KIDS SHOES- A common mistake when show shopping for your kids is buying shos that are 1/2 size bigger so they can 'grow into them". This is a bad idea. You need a show that fits so your child isnt vulnerable to trip and fall. As much as you want to buy a half size bigger to last onger, dont. Have your child fitted properly at the store or print off a show chart online(shoe company has kids one they give out at the store). There should be a thumb's width between the end of the shoe and the big toe.Make sure the heel isnt slipping when they walk too.;)

Neurologists recommend wearing swim shoes year around for kids with any sort of neurologic delay as it improves neurological function of the feet for better gait(walking pattern) development. The best part of swim shoes are the price!!! my kids love wearing them and I often find them on sale for anywhere between $7-$15, cant beat that price for kids shoes!! My kids wear them where they cant be barefoot essentially(ie.school and some parks)

You CANNOT achieve natural movements with your whole body if your feet can't move naturally, or functionally. You also cannot force your feet to walk naturally if they have been in casts(shoes) since you were born. Free your feet and walk barefoot when your at home. Make sure the next pain of shoes you buy has plenty of room for your toes to spread out in too:) If you buy shoes try and make them more about comfort and less about fashion your body will thank you!
