My Aunt noticed that my son's feet turned outward, when he would bear crawl, and she said that it was a problem for the development of his feet. She recommended that I go to the foot doctor, to see what solutions would help his feet. So instead of going to the doctor(which I hate medical bills), I was told by a friend to start putting high top shoes on him, in order for him to walk and for his feet to lay flat. I bought these leather high top shoes, which go with everything, and the shoes fixed his feet and he started walking two months later. I highly recommend these shoes for first time walkers and children with feet problems.
