Description
Soft Star Shoes was founded 20 years ago with a philosophy of crafting beautiful shoes that grew happy, healthy feet. The Elves create quality, soft soled shoes in a fun, kid-friendly workshop in Corvallis, Oregon. We are a family business that takes pride in handcrafting each and every shoe for children worldwide.Children and parents think Soft Star Shoes are special because they are attractive and comfortable, but there is more to a great children's shoe than style and comfort. Our feet are complex structures, with 19 bones and 126 muscles and ligaments. Podiatrists agree that for young children, the more time spent barefoot, the better for the development of a healthy and athletic foot. Balance, strength and flexibility are maximized when feet are allowed to develop naturally. Many children's shoes made today are simply scaled down versions of adult shoes with arch supports, stiff soles and foot beds that are too narrow to allow feet room to spread. The ideal children's shoe should provide protection from the elements while doing the best to simulate barefoot conditions. Soft Star Shoes are designed wider for small feet, with flexible soft soles and natural breathable materials. All materials are non-toxic and washable. And they're cute."I am a pediatric therapist and feel that your shoes are the best at promoting natural development. They're the next best thing to bare feet."
