Children's Shoes

An infant's foot is extremely fragile and pliable. It is more flesh and cartilage than bone. In fact, a child's foot growth is accompanied by a progressive "solidifying", which usually isn't complete until early adulthood. Therefore, proper fit and support are especially essential while the foot is growing. In fact, many medical practitioners believe most adult foot ills stem from foot and shoe neglect or abuse acquired during the growing years.

We take particular care when fitting infants and children to ensure a proper fit with adequate growing room. We stock a large variety of shoes in a wide range of widths to ensure a proper fit along with ample selection. We also advise parents on what type of shoes are best for their children depending on their stage of development or special needs.

Some infants and children may require corrective or prescription footwear to help rectify such problems as excessive in-toeing, out-toeing, or flat feet. These shoes have special features, such as arch-supporting shanks, special lasts (inflare, outflare, straight, etc.), extra-long medial counters, or Thomas heels, etc. We keep a number of these types of shoes in stock to ensure availability when prescribed by area physicians.
