Do Babies Need Shoes? When babies start crawling, their feet will need protection, especially when crawling outside, at daycare or on different surfaces. Barefoot is best for babies, but little feet need protection from cold floors and potential objects that are in the way.
How do I protect my baby's feet when crawling?
- Do some more babyproofing.
- Try crawling yourself.
- Prep your hardwood floors for crawling.
- Dress your baby in pants (or crawling knee pads)
- Maintain an eagle eye.
What are pre-walking shoes for?
Prewalking shoes Pre-walking shoes help your baby get started on the right foot when they show interest in mobility. Because the nerve endings and soft cartilage are still in the developmental stage at this point, baby feet shouldn't be contained to the point where they may mold improperly.
When can a baby wear pre-walking shoes?
0-15 months
When should you put shoes on a baby?
- are lightweight and flexible (remember to avoid hard, stiff shoes that restrict foot movement)
- fit well (aren't too loose or too tight)
- have non-skid soles.
