I'm willing to bet that 98% of the kids wearing them didn't need them and didn't benefit from them, but it was a health fad of the early-to-mid 1950s.

Going barefoot is what humans' feet are made for. (Also everyone in childhood undergoes a bow-legged and a knock-knees stage.) I loved going barefoot until I stepped into a sea urchin, and since my absolute favorite footwear have been flipflops (and the only I am thrilled to buy).
