Infants do not need to have hard soled shoes.  Robeeze Crib Shoes are considered appropriate and comfy for infants.

 

An infant or toddler just beginning to take a few steps will learn balance more quickly without hard soled shoes.  Once they begin to take steps with greater balance, New Balance shoes are one of the best choices.  They provide excellent arch support and over all support for a more steady step.

 

Never share your shoes between children.  Each childs foot is different and used shoes leave the imprint of the original wearer lessening the correct fit for a new wearer.  As tempting as it is to pass shoes from one child to the next, it is not a wise thing to do.  Just the sweat from their little feet can mold the inside of the shoes to their feet, leaving the new wearer of the shoe without the proper support they need for stability.
