Baby & Toddler Barefoot Shoes - Apple Cheeks Rose

6-12 month  

12cm 

Rose pink leather shoes with raspberry and lime green apple motif. Lime green collar.

These barefoot shoes are crafted to follow the natural shape of a baby’s foot. Made from soft, breathable leather and supple suede, each pair features a flexible sole—either a lightweight suede version or a “Gripz” rubber option. An elasticated collar hugs the ankle for a secure, slip free fit, so the shoes stay on even during the most enthusiastic wiggles.

Benefits of Barefoot Shoes

• Supports Healthy Growth: The non-restrictive, wide design allows tiny toes to splay and move freely, which is essential for building strength and proper foot structure.

• Enhances Balance and Coordination: With thin, flexible soles, your little one can feel and grip the floor, a sensory connection that is vital for developing coordination and balance.

• Promotes Proper Gait: The lightweight construction allows for the natural, unhindered movement of ankles, knees, and hips, encouraging a proper gait pattern from their very first steps.

• Ensures All-Day Comfort: The natural breathability of leather helps keep feet cooler and drier, reducing the chance of irritation or sweat related discomfort, ensuring comfort throughout the day. Suede vs. Rubber Soles To perfectly suit baby’s stage of development, we offer two sole options.

Suede Soles: Ideal for Indoors and Early Movers Our fully flexible suede soles are remarkably lightweight and offer excellent slip-resistance on indoor surfaces. This makes them the perfect choice for crawlers, pre-walkers, and for general indoor wear, providing a soft, protective layer that doesn't impede natural foot movement. 'Gripz' Rubber Soles: Perfect for Active Walkers For explorers ready to venture outdoors, our ‘Gripz’ rubber soles provide an extra layer of protection. These non-slip, pliable soles are suitable for damp conditions, making them the best option for confident walkers who need a bit more protection between their feet and the world. ‘Gripz’ rubber soles are suitable for damp conditions and walkers.
