comfortable shoes that you like, But have you ever wondered if your
child has the right shoes on? There are some big differences between children's
and adults feet that you should be aware of. 1. They're smaller 2. They're cuter 3. They're not as strong and rigid as adult feet. It's much easier for an improper shoe
