The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Newborns don't need shoes. Babies explore the world with their feet — bare feet are best for sensory development and natural strengthening of foot muscles. Until they start walking, the only purpose of shoes is warmth, which is better provided by soft, thin-soled socks or soft booties. Rigid-soled, arch-supported, or tight shoes can negatively affect development. In short: newborns don't need shoes; bare feet are most natural and healthy.
