5 Reasons to Keep Your Baby Barefoot

Though baby shoes are cute, they may not have the desired effect on your little one's feet. You may be surprised to learn that keeping baby barefoot may be best.

Get a grip.

Bare feet allow baby to grip their feet to hardwood floor or carpet. For infants that are crawling, pulling up, or taking their first steps, bare feet allow them to feel surefooted and confident on the floor. When you're home, keeping baby barefoot is best.

Bare feet grow and develop naturally/normally.

Barefooters.org notes that you want to keep baby barefoot because it is what nature intended. As such, feet that are kept bare are able to grow and develop normally and naturally. It can be hard to guarantee that you have the perfect fit on a baby's shoe, which could hinder their growth or development if a shoe is too tight. Barefoot is best for baby's development.

Baby shoes are hard to walk in, and socks may be slippery.

If your baby is learning to walk, shoes may be difficult for them to walk in. Some shoes may feel clunky, while others will feel too tight on the top of the ankle. As a result, they're more likely to trip, fall, or resort to crawling when they would otherwise walk. Likewise, socks will make baby feet slippery when they are learning to walk. Shoes and socks won't encourage your baby to walk like bare feet would.

Good, quality, fitted shoes aren't cheap.

If you do decide to put your baby in shoes, they should be of good quality, with flexible soles to make walking easy, and need to be fitted for baby's feet properly by a professional. That doesn't come cheap. Similarly, they should be new shoes, and not hand-me-downs. Babies outgrow shoes quickly, so quality shoes can be a big investment for something that might not get a lot of wear.

Save shoes for special occasions or when heading out of the house.

You don't have to forgo baby shoes completely. In fact, they are the perfect finishing touch to a holiday outfit. When you're outside, of course you want your baby's feet protected. But when you're home, go barefoot.
