Shoes can cause a disturbance in balancing.    

Pre-walker and shoes

Parents usually prefer to buy shoes for the pre-walkers with the idea that shoes will support them preventing their babies from germs while walking on the floor. However, we are against this perception. In accordance with our recommendations, pre-walker and new walkers should not wear baby shoes. The barefoot walk is best for your babies. Try to use special detergents and cleaning materials to make your floor germs free. Furthermore, to prevent your baby’s feet from injuries you can try soft sole shoes and flexible shoes.

Do shoes have a positive impact on ankles?

It is commonly assumed that wearing shoes can give strength to the baby's feet and ankles. While there is no scientific proof available for this assumption. It is just a general perception of parents which has no a scientific background. Somehow, shoes are best for the protection of baby’s feet from getting injured and cold. Walking barefoot in the winter season can also cause cold for the little babies. But it does not mean that you should strap on your children shoes as he/she starts walking. Let your babies walk barefoot when they start crawls indoor.
