I've been wondering about how the shape of shoes might change from childhood through adulthood.
Barefoot TJ's post got me motivated to finally start a thread.

So, I went to Amazon.com, and looked in the Shoe department for baby, toddler, big kid, and adult female shoes.
I picked the first athletic shoe listed, unless it was a novelty item (such as Heelys). An athletic shoe is intended for function and movement (or at least the manufacturers would probably like us to believe that.)
The shoes shown below were also very popular, with hundreds of reviews. So, these are the shoes that people are wearing.
Baby girl
Toddler girl
Big kid girl
Adult woman
