Podiatrists recommend babies wear a soft soled supportive shoe from pre-walking to approximately 24 months. Soft soles mean that the growing feet of your precious person receive important feedback from the ground as they learn to walk. This is great for their neurological development and makes sure there is room for those little feet to wriggle and grip. Our shoes are made from all natural soft leather, breathable and free of nasty chemicals (Chromium VI, Azo dyes, Formaldehydes) and conform to all European Safety Standards. We also have a hard sole range for your toddlers too!
