Professor Wu Kunying, an expert in prosthetics and orthopedics at Zhongshan Medical College, introduced the choice of shoes according to the characteristics of children of all ages.

In general, the 0~15 month BB is called "crawling period to the beginning of toddler". At this point, the baby begins to try standing and toddler. At this stage, we should encourage the baby to bare feet indoors, so that feet can directly touch the ground, increase the feeling of sole grasping and cultivate the balance.

In order to keep warm and avoid injuries to feet, indoor shoes are also encouraged to wear shoes with extra thin and soft shoes to keep feet from scratching. While outside, the ground environment is complicated, it is suggested that shoes with a little thickness and strong protection should be further protected from the feet, but not too thick and too hard.
