more suitable for the way of walking.
If it is for a baby who has just learned to walk but walks steadily, hard-soled toddler shoes are more suitable than soft-soled shoes. If you choose soft-soled shoes at this time, it will lead to insufficient support when the baby walks and cannot support the soles of the feet. It will not only affect the baby's footstep development, but also easily hurt the baby's ankle. Therefore, it is more appropriate to use hard-soled toddler shoes for babies whose toddlers are stable.
How to choose the right shoes for your baby?
Check the label of the shoes in detail. No matter what products you buy, there will be product labels, and the same is true for buying shoes for your baby. Parents should check the product label of shoes.
It is marked with information such as material composition, precautions and applicable age. Careful parents can also check the origin of shoes, the name of the manufacturer, whether there are implementation standards and so on.
According to different ages, choose whether the shoes are fastened. Strictly speaking, it is more convenient to adjust the tightness of shoes, but the baby has a lot of activities every day. If the shoes are loose, the baby can easily step on the shoelaces and fall.
Moreover, the baby is young and can't tie his shoelaces skillfully, which will dampen his enthusiasm for learning. Parents can choose whether to tie their shoes according to their babies' different ages.
The material of shoes is very important. Parents should choose breathable materials when buying shoes for their babies. Leather shoes, plastic shoes, rubber shoes, etc. Poor air permeability. Babies tend to sweat when they exercise a lot every day. If the air permeability is not good, it is easy to cause beriberi.
Parents can choose breathable' cloth shoes' or sports shoes for their babies. These shoes are breathable, light and stress-free.
The heels should not be too high. Every shoe has a heel, but the heel should not be too high when the baby walks, and it can be controlled within 2 cm. Baby flat shoes are more conducive to the development of baby's feet, and the probability of baby's plantar muscle pain and ligament strain will be reduced.
Babies learn to walk and wear soft-soled shoes or hard-soled shoes. Babies who just learn to walk should wear soft-soled shoes, because the friction of soft-soled shoes is relatively large, and the baby's walking steps are not so stable. Therefore, soft-soled shoes are the first choice, and it is recommended to buy special shoes for toddlers. Of course, hard-soled shoes are helpful for the baby's bone growth. When the baby is stable, it is best to buy something neither hard nor soft.
By the time the baby reaches 18 months, the baby has walked steadily, and the sole of the chosen toddler shoes can be a little harder. At this time, if you choose toddler shoes with too soft soles, the support is insufficient and you can't support the soles. When the baby walks and goes down the steps, the lateral side of the heart socket will touch the ground, which will affect the growth of the lateral longitudinal arch of the foot. At the same time, the soft sole is thin, which has no shock absorption effect, and has great vibration to the calcaneus, which is easy to hurt the ankle joint.
How to choose baby toddler shoes

Insoles should have hardness and elasticity, and use genuine leather and leather instead of thick and soft sponge.
2. The vamp should be breathable.
The whole vamp and lining are required to feel comfortable and breathable, and the baby's feet are prone to sweating because of too much activity. If you wear airtight shoes for a long time, it is easy to get beriberi. The ventilation of shoes is beneficial to the breathing and blood flow of baby's feet.
3. The soles are required to be non-slip.
Toddler shoes should have anti-slip design, so the baby is unstable and easy to fall. Non-slip toddler shoes can greatly reduce the chance of babies falling. Nowadays, many toddler shoes on the market will have anti-slip design, so parents can pay attention to their choice.
4, shoe size requires big fingers.
The size of baby toddler shoes should be selected according to the length comparison table of different brands of shoes. Generally, the shoe size chosen is about 0.5 to 1 cm longer than the baby's own feet. The heel can reach one finger of an adult, and the baby grows fast. Check your baby's shoes every two months.
5, simple style requirements
When the baby is young, he will subconsciously put something in his mouth. If there are ornaments on his toddler shoes, he will probably tear them off and send them to his mouth when he is sitting and playing, which will easily lead to suffocation due to eating by mistake. If some ornaments are smooth and sharp, there is a danger of scratching his delicate skin. Therefore, it is necessary to choose simple and generous toddler shoes for your baby.
