Important Attributes of a Riley Roos Baby Shoe

Anti-Slip is Essential: One essential attribute of a safe and quality baby and toddler footwear is that it should be skid-resistant, or in other words, anti-skid.

Fact: Riley Roos baby shoes are constructed with a protective bottom in order to help support your toddler's feet and to provide more friction and traction for your baby while he or she is crawling or walking, greatly lessening the risk of your toddler falling and slipping while learning how to walk; whether it be a slippery surface or any other kind of surface for that matter.

Hard Sole vs. Soft Sole: The issue pertaining to what specific type of sole is more suited for an infant and toddler footwear has long been debated. But the more preferred choice by most experts and parents alike would be the soft sole.

Fact: Riley Roos baby shoes' sole are made of a very pliable and flexible rubber-padding that curls up to the tiny little toes of your baby enabling them to actually walk better by providing him or her that extra leverage needed for a child that is making his or her natural gravitation from crawling to walking.

*Also, compared to the earlier versions of first walking shoes which are heavy and bulky, Riley Roos baby shoes are super soft and lightweight making for a more comfortable crawl or walk for your precious little angel

Extra Space for Toes to Grow: According to a recent survey, over ninety percent of kids these days are wearing ill-fitted shoes. The percentage for parents who failed in noticing this problem is also at ninety percent. What is the lesson here? Make sure that your baby can move his or her toes freely while wearing the shoes.

Fact: Riley Roos baby shoes have a wide toe area which is a very important quality that parents always consider when buying a closed toe shoe for their babies. The wide toe area of the Riley Roos baby shoes is perfect for a baby's growing feet and also for toddlers who have this strange habit of scrunching up their toes whenever they put on their shoe.

*The toe part of a Riley Roos baby shoes also hardly turns up during walking or crawling.

* The wide toe area of a Riley Roos baby shoes also allows for your child's foot to be able to easily fit inside.

*The finest degree of separation between your child's toes and the inside lining of the toe part of your child's shoe should be about the width of the middle finger. Be careful though, because too much separation space between your child's toe and the inner shoe will also make the shoe an ill-fitted footwear as too much extra space may cause your baby to actually trip and fall.

Lace vs. Velcro: Just like with hard sole and soft sole, the issue on whether a laced shoe or a Velcro-strapped shoe is better suited for infants and toddlers has also long been debated. Most experts and parents do prefer the latter type kind of shoe strapping, which is the Velcro strap more than the shoe lace.
