About Itzy Bitzy™ Squeaky Shoes
For Children
Itzy Bitzy™ adorable squeaky shoes are the perfect way to encourage your toddler to walk. In order for the shoe to squeak, your child must walk heel to toe, thereby encouraging them to walk properly and not up on their toes.
Physical and Occupational therapists are using Itzy Bitzy™ squeaky shoes with young patients to encourage proper form while walking. The squeaky sound the child hears reinforces that they are walking correctly.
Itzy Bitzy™ squeaky shoes are also a great tool in encouraging visually impaired children to walk. When children can not see things they want to walk towards, it inhibits their motivation to walk, but when they hear the squeaky sounds coming from their feet as they step, it makes walking exciting and fun, and encourages them to continue.
Itzy Bitzy™ squeaky shoes are also great for children who have mastered walking and have moved onto running, skipping and hopping and jumping. They'll practice these skills over and over again just to hear their shoes squeak.
Itzy Bitzy™ squeaky shoes are pediatrician recommended for their soft flexible soles. The squeaky sound is created as your child steps on air and forces it through the squeaky device. Your child is walking on air, making these shoes very comfortable to wear and walk in.
For Parents
Itzy Bitzy™ squeaky shoes are a must have for parents. They are a great tool in keeping track of you child whether at a crowded amusement park, mall, park or even your own backyard or house. They may quickly disappear out of your sight, but being able to hear their squeaky steps will greatly ease your level of anxiety while locating them.
The "squeaker" can easily be disabled by temporarily removing it from the sole of the shoe, or placing a piece of tape over it.
NEVER REMOVE THE SQUEAKER WITH YOUR TEETH!!!!!
