The best shoe for a toddler allows the foot to make natural motion. You’ll want to avoid bulky or heavy shoes that may make walking difficult and don’t allow for development of the growing foot.
Qualities to shop for include being lightweight, having a flexible sole, being easy to get on and off, a breathable design, and made from natural materials.
There’s no one best shoe for all children. By trying some on, you may find a pair that suits your child’s unique foot shape and your family’s lifestyle/activities. And remember that the most expensive shoes aren’t always the best —there’s a “best” shoe for every budget.
