Toe Walking

How big a problem is toe walking? My son will be 11 months old next week and has been cruising around the furniture or pushing toys, but is always up on the ball of his foot/ tippy toes - never flat footed. Is this anything to worry about?

When he is standing and playing I will sometimes go over and push his heels down but he only stays that way for a second or so. I plan on asking his doctor at his 1 year check, but his Daycare mentioned it and now has me worried. He is a happy little guy and does not have any developmental delays. Should we see his doctor sooner?
