What are the school requirements around footwear? Does it need to be a traditional school shoe or are sport-style school shoes allowed? (If a traditional school shoe is mandatory, is black or brown required?) To work out which school shoe is best for you and your child, simply ask yourself these 4 simple questions! There is such a wide range of school shoes available with more added to the market every year. From this, shoe recommendations will be made around the fitting and walking stage of the child. A Fit Squad member can determine the length, width, and depth of the child’s foot and their stage of walking. So, once they start walking head into your nearest Shoes & Sox store for a FREE fit consult. Old Soles pre-walkers come in a range of styles including sandals, mary janes, shoes, and boots. They have a silicon sole which provides more grip than a foam sole, making them ideal for gripping to floorboards or tiled flooring.
NOTE: For little ones who are doing plenty of crawling and climbing in their pre-walkers a reinforced toe cap is ideal to protect the toes and increase durability with wear.Īnother crowd favourite, are Old Soles pre-walkers. This shoe is leather inside and out, meaning it is breathable PLUS it has a reinforced toe cap. Shoes & Sox have 8 pre-walker brands to choose from including Adidas, Bobux, Ciao, Converse, Kicks, Old Soles, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Vans.īobux pre-walkers in the Xplorer Go range are very popular every season as they have a soft, flexible, lightweight, foam sole that allows ease of movement for new walkers. So, your little one starts taking their first steps and suddenly, they need shoes! Where do you start? Almost always Pre-walkers. Picking a first shoe with a hard sole restricts movement as it is rigid and heavy which can cause little ones to revert back to crawling as it is easier. Although toddler shoes are super cute, they’re often too hard for the stage of walking the child is at. The most common interaction I have with parents picking first shoes is deciding on the sole. A child’s feet muscles begin to strengthen, and bones begin to ossify as they start to move and walk, therefore it is important to pick the right pair of first shoes!
