Healthy materials & construction
First steps are special — shoes shouldn’t get in the way. Orthopaedists recommend first‑walker shoes with flexible, slip‑resistant soles and a good fit to allow the feet to develop naturally. Our models are made from high‑quality, breathable materials such as leather or cotton fabrics and are free from harmful substances.
Supporting foot development
A soft sole allows a child to feel the ground and train their muscles. Going barefoot is often recommended, but on smooth floors or outdoors, first‑walker shoes provide protection and warmth. A good fit prevents pressure points and gives toes enough room. Remember to check the size regularly.
Sustainable brands & materials
Sustainability is key in our selection. Brands like PEPINO by Ricosta use Terracare® leather and flexible natural rubber soles produced in an environmentally friendly way. Doghammer relies on cork, wool and natural rubber and produces fairly in Portugal. Anna & Paul use plant‑tanned leather with slip‑resistant soles. Your choice helps protect the environment.
Style variety & combinations
Depending on the weather, choose between crawling shoes, sandals, sneakers or loafers & ballerinas. Neutral colours make them easy to pair with pants, dresses or leggings. Many styles feature practical hook‑and‑loop fastenings so parents can put them on and take them off quickly.
Care & long-lasting joy
To keep first‑walker shoes in good shape, clean them regularly with a brush or damp cloth and let them air‑dry. Treat leather with natural conditioners to keep it supple. Store them in a dry place. High‑quality materials and solid construction mean you can pass them on to siblings — sustainable and wallet‑friendly.
