DESIGNED FOR BABIES GETTING READY TO WALK

During the pre-walking stage, your baby's feet are developing rapidly. Our pre-walker shoes feature ultra-soft, flexible suede soles that protect tiny feet without restricting natural movement during tummy time and crawling. The infant-shaped last mirrors natural foot anatomy with a flatter midfoot, narrower heel, and roomy toes. An injection-molded cage provides gentle heel support while the soft knit upper hugs without pinching. These shoes prepare feet for walking while keeping them warm and protected during those precious early months.

PERFECT FOR EVERY PRE-WALKING MILESTONE

Whether your little one is just discovering their toes during tummy time, crawling across the living room, or pulling themselves up to cruise along the furniture, our pre-walker shoes move with them. The lightweight design won't slow them down, while the flexible suede sole allows natural foot flexion and sensory feedback from the ground. Easy on, easy to clean, and tough enough for daily adventures. Available in sizes 3-4, covering babies from newborn through those first tentative standing moments.

FAQ

When should I start putting shoes on my baby?

Pre-walker shoes are ideal for babies who are crawling or cruising (typically 6-9 months) and need foot protection during outdoor adventures or in cooler weather. For indoor play, barefoot is still best, but these shoes protect without restricting natural development when needed.

How do pre-walker shoes differ from first walker shoes?

Pre-walker shoes have even softer, more flexible soles designed for babies who aren't bearing full weight on their feet yet. They focus on protection and warmth rather than walking support. First walker shoes have slightly more structure to support those first independent steps.

What size should I get for my newborn?

Size 3 typically fits newborns to 3-month-olds, while size 4 fits 3-9 months. Always measure your baby's foot and add 0.5-1cm for growth room. Our pre-walker shoes have a roomy toe box, so sizing up is better than being too tight.

Can my baby wear these shoes indoors?

Yes! While barefoot is ideal for sensory development, our pre-walker shoes are perfect for indoor wear when you need foot protection on hard floors, during cooler months, or when visiting homes where shoes are preferred. The suede sole provides excellent grip on smooth surfaces.

Are these shoes machine washable?

Yes! Our pre-walker shoes can be machine-washed on a gentle cycle in cold water. Air dry only - never put them in the dryer. The durable construction and quality materials are designed to withstand the messes of early childhood exploration.
