Step into Comfort: A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Jan & Jul Knit Shoes for Your Child
It's time to say goodbye to winter boots and hello to knit shoes! I write the caveat that if you're still dealing with lakes in the school yard, or mud at the park you might want to stick to boots. Knit shoes are great for running errands as the weather warms up, and fantastic once the grass is grass again.

Key features parents love
- Ultra-flexible soles that move effortlessly with your child's feet
- Grippy, zero-drop TPE sole that helps to prevent slips and promotes natural foot development
- Foot-shaped design that allows ample room for wide chubby feet
- Slip-on style that stays in place without the need for adjustable straps
- Easy-to-clean design; simply remove the insoles and machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle and air dry
- Range of sizes from newborn to toddler
The Cozy Sock features a zero-drop design. If like me, you don't know what that means... The term "zero-drop" refers to the fact that the sole has the same thickness from heel to toe, allowing the foot to sit in a natural position without any elevation or angle. This is beneficial for young children because it allows for proper alignment of the foot and promotes a natural gait pattern.
Traditional shoes often have elevated heels, which can alter the way a child's foot strikes the ground and can lead to improper alignment of the foot and leg. This can potentially cause issues such as muscle weakness, poor posture, and balance problems. The zero-drop design of the TPE sole also helps to promote sensory feedback from the ground. When a child's foot is in direct contact with the ground, they receive important sensory information that helps them to develop balance and coordination.
The soft and flexible material of the TPE sole also allows for natural foot movement, which is important for developing the muscles and tendons in the foot and leg. Sounds awesome, if you were concerned that the structure of a Wee Squeaks shoe was too much, its a fantastic option to share that bare foot experience.
