It seems there are two school of thoughts on babies footwear. I have been trying to find out why some paediatricians believe that parents should resist the urge to put shoes on babies till they are actually walking without the aid of furniture etc, they say that this aids foot development and coordination. However others feel that as soon as babies are at the "cruising" stage they should be in suitable footwear. I have found no reason why the latter argument is so. Can someone please explain the reason for this thought?
