ya tak ponimayu chto v Rossii vse sovsem inache, no vor mnenie Amarecan Academy of Pediatrics: As your child begins to walk outside, she’ll need shoes to protect her feet. They should be comfortable and flexible with nonskid soles to avoid slips and provide room to grow; sneakers are fine. Your child does not need wedges, inserts, high backs, reinforced heels, special arches, and other features designed to shape and support the feet as they have no proven benefit for the average child.http://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/Pages/Movement-8-to-12-Months.aspx
