Children’s feet are still forming, which means materials, fit, and fasteners shape how they move. We reframe sandals and sneakers as safety equipment and unpack what truly matters when the concrete is wet, the beach sand is scorching, and the calendar is packed with play.
We start with the foundation: precise fit prevents sliding and...
