Does a non-walking baby need shoes?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
A non-walking baby does not need shoes. If your baby is still crawling or at the stage of supported stepping, bare feet are best — this supports natural foot muscle development and balance sense. In cold weather or outdoors, thin-soled, flexible, non-slip socks or booties for protection are sufficient. Stiff-soled, arch-supporting, or high-ankle shoes restrict foot movement in a non-walking baby and are not recommended. Once your baby takes 4-5 independent steps, you can transition to flexible-soled, lightweight, well-fitting first walking shoes.
