Shoe Recommendations
One question I get ALLL the time: “Which shoes are best for my kid?”
Figured I’d turn it into a blog so ya’ll can come back to reference. Because my answer to this question above is not always the same. It depends on your kid. It depends on the season. It depends where they are in the walking journey.
All shoes are linked directly to Amazon- but they may be cheaper on a different site FYI…
Also have the Amazon Shoe Recommendation List to find the shoes/lists all in one place.

—> If your kiddo is a Toe Walker.- First- go see a PT. 2ndly I like a very supportive shoe- no slippers/ no sandals. I like a wedge as well- you can put these in any shoes. Speak to your PT for a wearing schedule.
Wedge: Ankle supportive shoe:
Any toe curling/foot out/in? Go barefoot in the grass/sand. Costs nothing.
