The first steps: What parents should look for in first-walking shoes

Healthy feet from the start

When babies take their first steps, a very special phase of life begins.

It is precisely during this phase that they need shoes that don't constrict, but rather provide support. First-walking shoes or barefoot shoes for babies are ideal, as they allow the foot to move naturally without interfering with its development.

What makes a good first walking shoe?

A good first walking shoe is soft, flexible, non-slip, and has a wide toe box . It adapts to the foot and allows full freedom of movement.

There should be neither a heel nor a rigid sole. Furthermore, breathable, skin-friendly material is important for sensitive baby feet.

Avoid common mistakes when buying shoes

Many parents opt for rigid shoes with thick soles because they believe they are safer.

But the exact opposite is true: Babies need contact with the ground to develop their balance. Shoes that are too small are also a problem – their toes need room to grow.
