Kid Moccasins!
Kid moccasins. If you are looking for moccasins for your child, good for you!
As parents, we want to do what is best for our kids. I am a Board Certified Pedorthist, and let me tell you, kid moccasins, are one of the best things, both short and long term, you can ever do.
Your child's feet grow so fast and are constantly changing. It is critical his/her feet have the room and the shape to fit his unique feet.
Growth Spurts!
Between the ages of about 4 and 13, your kid’s foot is growing and solidifying. The bones of his/her feet become harder, and he is forming joints in his feet. During these years, his foot muscles are continuing to gain strength.
By wearing mocs, her feet can function naturally without being restricted by shoes. This helps to strengthen muscles in the feet and legs and allows the feet and body to function naturally.

Walk like a duck.
During the first 10 years, the average foot grows about 17 full shoe sizes. Usually by the time a girl is between 11 and 12 years old, and the age of 14 for boys, their feet will have reached about 90% of full growth. However, there is often a growth spurt between the ages of 11 and 16. These growth and formation rates are averages.

If the shoe fits, oh, but it never does!
Since I don't actually sell moccasins, and a number of individuals were asking for them, I searched and found a company who carries a nice, broad selection.
Also, just to be sure I felt comfortable sending my visitors to them, I ordered a pair myself. I was quite impressed. I received them just as they said. I paid no shipping, (no return shipping if I wanted to return them), and no sales tax.

Moccasins make a lot of sense for kids. Their feet are changing so fast, and their foot is easily moldable by the shoe it goes into. Moccasins are much more to mold to the kid’s foot than normal shoes are.
Shoes often times will mold the foot to the shape and size of the shoe, not the other way around.
Check your kid’s feet often for length and fit. It is believed, in the pedorthic industry, a large number of foot problems begin with children’s shoes.
As I said, I highly recommend enhanced kid moccasins, and I prefer mocs with a soft sole.
