When a toddler is learning to walk, parents are told to let this process happen naturally by walking without shoes. Reason being shoes can affect how a child uses the muscles and bones in their feet.

Kids also meet the ground wholeheartedly when they walk barefoot, and this improves their proprioception (awareness of their body in space).

As a child gets older, we put their feet into shoes and they lose the benefits that come from walking barefoot. That’s why advocates of barefoot walking and exercising are pushing back on wearing shoes all day long and encourage us all to let our feet be free. And if it’s not practical, you can protect their feet using our barefoot shoes.
