Image Description: A cute photograph of one single tiny knitted baby shoe. This two-tone purple and pink shoe would warm up a sweet little baby foot on a chilly day. It’s a great idea to put shoes on your baby for warmth and protection, but it is not a necessity for children to wear shoes all the time. At one time, it was thought that a child's foot needed support from a sturdy shoe in order to grow and form properly but, upon further research, pediatricians are now realizing the benefits of naturally developing the foot and leg muscles by growing up barefoot. Babies do not need arch support; in fact, it is much better to let the arch develop naturally and not force it into a particular position; that is why flexible knitted shoes like this are better for the baby, as they allow much more foot movement over a rigid shoe.
