"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -- Rom. 8:28
At least into the 1950s, it was fashionable to bronze each baby's first shoes. My mother kept all of her childrens' bronzed baby shoes on the mantle. I am not sure if these were dipped or more likely eelectrocuted.

Not my mother. I suspect she saved them for my brothers to wear and then forgot about them. There was so little wear on them, I wonder if any of us actually put them on the ground. They are usually high tops not because of ankle support or anything health related, but to enable the mother to tie them so that they will stay on the baby's feet (very likely so as to help preserve the mother's sanity, so that would be health related ;) ).
