My child walks holding hands and on the edge.
So, you have a little one who is just starting to stand up?
Awesome! This is such an exciting stage in their development, isn't it?
What features should a shoe for your child have?
Waaraan herken ik de juiste schoen?
1. Flexible sole
A shoe with a flexible sole is definitely the right choice for your little one at this time.
Why?
When children are just beginning to pull themselves up and try standing, they still have a lot of balance and stability to learn.
A shoe with a flexible sole is perfect because it allows for the natural flexion and movement of the feet. It gives them the flexibility to roll their feet and find their balance without any restrictions. This helps them to strengthen and coordinate their muscles and joints as they take those important steps.
Their little feet are still growing and developing, so it's important to choose shoes that give their feet the freedom to move naturally.
2. Lightweight lace-up shoes
Lightweight shoes also give your mini the freedom to move without feeling like they are walking around in heavy clogs. It makes the whole learning process a lot easier and more comfortable.
And then there’s the matter of laces . We get it, tying those tiny laces can be a hassle, especially when you’re in a hurry. But guess what? Laces do provide a great fit because not all feet are the same. A lace is never difficult. A double knot around it and the tinkerers among us will never be able to untie it.
We are most fans of lace-up shoes , with or without a zipper, they provide that extra bit of comfort and stability that those little feet need
3. Leather
Furthermore, leather is a great material for shoes for minis who are just starting to pull themselves up.
Do you know why?
Because leather is super soft, flexible and breathable.
Your little one sweats up to 2x more along their feet than an adult because they have not yet developed sweat glands elsewhere. You can avoid clammy or smelly feet thanks to this natural material.
“If you want your little one to take his or her first steps in style and comfort, pay attention to the above three features”
