Being a parent is impossible without exploring the vast landscape of the children’s clothing and shoe markets. Regardless of the age of your little ones, your job as a parent is to make sure their fragile and ever-growing young feet are taken good care of at all times.
The market is rife with shoe manufacturers of all types: from local producers of hand-made footwear for infants and toddlers to large internationals offering shoes in every category: from little kids and kindergarteners to preschool and elementary school students.
Some of the more popular brands include Ecco, Geox, Clarks, Nike, and many others. However, their products may be quite expensive and not always offer the best price/quality ratio. Weestep, an established Polish manufacturer of baby and kids’ shoes, solves this problem by offering premium-quality products at a reasonable price.
Looking for durable, comfortable, and affordable walking shoes made of natural leather? Weestep’s got you covered at every step of the way!
Unlike regular shoes for adults, children’s footwear differs dramatically in terms of design, materials, and applicability for certain age groups. So what is the difference between baby and kids’ shoes that a caring parent should always bear in mind?
First and foremost, there is a difference between babies' and kids' feet because of the physical transformations that a young child’s foot undergoes from the moment of birth until full maturity. As a rule, it takes around 2 years for a newborn’s foot to fully develop. During this initial period, cartilage is gradually replaced with bones, muscles get stronger, and the child prepares for walking.
At this stage, most doctors recommend going shoeless for as long as possible to allow the feet to develop in the most natural, unobstructed way.
As the baby grows and starts crawling, the time comes to wear lightweight and soft shoes that protect the baby’s feet when playing outside.
The first steps raise the bar for children’s footwear and require a more sturdy structure and a non-slip sole for maximum comfort and safety both inside and outside the house.
Finally, when your child enters preschool age, it’s time to look for shoes that resemble their adult counterparts — durable, sturdy, featuring proper arch support and made of materials that allow the feet to breathe during all-day wearing.
